Helpful Tips During AASP Platform Changeover

  • 1.  Helpful Tips During AASP Platform Changeover

    Posted 02-06-2023 01:35 PM
    Hello all,

    Since the Feb 2 announcement of the AASP switchover to SBI Association Management, (and the inherent platform changes) I've had a devil of a time getting my account(s) straightened out. I thought I'd post some tips that may be helpful for those in the same boat.

    If you use a password manager for your online accounts (and you should), it typically operates by filling in your credentials based upon the domain name you're visiting. After you've created a new password for the main AASP website, set that entry in your password manager to be recognized when visiting the following four domains:
    Additionally, if you visit the AASP Connect archives to search for previously-posted content in any of the mailing lists, you'll find that your search terms will yield results, however clicking on said results will provide a broken link to the archived discussion thread, e.g., can't open the page "https://connect.advserv.org/communities/[...]"

    To fix this error (and assuming it's temporary until all platforms are completely switched over and domain redirects are in place), simply change the domain of the archive's discussion thread URL from https://connect.advserv.org to https://aasp.connectedcommunity.org instead. Voila, the archive will correctly display.

    Thank you so much for posting this, it was driving me crazy today that I couldn't open any archived content, and then I thought to check if anyone had posted about it!

    Anything that I search, when I then try to click on the results, it doesn't work. Seems like some other folks are having the same issue.

    Right-click on one of your results and copy that link, and email it to this thread.

    Unfortunately, I am still having issues with the results.  I completed the double login and it appears I'm in the right place, however the result links won't work. They appear to go here connect.advserv.org.  I saw your previous email to change the domain to https://aasp.connectedcommunity.org on the result and when I do that, it will work, but that gets tiresome when reviewing several results.  Is this still just a growing pain and the links will work eventually?

     

     

    Thank you,

    I followed your link, Matthew, and then used the search bar, picked a subject, clicked a link, and got the message below.  this is the url when i get my results: Inline image
    this is the URL i get when i choose something  Inline image

    looks like a redirect to connect.advserv.org, rather than staying in aasp.connectedcommunity.org.

    Correct.

    To clarify, I'm a community member, just like all of you. I'm not part of the leadership or management of the organization. I'm just sharing what I personally discovered as a tip for navigating this until it (hopefully) is fixed.

    I speculate that when the platform changeover took place, the content was all migrated to a new domain name (asap.connectedcommunity.org), but the structure and metadata of the archived posts is such that those articles' URLs still link to connect.advserv.org. Any time you encounter a broken link that is referring to connect.advserv.org, as a workaround, you will need to click in the address bar of your browser and replace connect.advserv.org with asap.connectedcommunity.org.

    Ultimately, the AASP admins will need to either (1) have a domain redirect put into place so that traffic visiting the old domain is redirected to the new one, or (2) programmatically scan the archived content and metadata and replace the old domain with the new one.

    Shoot, I wasn't able to get your solution to work, Matt.  When I clicked on a link to get to an archived post, and then replaced the beginning URL, I got a 404 Page Not Found error.  I tried it with a few of the links and got the same result.  Is there something else I'm doing wrong?

    I think my post had auto-correct enabled. It's aasp.connectedcommunity.org, not ASAP.
