Hi Guys,
I hope you can help me with a problem we are having at the moment.
Environment:
We are using Nintex Workflow 2007 (Build 11101) on our WSS 3.0/MOSS 2007 Farm.
In our MOSS Farm we have changed from HTTP URLs to HTTPS URLs with new domain names.
This was done by extending the Web Application with ssl and giving it a new Host name. So the old URL is still in place but we want to turn it off in the future...
Problem:
Our problem is that in the Approval Emails which are being sent by Nintex all the hyper link point to the wrong(old) URLs.
Our message templates which are defined under "Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Nintex Workflow (Message Templates)" look about like this, for Approval Emails:
The following item requires your approval:
HyperLinkOfItem.
Click HyperLinkToApprovalPage to approve or reject
Click HyperLinkToApprovalPage to to view the workflow status
------
The Hyper links which are marked in Italic form, all point to the task list but with the old URL. So if a user pushes the link he is directed to the old URL.
In HTML form it looks like this:
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The following item requires your approval:</FONT></P>
<P><property style='COLOR: blue; TEXT-DECORATION: underline' title=Hyperlink contentEditable=false refText='%7BCommon%3AItemDisplayName%7D' refLink='{Common:ItemUrl}' link='true'><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Item Display Name</FONT></property></P>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Click <property style='COLOR: blue; TEXT-DECORATION: underline' title=Hyperlink contentEditable=false refText='HyperLinkToApprovalPage " refLink="{Common:ApprovalUrl}" link="true">here</property> to approve or reject<BR>Click <property style='COLOR: blue; TEXT-DECORATION: underline' title=Hyperlink contentEditable=false refText='HyperLinkToApprovalPage " refLink="{Common:WorkflowStatusUrl}" link="true">here</property> to view the workflow status</FONT></P>
So for example:
At the moment, the hyperlink would point to: http://abc/Lists/Workflow%20Tasks/EditForm.aspx?ID=3
Our goal is so the hyper link points to: https://xyz/Lists/Workflow%20Tasks/EditForm.aspx?ID=3
Problem here is that the referenced variable "{Common:ApprovalUrl}" has of course not always the same value. So we can't just use a normal hyper link.
The variable "ApprovalUrl" always contains the old URL http://abc, no matter from which URL I add the hyper link with the variable. The hyper link cannot be changed directly inside the "Message Template" configuration.
We just want to change the protocol http -> https and the domain name.
Our Goal:
1) Hyper links in the Nintex Workflow created Emails all point to the correct URL (https://xyz).
2) If possible by just changing the URL in few places all the already extisting approval task hyper links are changed to the new URL.
2.1) If necessary we would re-create all the "Required Approval" functions in all our Workflows with the new created message templates.
So if you have any idea how we could change this hyper link URL, I would be more than happy for any suggestions.
Best Regards
Thomas
