Hi, This seems a very simple query, I Googled for it and checked the FAQs, but can't find an answer.

When a user submits a Membership Application on this Dog Club website, a confirmation message is displayed and emailed sent to the user entered email address:

www.easternsuburbsdogtraining.org.au/for...ation-for-membership

The confirmation email instructs the user to print out an attached PDF copy of the Membership Application and offers a link back to the Dog Club to display a list of registration dates:

"Please print out and sign the attached PDF copy of the form and bring it with you on your Registration Sunday - click here for a list of Adult Dog and Puppy Registration Dates and Times."

The PDF copy is working fine, but I cannot get the link to work using the JCE editor link function or entering it as straight HTML - the domain is stripped, so instead of www.easternsuburbsdogtraining.org.au/Training-Dates/

... it ends up as: http://training-dates/

... and this obviously doesn't resolve.

I have tried your suggested:

//<code>
$url = RSFormProHelper::getURL();
return $url;
//</code>

But that returns: www.easternsuburbsdogtraining.org.au/for...ation-for-membership

As I said, it seems like such a simple requirement, I can't believe it's so difficult to fix! Hopefully you can point me in the right direction.

Regards,
Robert

Have you tried inserting the URL without using the JCE editor? I simply pasted http://www.easternsuburbsdogtraining.org.au/Training-Dates in the PDF's layout and it works as intended.

Try and let me know

Hi, Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I don't want the URL in the PDF, I want it in the email, which has the PDF attached to it.

That said, I have tried 3 methods for including it in the email:

1) By selecting the Training-Dates page from the JCE editor's link icon/option
2) By entering the link via HTML in the editor as fully qualified "a href=" link
3) By pasting the full URL into the email message, eg: www.easternsuburbsdogtraining.org.au/Training-Dates/

In all cases, the domain part (www.easternsuburbsdogtraining.org.au/) is stripped from the link, leaving only the Training-Dates/ part which cannot be resolved.

I'm at a loss to know what's going on.

Bing! I've got an acceptable workaround. I created a hidden field called trainingdatesURL, with the default value: www.easternsuburbsdogtraining.org.au/Training-Dates/

I then added the following field to the email: {trainingdatesURL:value}

This then displays the full URL as a clickable link in the email. While I would have preferred a more meaningful "Click here for training dates" link, I can live with this workaround.

I hope it helps anyone else with a similar problem.

Regards,
Robert

Unfortunately, this seems to still be a problem 3 years later, but only if the domain pointed to is the same as the one where the form is hosted.

The work-around that I found is to edit the email text in code view (using JCE Editor), and Save and Close while still in code view. When switching back to WYSIWYG view, the domain is stripped.

Another year, several updates provided and no fix? Anyone at RS Joomla! care to comment?

That's because there's nothing to fix from RSForm! Pro - your editor (JCE) is stripping the URL. See here:

Basically you need to set "Relative URLs" to "No" in your editor to prevent this from happening.
