Link with Routes Broke On Update

Wappler General
1

I hadn't updated my Wappler version for awhile, and updated my entire site yesterday. Yes, I do expect I'll need to make some changes. :melting_face:

PHP
Wappler 6.8.0

ISSUE #1
I'm using routing and for some reason the routes don't work anymore unless I click the "Internal" checkbox.
Perhaps that's how it's always supposed to have been but I didn't always use it, sometimes I wanted refresh.

Do I just need to go through my entire site and make sure all those are checked?

ISSUE #2 (BIGGER DEAL)

NAV LINKS don't route properly.
Other links do.

I have Nav Links that should take people to a new route. No problem.

And it is routed correctly on the main page, where the route is:

But the navlink doesn't work.
When I click it, instead of routing them to ../otherpages/ and properly loading it, it appears to link them to the /mainpages/ route folder.
I cannot figure out why.

Additionally, if I create a browser go to on a different link, it appears to work properly. /scratch head
This is what works and loads properly:

I updated the description on problem #2.

It appears to just be the NavLinks that don't route properly.
Any other kind of link I make routes properly.

The NavLinks always try to take my users to /mainpages/ instead of /otherpage/ for internal routing.

You're using a feature that people don't seem to be familiar with. Last time someone asked a question about this, it got 0 replies!

I'm not familiar with the PHP server target, so I don't know what this Routes thingy does, but I use NodeJS and never had to use such Route client-side component, we just use this:

I think checking the Internal checkbox is just masking a problem that needs to be fixed in first place.

It seems a tutorial was never written:

On very early App Connect 1 the internal attribute wasn't needed and we had the ./link urls, but in later App Connect updates these links where deprecated and the internal option is needed for intenal navigation.

Can you explain a bit more about the second issue?
Also make sure your links are set to site root relative and not document relative.

That makes sense about the internal option. Thanks.

The second issue.

I noticed that on my page with NavLinks the routing isn't working properly. It's likely something I'm doing wrong or misunderstanding.

Here's a little video that might help. Sorry, my mouse didn't show up but it should give you the idea.
