Circle Diagram - Hyperlink problem

Sep 11, 2014

By Charlie McGowan

Hey there,

I'm currently building an interaction using the Circle Diagram in Engage.

I want to place hyperlinks in the text. My problem is that when the content is publish, and I click on a link, it will only paste the first 128 characters of the link into the browser, which causes the link to fail. When I press the green 'test' button when I'm inserting the link it works fine.

If I use a short link (e.g. http://google.com ) it works fine.

Anyone have any ideas on this? My links are unavoidable long.

Thanks

Charlie

What is you just shorten the hyperlink with something like tinyURL.com

Thanks Linda. I'm linking to internal documents that are housed on a SharePoint site, so I don't think I'll be able to use a service like tinyURL.com

Charlie,

Did you ever find a solution to your long link problem?

For future reference you could put shorter links in your Engage interaction which in turn simply forward to the proper page with its long URL.
