When we add a hyperlink to an external site CMS is changing the URL and
adding "Templates" in.  Is there anyway of stopping this.  We have a
short term solution that you must enter in HTML

We are trying to link to:
http://c3:82/cgi-bin/om_isapi.dll?c...ct&softpage=doc

but CMS changes it to:

http://c3/Templates/:82/cgi-bin/om_...ct&softpage=doc

We have a short term solution that you must enter in HTML as follows:

<A onclick="new Window=openWindow('http://C3:82/...', ...)"
href="#">Open this link</A>

Regards,
Kele.

I contacted Microsoft and they indicated that hotfix 838917 indicates
that it is "Not to be used for CMS02 SP1a".

Not sure why or what the consequence would be if you tried it.

Cheers,
Kele.

Hi Kele,

I just double checked: this fix exists for SP1 and for SP1a.
So the statement below is wrong.

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

They found the right hotfix and I implemented it.

However what I did notice as our site has a DNS setting if it receives
c3 or C3 it nows which server to go to.  And our website is called C3.

So therefore the usual URL is http://c3/C3/...

When I enter a url to an external site such as:

http://c3:82/.....

I get the HTTP 404 Error and the URL displayed is:

http://c3/C3/Templates/:82/.....

HOWEVER

if I enter the external site with an uppercase C like:

http://C3:82/....

The I get the correct page that I wanted to link to.

Any ideas!

Hi Kele,

yes: you should open a support case to get this analyzed.
That sounds like a bug.

Cheers,
Stefan.
