How to Mask URL in Smart forms

[former_member450736]

Hi,

i wanted to mask the URL in my smartform so that it is concise and readable, like suppose url is like this http://www.myurl.com/pages/abcd&attr=19093 i wanted to create text which is something like click here on clicking click here it should take me to the desired page which the above mentioned URL ( http://www.myurl.com/pages/abcd&attr=19093 ) actually navigates.

How can i achieve this Smart forms??

Please suggest

Hi Aidan,

Thanks for your answer, Just got an alternative solution, when i got XSF output from smartform function Module, the same XSF output (me->sf_job_output-xmloutput-trfresult-content) i used in below method to convert to string.

CALL METHOD cl_hrrcf_cs_sf=>convert_xsf_html_to_txtstring
        EXPORTING
          content     = me->sf_job_output-xmloutput-trfresult-content
        IMPORTING
          html_string = me->doc_properties-output_c
          html_tab    = me->doc_properties-output_c_tab.

later i realised that URLs in the smartform has got corresponding HTML code as below in the (me->doc_properties-output_c_tab).

<a href="https://www.google.com">
<span>
<a href="https://www.google.com" TARGET="test_blank">https://www.google.com</a>
</span>
</a>

when i changed the link in the debugger https://www.google.com which was inside

<span> </span>

to "Click Me", the output was as i expected in the E-Mail which showed me Click Me and when i click that it took me to google web site.

so i decided that i would change this table(me->doc_properties-output_c_tab.) for every URL in code, though it did not seem like right solution, as suggested in this forum there is no straight solution for this, i have no other option.

Please comment.

Thanks,

Kranthi.

See my reply to Aidan in that same post - it works for OTF to PDF as well. You must create the function with a CHANGING parameter called DATA, then modify the 'ST' line that is sent...

Hi,

In Smartform, under "General Attributes" of your text window, enter the text then select the icon "Insert Link" here you maintain the url.
