Fixed External URL Resource Button shows text "Download"

[Tommi Gustafsson]

Affected version

2.0.4

Hi!

I have XenForo Resource Manager 2.0.4 and it has a bug.
The button to access an External URL resource shows the text "Download". It should be something else, like Visit Page, Go to External URL, or whatever you think best.

I tried to look at the template code (xfrm_resource_wrapper_macros) and the database, but I ran into problems.
In the database, xf_rm_resource.resource_type is 'download' for my external URL resource.
xf_rm_resource.external_url is empty. Where is the external URL stored?
However, despite of these anomalies the resource actually works on the site and it redirects to the right site and page.

Could you please fix this problem for the next patch?

Best regards,
Tommi

Also, if you try to change the type of the external URL resource, the external URL shows up empty.

We've made some changes here in RM 2.1. We now display a "Go to download" button, as demonstrated here:
