Variable for external website

Feb 12, 2016

In our medical learning modules we call up an external website (wiki with glossary) to be shown in a lightbox. For this we use a webobject on a hidden page. I am interested whether there is some experience about the primary string of the external address. Can there be a variable used that forms the beginning of the string, so in case of changing the address of the wiki, we do not have to change all the addresses on all the hidden webobjects pages ...

Would make it all easier and save a lot of work ...

Thanks for your help!

Hi Tom!

I'm not sure that I'm following your question, but it sounds like you may be referring to a relative URL, which we do not support. I invite you to check out this thread.

Hopefully someone in the community will be able to support you.

Thanks, Leslie,

sounds like a tad difficult. I thought of a clean method, which seemingly is not possible :-(

I very much appreciate your answer, though.

All the best,

Tom
