Question
Property in href of correspondance?
Hi.
I'm trying to create a correspondance that could let my user click on a link with a href contained in a property. Sadly, when the mail is sent, the href disappears and the text returns to a normal text instead of a link.
I tried the following:
- <a href="name={.Property}">SomeText</a>
- <a href="<pega:reference name=".Property"></pega:reference>">SomeText</a>
But it's sadly not working. How can I achieve that? Thanks in advance.

Sadly the solution using javascript is not working. The link still vanish, but the text remain. I precise that the property contains the link used in the href, not the text displayed.
Hi Thomas,

It doesn't work... the link and the text aren't displayed when I receive my correspondance through mail.
Accepted Solution
I fixed the problem using the following syntax:
<a href="<pega:reference format="pxLink" name=".Property"></pega:reference>">Some Text</a>
The correspondance is now working when sent by mail, but for some reasons is still broken when seen from the application or in preview.
Hi Thomas,
What does the link contain? Are you trying to access anything inside Pega through that link? Or it is just a link to a website? If it is just a website, you can use the following,
<a href="http://google.com">Hi</a>
If a property value is being displayed as a hyperlink, then try the following:
<a href="http://Google.com"><pega:reference name=".pyNote"></pega:reference></a>
As in your case, where you have the value of the property as the URL, you need to send the value dynamically. This can be achieved with the help of scripts.
<html>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var scrt_var = "<pega:reference name=".pyNote" mode="javascript" / >";
openPage = function() {
location.href = scrt_var;
}
</script>
this is a <a href="javascript:openPage()">Link </a>
</html>
Here, the value of the property "pyNote" will be sent dynamically to the href tag inside html. You can paste this code in the "source" section of the correspondance and alter the property referred.
Thanks,
