You say your system in running 2.8.1. But does it have any plug-ins installed which contain a modified _digital.html.erb template based on an older release? A question mark is added by web browsers when submitting a HTML form with no input fields. And that is exactly what the non-thumbnail digital object button was until the 2.3.0 release, when this change was made:

Hi all,

We just discovered something unexpected when creating Digital Object Instances, which is that when a DO Instance is constructed /without/ a thumbnail URL--i.e. the DO Instance just has a single file version and it’s the link to the actual thing—ArchivesSpace adds a “?” to the end of that URL when a user clicks on it in the public interface. For instance, if the File URI is “http://www.cnn.com”, then clicking this link in the PUI will take you to “http://www.cnn.com/?” .

The CNN website still works with that question mark, but when we use an ARK to link to a record in our digital repository,
https://n2t.net/ark:/81985/n2dr2rt09”

becomes

“https://n2t.net/ark:/81985/n2dr2rt09?”

…which is an entirely separate page.

Is this a bug, or is this supposed to be happening? If it’s a bug I can submit a ticket. We’re on version 2.8.1.

Thanks,

--Benn
