"Other Act conferences" links sometimes 404

[leejo]

Witness: http://act.perl-workshop.ch/spw2017/user/11869 - the link to the Alpine Perl Workshop 2016 is missing / between the conference name and user/ so results in a 404. Compare: http://act.perl-workshop.ch/spw2017/user/10652 - only the Alpine Perl Workshop 2016 is affected here so must be an issue with the URL as entered for that conference.

Fix needs to happen in https://github.com/book/Act/blob/master/templates/core/user/show#L199

I would look at this but need to build myself an Act VM to work with - do you have anything to automate that or is this a case of "well volunteered"?

You may probably get away with it by adding the 'trailing-slash' to the full_uri in alpineperl2016/actdocs/conf/act.ini - but you are right, it would also be nice that templates would be less prone to such mistakes.

I would discourage to build an Act VM, a new Act-out-of-the-Box is on it's way!

• which will give you a checkout of the desired GitHub repository
• which will allow you to play with all the actdocs and wwwdocs
• which will allow you to test, and make more changes
• before pushing a commit to GitHub origin/master for testing and later production

I was going to build a VM using vagrant, and at BooK's suggestion document the process. I was mainly interested in doing this to see the stack although TBH I'm more interested in the schema.
