sadams101 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 My site gets tons of w3 HTML validation errors for the social mailto sharing link. I noticed that this forum does not use the same type of social sharing links as the default ones in the current version of IPS. Does anyone know how to fix these errors?

sadams101 Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) After more experiments, it seems I had to change the "?subject={$title}" from the email sharing template to something like: ?subject=Article_from_Mysite.com Not an ideal solution, but it avoids the many validation errors I am seeing. A better solution would be to have the ability to have the same pop up that is used on this site for the social links. When will that be available in a current release?

Stuart Silvester Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Thank you for letting us know, I have adjusted that for 4.6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an easy patch... We issue patches for critical or wide-impacting issues. These validation errors would not qualify as one of those.

sadams101 Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 Any chance you can share the fix for the calendar issue here? Google is now penalizing pages that have too many W3 errors, so I am fixing those errors. The use of the "scrolling" attribute when you share links to articles within posts is causing W3 errors. Example: https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/154906-advice-please-waiting-to-be-diagnosed/?tab=comments#comment-1086093 https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.celiac.com%2Fforums%2Ftopic%2F154906-advice-please-waiting-to-be-diagnosed%2F%3Ftab%3Dcomments%23comment-1086093 Is this also fixed in 4.6, and if so, can you share the fix here?
