976195 - Old Thimble pages are no longer editable

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webmaker Graveyard :: Thimble, defect)

Description

[julia]

Problem: The thimble pages below were created less than a year ago. They are no longer remixable (they do not have a remix button nor does adding /edit at the end of the URL work).

Question: Is it possible to make these thimble pages remixable again?

this is not a security bug, so if anyone can unmark it as such that would be great.

this restores the ability for thimble to remix old /p/ projects by checking whether the id is new style or old style, and loading from old URL if it's an old style project id.

this fix -when landed- will allow old pages to be remixable again by adding /remix to the end of the URL.

Thanks Mike. Is the fix in place yet? I tried adding /remix to the end of https://thimble.webmaker.org/p/lvw3/ and it defaults to a blank thimble page.

it is not, it's currently in review. It needs to be okayed before we land it, then we build it to our staging server to make sure it really does what it's supposed to (at which point the ticket gets marked as "resolved"), then we push that change out to the thimble.webmaker.org website.

this does not appear to work on staging. more investigation is required.

one investigation later, and a server configuration adventure later, staging is looking at the correct database, and this patch actually works fine. It's landed in the thimble master branch, and once a new version of thimble gets pushed to production, /remix routes will work again. The current thimble version is 1.0.23, so when that's no longer the case, you should be able to remix again (see https://thimble.webmaker.org/healthcheck for the operational version. We should have a new version pushed out sometime today or tomorrow)
