Hi there,


I am experiencing issue of sending email in html format in K2 E-mail event.


(I cannot make pasting screenshot work in the post. I have to describe it below.)


 Basically, I want to hide the url from user and  the email recepient clicks the Here link in the email.


This is what I did in E-Email event Message Body, I select "HTML", then write:


<a href ="http://mysite/forms/hr/leaveform/(I select ListItemRelavtiveURL from xml fields, and it is green highlighted )&ampOpenIn=Browser>here</a>


 But in the received email, the url link won't work. When I check the source code, I found it is like:


<a href="http://http:/mysite/forms/HR/Leave/%3c/span%3e%3cspan%20style='font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;font-weight:Normal;font-style:Normal;font-stretch:Normal;color:#000000;text-align:Left;text-decoration:None;line-height:1'&gt;/forms/HR/Leave&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style='font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;font-weight:Normal;font-style:Normal;font-stretch:Normal;color:#000000;text-align:Left;text-decoration:None;line-height:1' id='r")&ampOpenIn=Browser>here</a>


 It seems K2 email event put the metadata of formatted data field (green highlighted text) in the email instead of the text.


How can I handle this? I am using K2 4.5.3.


 


If I use text format, it does not have such issue.


 


thanks,


David

Try using the Hyperlink inline function to format URLs properly (found in the Text category). This will return the formatted text as a proper anchor tag without the additional formatting.

Just tried Hyperlink inline function. My goodness, Hyperlink function itsself is with additional formatting.


 


href="http://mysite/forms/HR/Leave/_layouts/K2/RuntimeServices/OpenInfoPathTask.aspx?K2Server=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style='font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;font-weight:Normal;font-style:Normal;font-stretch:Normal;color:#000000;text-align:Left;text-decoration:None;line-height:1.5'&gt;&lt;a href=" TORK2WFQ1:5252?="">K2Server</a>

Hi Srikanth.ch,
How to get to codelevel? I cannot find it in K2 studio or K2 Designer for VS2005.

thanks,
David

Make sure that you use an expression for the URL parameter of the Inline Function. I have just tested this using 4.6 (but I have used this in 4.5 too) and it works as expected. My expression looks like the following:


 [Forms URL] & "/Form/New+Vendor+Form/?ID=" &  [ProcInstID] 


where items in brackets are variables dragged in from the Object Browser.

I recently ran into a similar issue and I have blogged the solution I have come up with.

Hopefully this is helpful to others.
