Hi we are using Robo Help product. we launched it on Apache Tomcat server.

When we publish a project in an area and try to view that, the URL in the address bar is displayed very long with % characters and other junk.

can anyone please let me know how to customize the URL? a user friendly URL in place of the long URL. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You can try customizing the URL using the following pattern

http://<SERVERNAME>:<PORT>/robohelp/robo/server/<AREANAME>/projects/<PROJECTNAME>/<PROJECTNAME>.htm

Hi Tulika Thank you for the reply. I understand what you told. Actually it is the user who wants the small URL in the address bar. they dont want to see such a long URL in the address bar. Hopefully you understood my problem now. Is there way to avoid appending the % symbols in the URL and put a customized URL? Please let me know.


Wonder if the user has complained to Google about their links?
