Certified Developer 13	matt-pixelbuilders - 2/11/2013 11:40:32 AM {%link%} macro Hi guys, Currently working on an email template (Forums.NewPost). Wonder if you could help with this {%link%} macro - could anyone tell me where the property for the domain exists? On output it currently doesn't contain www. The site domain name does contain www. Thanks


Kentico Support	kentico_janh - 2/12/2013 1:30:20 AM RE:{%link%} macro Hello, This macro is hardcoded in DLL files, so there is no way for you how to add there the www prefix/subdomain to its output. However you can implement a custom macro which would return appropriate link instead: Appendix A - Macro expressions Best regards, Jan Hermann

RE:{%link%} macro

Thanks Jan,

I wonder if you could help in getting the post within the macro?

I'm currently trying:


CMSForum_ForumPost post = sender.SourceObject as CMSForum_ForumPost;
postUrl = ForumFunctions.GetPostURL(post.PostID, post.ForumID);

However post is coming out as null, how would I access the post property within the macro in order to use it?

Thanks


Kentico Support	kentico_janh - 2/19/2013 5:07:46 AM RE:{%link%} macro Hello, Have you tried to debug that code? Do post.PostID and post.ForumID variables really contain IDs? Best regards, Jan Hermann


Certified Developer 13	matt-pixelbuilders - 2/20/2013 4:07:13 AM RE:{%link%} macro Hi, managed to get it out via a bit of a dirty method: string postUrl = sender.SourceParameters[2,1].ToString(); The SourceObject was coming out as null previously. Thanks for your help
