I am trying to create a Clone button that redirects to a URL and I am passing the following parameters, see below . All parameters are separated by the & symbol (ampersand special character). My problem is that one of the values I am passing contains a & symbol. Is there a way to tell Skuid to automatically URL Encode the values before passing to the URL string?
PumpType={{Pump_Type__c}}&CareArea={{Care_Area__c}}&OtherPumpType={{Other_Pump_Type__c}}&DateOfGoLive={{Date_of_Go_Live__c}}
Yes, there is a global merge function you can use called encodeUrl that will achieve this.
Assuming that “Care Area” is the parameter that can contain URL-unsafe characters, do this:
PumpType={{Pump_Type__c}}&CareArea={{#encodeUrl}}{{Care_Area__c}}{{/encodeUrl}}&OtherPumpType={{Other_Pump_Type__c}}&DateOfGoLive={{Date_of_Go_Live__c}}
For more info on these merge functions, see the API docs on Global Merge Variables / Functions.
Excellent! Thank you very much!
I believe you can surround your parameters with {{urlEncode}} to get that effect.Or you might have to do something like this: PumpType={{#urlEncode}}{{Pump_Type__c}}{{/urlEncode}}. I guess you can try both…
I was pretty close! Zach’s just really fast…
This site provides EXCELLENT support. Thanks to both of you.
Thanks Moshe, I should leave posts untouched for 30 minutes to give you a chance to answer first
