Changing the Follow the link below

soundgod1818

I am running Vanilla 2 embedded into my website. I have EMailSubscribe running. When an email is sent to a user the URL has
Follow the link below to check it out:
http://www.mysite.com/vanilla/discussion/comment/21119#Comment_21119

I would like to change the url to show
http://www.mysite.com/forum#/discussion/comment/21119#Comment_21119

I would like it if my users when they click on a URL in an email would go to the embedded version of Vanilla.

I had to change two files.
plugins/EMailSubscribe/default.php - Line 82

applications/dashboard/models/class.activitymodel.php - Line 693

$unchanged_message = sprintf(
T($Story == '' ? 'EmailNotification' : 'EmailStoryNotification'),
$ActivityHeadline,
Url('/discussion/'.$DiscussionID.'/'.Gdn_Format::Url($DiscussionName), TRUE),
$Story
);
$changed_message = str_replace('vanilla','forum#',$unchanged_message);
$Email->Message($changed_message);

There is a better way to do this in your config:

$Configuration['Garden']['ExternalUrlFormat'] = 'http://www.mysite.com#/%s';

Where's the config file?

/conf/config.php

Do I add that line to the file? I am not seeing that as an option? I am running Version 2.0.18.

Thanks sahotataran!

This only fixed the main link to the forum, however the confirmation link remained the same. Do you know of any fixes for that as well? Thanks

Hey soundgod1818,

I added it to the file and replaced the URL.

Hi,

I am also facing this same issue with embed version. I am using Vanilla Version 2.5.1 with jsconnect plugin. I added the following line to my config.php file to replace vanilla installation URL with Embed URL.

$Configuration['Garden']['ExternalUrlFormat'] = 'https://mysite.com/forum#/%s';

Whenever I use "ExternalUrlFormat" configuration, In "ConversationMessage" notification email action URL get encoded which leads to "Page Not found" upon link/button click.

e.g

https://mysite.com/forum#/messages/39#Message_195
converts to
https://mysite.com/forum#/messages/39%23Message_195

Thank you.
