Hey Jordan or who ever else reads this.
I updated SSR-11 GT1 1.5 and the download button wouldn't work. Thought I had messed up the URL so I re-updated still had the problem with getting a 404 error at the PSN site.
After several complaints that it wasn't working I tried again. Same result.
I paste https://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gt6/user/#!/friend/Otaliema/course/1892195/
And the resulting URL at PSN is
https://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gt6/user/#!/Otaliema/course/1892195/

I did create a new resource o see if it was an overall glitch or just with updates on this track and it appears it's just with updates as the new page https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/resources/ssr-11-gt1-layout.4018/ here is working fine.
 
Are you sure you're pasting the correct URL?

You said you pasted:

Code: 
https://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gt6/user/#!/friend/Otaliema/course/1892195/

That is the correct link to the track, but that text is actually linked to a different, incorrect URL:

Code: 
https://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gt6/user/#!/mypage/course/1892195/

The links are not manipulated or changed after you submit them to the database.

So would that be like posting a link for https://www.gtplanet.net but then posting https://www.gtplanet.net ?

They say the same, but link differently and acts like plain text with an attatched link.

For example, the first link should be GTP. The second link should be Wham's Last Christmas. Even though that is not what the link says.

I didn't think that would work...

When I paste the URL into the code block for the track it shows as plain text. Is it retaining any URL codeing from the BB code maybe? I just tried the above link again and got the same result. when I tried from the reply window in code edit mode I got the exact same issue.
I have even done right click copy url on my GT6 community page, track and edited per your thread
https://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gt6/user/#!/mypage/course/1892195/
into
https://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gt6/user/#!/friend/Otaliema/course/1892195/
It still gives a code 404 because the URL is still missing the /friend/ with this one track. Is it maybe bugged some how on the back end as I'm not acutaly changing anything with the resource?


Edit; and Is good to know editing a active url in the RTE window doesn't actully change the URL just the displayed text. I thought it changed the url itself.

If you copy the text of those links you get a link to GTPlanet. If you copy the URL of those links you get GTPlanet in the first case and Wham in the second case.

In a similar way, if you only edit the text of a link and not the URL, and then copy the URL, the link is the same as it was before editing. So maybe that was the problem in this case?

@Otaliema I made a little Python application that converts the links, it's fast and easy to use and reduces the risk for errors in the link editing process: http://eran0004.pythonanywhere.com/

  1. Enter your PSN ID
  2. Paste the URL (as copied from your community page)
  3. If successful, the converted link is printed on the screen as a text string.

I'm not sure what the problem is/was, but I just tried updating the resource myself with the correct URL:

https://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gt6/user/#!/friend/Otaliema/course/1892195/

It appears to be working as expected.

Thank you sir. I don't know what happened with it. I'll delete the new one I made so as not to duplicate the same track in the data base here.

Thank you for the offer @eran0004 but getting the URL correct on input was not a problem after the first err. Some how something was not taking from my end. Dunno what dunno why. :odd:
