Another problem with this.

I thought so...

I had played around with ##AGNUID## and noticed it didn't do anything. I just checked and I'm correct. It doesn't substitute anything. Here's my URL:

<a href=http://somehost.somedomain.com:8080/for ... D##">click here to unsubscribe</a>

The link that get substituted in the email is:

http://somehost.somedomain.com:8080/for ... D=##AGNUID##

notice the ##AGNUID## didn't get substituted.

I submitted that as a bug. The dev team can either quash the bug or quash the bug report if it's operator error.

The link looks ok. Do other (normal) web links get encoded? If not, redirect service is not working - probably a problem of the installation? Try port 80 instead of 8080.

shouldn't the link look something like:

http://somehost.somedomain.com:8080/for ... v8lhg7eabc

instead of:

http://somehost.somedomain.com:8080/for ... D=##AGNUID##

?

no, rather like this:

http://somehost.somedomain.com:8080/?ru ... v8lhg7eabc

Just subscribe to the OpenEMM newsletter and unsubscribe to check it out.

I think we're in violent agreement.

My URL gets generated with "##AGNUID##" in it.

It should have "1.4.1.0.hv8lhg7eabc" in it.

There's a bug in your software.

Since ##AGNUID## works fine in our installations and before we invest significant time to find out what is wrong: Is there anybody else out there who has the same problem?

I think I'm uninistalling and going back to 5.0.0. Between this and forms not working 5.0.1 is a nonstarter. You guys can argue this one out on your own--I'm out of breath.

Same problem here,

my urls are like to one from flyboy, e.g.

http://somehost.somedomain.com:8080/for ... D=##AGNUID##


I can confirm it in version 5.0.0, hadn't time to check it on 5.0.1. I'm running on debian 3.1

@minichip: Indeed, the problem existed with 5.0.0 (as part of the double opt-in bug) but was removed for 5.0.1. Could you please check if your problem still exists with 5.0.1?

Thanks!

HI,

I can not confirm the error with version 5.0.1 of OpenEMM. I did a fresh install of OpenEMM and it worked for me, the url ist translated into a trackable link.


@flyboy

I had problems with the right URL in the html-window of the mailings since fckeditor was trying to sanitise the "&" . Check if the url in your a href statement is like this

http://your.domain.name:port/form.do?agnCI=1&agnFN=ShowProfile&agnUID=##AGNUID##

everytime I save the html fckeditor made something like this out of it

http://your.domain.name:port/form.do?agnCI=1&agnFN=ShowProfile&agnUID=##AGNUID

best regards

We can confirm minichip´s problem with fckeditor. Bug is now included in bug tracker #1552375. Workaround is simple.

HERE'S THE BUG (AND AN ODDITY) with the ##AGNUID## tag...

I found the bug and an oddity with ##AGNUID##.

BUG:

##AGNUID## is not interpreted in the message “Previewâ€

Using OpenEMM 5.0.2 I found that ##AGNUID## is only substituted if it is inside a trackable link.
It took me some time to find out that [agnUID] is always substituted. So to send links per email which:
- are not trackable
- need the UID
simply build them like this one:

Actually, this is a "new" feature I was not aware of - thank you for posting!
