Replace mobile links for full site

Votes:

0

Hi

What is the best way to update the HTML message for notifications to not to link to the mobile web site? We dont use the mobile site, but yet every alert that comes out has the pause and acknowledge links going to the mobile site.

I have tried editing the html to remove the /m/ in the target URL but yet it still when you click on the alert it takes you through to the mobile site.

Thanks

Hello,

thank you very much for your KB-Post. May I ask, what exactly did you try editing? Changing the notification under "Setup"->"Account Settings"->"Notifications" should help. Please try leaving %homem in the notification template, but remove the /m in the links, to have the redirect work.

<a href="%homem/scannow.htm?id=%sensorid&amp;action=0&amp;targeturl=/sensor.htm?id=%sensorid">Check Now</a><br>
<a href="%homem/acknowledgealarm.htm?id=%sensorid&amp;ackmsg=Acknowledged+via+email&amp;targeturl=/sensor.htm?id=%sensorid">Acknowledge Alarm...</a><br>
<a href="%homem/pause.htm?id=%sensorid&amp;action=0&amp;targeturl=/sensor.htm?id=%sensorid">Pause</a><br>
<a href="%homem/pauseobjectfor.htm?id=%sensorid&amp;duration=5&amp;targeturl=/sensor.htm?id=%sensorid">Pause for 5 minutes</a><br>
<a href="%homem/pauseobjectfor.htm?id=%sensorid&amp;duration=60&amp;targeturl=/sensor.htm?id=%sensorid">Pause for 60 minutes</a><br>
<a href="%homem/pauseobjectfor.htm?id=%sensorid&amp;duration=1440&amp;targeturl=/sensor.htm?id=%sensorid">Pause for 24 hours</a><br>
<a href="%homem/pause.htm?id=%sensorid&amp;action=1&amp;targeturl=/sensor.htm?id=%sensorid">Resume</a>

best regards.

I have tried that again (see example below) but now it takes me to the full web site but the public login page, so when i type in my credentials and click OK it just goes to the page cannot be found page because the link goes to /public/checklogin.htm page

<a href="%homem/scannow.htm?id=%sensorid&amp;action=0&amp;targeturl=/sensor.htm?id=%sensorid">Check Now</a><br>

<a href="%home/scannow.htm?id=%sensorid&amp;action=0&amp;targeturl=/sensor.htm?id=%sensorid">Check Now</a><br>

I apologize, my previous answers were incorrect (thus I removed / corrected them). Please try leaving %homem in the notification template, but remove the /m in the links, to have the redirect work.

<a href="%homem/scannow.htm?id=%sensorid&amp;action=0&amp;targeturl=/sensor.htm?id=%sensorid">Check Now</a><br>
<a href="%homem/acknowledgealarm.htm?id=%sensorid&amp;ackmsg=Acknowledged+via+email&amp;targeturl=/sensor.htm?id=%sensorid">Acknowledge Alarm...</a><br>
<a href="%homem/pause.htm?id=%sensorid&amp;action=0&amp;targeturl=/sensor.htm?id=%sensorid">Pause</a><br>
<a href="%homem/pauseobjectfor.htm?id=%sensorid&amp;duration=5&amp;targeturl=/sensor.htm?id=%sensorid">Pause for 5 minutes</a><br>
<a href="%homem/pauseobjectfor.htm?id=%sensorid&amp;duration=60&amp;targeturl=/sensor.htm?id=%sensorid">Pause for 60 minutes</a><br>
<a href="%homem/pauseobjectfor.htm?id=%sensorid&amp;duration=1440&amp;targeturl=/sensor.htm?id=%sensorid">Pause for 24 hours</a><br>
<a href="%homem/pause.htm?id=%sensorid&amp;action=1&amp;targeturl=/sensor.htm?id=%sensorid">Resume</a>

It works fine here. Maybe start of again with the default template. Then have a proper notification caused (not use the "Test" on notification, use the "Simulate Error-Status"-Function), and then "play" with the URLs / Links from the notification, to see what to remove.

i had played around with it and even reset it back to the default template and then started again before posting on here, but i guess i will have to go back to the drawing board....

I too have removed the /m from URL's and the notifications still show the fqdn/m/url.

To fix the link I click on I just hard coded the URL for now.

Bit of a delay in getting back on this but Torsten's suggestion of removing the /m didn't work, so I too have had to hard code the server address in two sections for every link.

So wherever it had homem/ or /m I have now replaced with https://SERVERNAME/ and that seems to have done the trick
