ContentLink generates the link appended with the language

Hi,

We have recently migrated from Vignette 8.0 to 8.5, and facing an issue in generating contenLinks

Using <templating:contentLink oid ='${oid}' format ='default'/>, gives us a url like this

<a class="clue" rel="#6f827e1e7f24c210VgnVCM10000038a63795____" href="/sites/<site-name>/default/en_US/solutions/markets/energy,en" title="">Energy</a>

This is causing the url to break and therefore the link becomes non functional, I can handle that my code, but I feel this is some configuration I need to change.

Any help would really be appreciated !!!

Hi Neha,

You can configure whether you need language included in the url or not. You can verify URL schema instance of your site from site properties. You can create new URL schema with no language in the URL and associate to your site that would resolve your issue.

Thanks & Regards,

The issue in our case was that CTD had the language attribute checked as the "default label", which made the CI's appear along with their language attribute

I unchecked the "Default Label" property for the language attribute from the CTD, to get rid of the language paramter appending in the URL (after the comma).

Now I want to sync all the CI's ; exporting the CTD and importing it again in the Target server will solve it ?

"Now coming to your answer Srinivas, I tried to uncheck the language parameter and format from the URL scheme, but now my URL to the application (<server name>:port/sites/Site_name), is not resolved by the sites.war and asks me to check the URL. Any thoughts on how to handle this? Do i have to set anything in the sites.war to handle this?

Thanks for your help!!!

Hi Neha, if you have removed locale and format from the URL, then you have to follow below procedure to make urls work.

Excluding format and/or locale from Friendly URL

Format can be included or excluded from the generated Friendly URL through the

settingInclude Format Namein the URL Scheme instance that is associated to the

site. If the format is excluded from the Friendly URL then the web server has to be

configured to pass format on the headerx-vgn-wem-format.

Locale can be included or excluded from the generated Friendly URL through the

settingInclude Locale Namein the URL Scheme instance that is associated to the

site. If the locale is excluded from the Friendly URL then the web server has to be

configured to pass locale on the headerx-vgn-wem-locale.

To configure Apache Web Server for setting the headers:

1. Navigate to the following directory:

<apacheinstalldir>/conf

2. Open thehttpd.conffile in a text editor.

3. Add the following lines to the end of the file (if they are not already there):

LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so

which loads themod_headersmodule.

4. Add one or both of the following lines at the end of the httpd.conf file or within

the appropriate virtual host entry:

RequestHeader set x-vgn-wem-format<format>

RequestHeader set x-vgn-wem-locale<locale>

5. Save thehttpd.conffile and restart the Apache server.

Hi,

I made changes to the CTD and was able to get rid of the "language" from the contentLink, but now all the CI's need to be updated/synced to take that effect.

As you see below, If I Update the CI, the contentLInk rightly renders me the CI, but for the remaining the link throws me 404, as they still have "language " appended.

Using synchronization option did not update these CI's as the change I made in the CTD was not structural.

Is there any other option here other than reimporting the CI's to achieve the update ?

Thanks alot for your help Srinivasan !

Regards,

Neha
