known issue Past Leaders Functionality Broken

[sadams101]

I was investigating some strange log entries, and may have found a bug. Here is an example of the log entry with the domain in URL changed because I don't want bots hitting it:

The log entry was triggered by a guest (Guests)
Sunday at 06:03 AM
The URL of page the error occurred on was https://www.myURL.com/pastleaders/?sortdirection=desc

TypeError: Cannot assign string to property IPS\Dispatcher\_Front::$currentPage of type ?int (0)
#0 /home/celiac/public_html/system/Dispatcher/Dispatcher.php(110): IPS\Dispatcher\_Front->init()
#1 /home/celiac/public_html/index.php(13): IPS\_Dispatcher::i()
#2 {main}

BACKTRACE:
#0 /home/myURL/public_html/init.php(1049): IPS\_Log::log('TypeError: Cann...', 'uncaught_except...')
#1 [internal function]: IPS\IPS::exceptionHandler(Object(TypeError))
#2 {main}

This led me to do some testing on this page, and I was unable to click on Page 2, or Page 3 and get the results to change, and I see that your site has the same issue (after going there just try clicking on the different pages of past leaders, and they results don't change):

• https://invisioncommunity.com/pastleaders/ 

Perhaps the "sortdirection" in the example link in the error is something that has been discontinued, but even the Jump To Page function does not work, and there is no way to display any older past leaders than those that appear on the initial page.

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! I can confirm this should be further reviewed and I have logged an internal bug report for our development team to investigate and address as necessary, in a future maintenance release.
