Steps to Reproduce

N/A

Actual Behavior

I tried to click "Visit this Location" for a Regions place page. The URI link is malformed, and tried to open another instance of the viewer, Instead it is giving the X,Y coordinates of the region, rather than an actual URI link.

Expected Behavior

To open up the place profile in the viewer.

Other information

Additionally, places.secondlife.com needs to be added to the JIRA tracker.

Visit This Location is by design. We will add places.secondlife.com to the tracker. Thanks.

Comment from NeoBokrug on the forum - he can't comment here because the JIRA is closed.

— Since the JIRA issue is closed, I am explaining further and posting my fix here —

The SL viewer does not like URI location x, y, z, values greater than 256. On a region page (not a parcel) ,the regions global coordinates are where the X and Y should be instead of local coordinates. Since my regions global coordinates are 786x, 1038y, clicking Visit this Location will try to open another instance of the viewer because it doesn't understand what the URI wants to do, instead of opening the Place Profile window of the viewer.

Possible fixes, one is tested and works:

  • For region pages only, default the x,y,z to 128,128,0. Because it's a region destination it should be fine. (less desirable, but works)
  • Find the regions telehub/infohub coordinates with a back-end search, and put actual x,y,z coordinates in.

I pray that a Linden sees this, and instructs someone to re-open the issue as it is a LEGITIMATE BUG.
