Virtual hosts and other directory mangling techniques confused our url->object mapper. This should be now fixed.

OK, we've added a traceback that should be displayed when this error occurs, with the exception of removed courses, where the links should be displayed as inactive.

Hmm, someone else has found this bug too. So we'll need to investigate further.

[Request for more information]

Well, the link may be deactivated for two reasons (see WebtopLink.py, method "may_follow_link"):

1. The object that the link refers to does not exist or has moved to a different location.

2. The current user (the one viewing the webtop) is not a participant of the course.

Possible reasons:

1. The course may have been exported, deleted and imported, whereby the id changes. Internal links won't be able to follow this kind of change.

2. Possibly the user is no longer a participant of the course (check the course info page). If the user is a fle_admin, he still has access to all the courses even if he is not a participant.

Or then there's a bug somewhere, but I can't really see where it is. We can't reproduce this bug.

It is probably a link to object that does not exist anymore (somebody has deleted a course...).

Tarmo has added explanation text to "dead" links in the current version.
