Hi Joop,

 

To obtain the URL of the server you can use GetURL(), but this will only work if you're making a request to the application, since GetURL action is based on the HTTPRequestHandler. If that is the case - say, you send the email on the click of a button - then don't forget to parse the server from what GetURL() returns.

 

On the other hand, as is the case of the daily digest which is usually initiated by a timer, the URL returned by the HTTP request will always be 127.0.0.1. You have 2 workarounds:

• Simply create a site property that holds the server name and append it to your email address;

• If this is an internal application, and all your users are able to access the machine's network name (example: devserver01) then create a new extension that returns the .NET Framework System.Environment.MachineName property and you'll get the server name.

Hope that helps,

Pedro

Hi Joop,

 

In version 4.x, the best way specify the domainname (to pass to richmail, I assume) is to place it in a Site Property and define it once for your application. It is how we handle it for the network forum email notifications.

@Pedro:

GetURL() doesn't return the domain like https://<server>/<eSpaceName>. It only returns the eSpacename of the application without server/domain name. So we'll end up in using a site property.

Thanks.

Hi Joop,

 

Are you sure you were using GetURL action from HTTPRequestHandler? Maybe it's another version.

Here's a sample eSpace that returns the output from a button submit and from a timer - check out the differences.

 

Cheers,

Pedro,

We need to also have this available from a timer ... we solved this by a site property :-)
Thanks
Joop
