How do I set up a vanity URL?

Hi all,
Please forgive me if this is an obvious question but I'm a newbie to BC.
I have a new site set up on BC and need to set up a vanity URL. i.e. we need to put on printed material www.websitename.com/events
Does anyone know where I can set this up in BC to direct to a particular page?
Many thanks,
Tom

How do i set referer in an URL?

Is it possible to set the header referer in an http style URL?

A referrer URL is placed by the browser (or other http client) into the HTTP rquest. It is part of the HTTP header. The Referrer request header is designed by with the string "Referrer: " and is read by the server in the same manner as the other header data in the HTTPS request.
There is another format for referrer information that goes into the URL as a parameter. This could take any form you wish, as long as the server being passed that URL param understands it. If you have a custom server or a JSP (or PHP, etc.), the referrer passed in as part of the URL will be read in the same manner any other parameter is read from the URL.
For example:http://pelosi.communists.gov/?ref=feinsteinHere we have added a "ref" parameter to the URL and the value is "feinstein". This might suggest to the server (which has to be smart enough) that the page that refer the browser to pelosi.communists.gov was feinstein.communists.gov. In this case the default page (e.g. index.html) would actually be a JSP or some custom server code or logging facility.

How could I set the proxy settings for just some URLs and not for all?

Hello,
I am using HttpURLConnection to establish a HTTP connection . The connection pass through a proxy, and it requires security.
I know that I can set the proxy settings in the system properties, and this works perfect.
But I don't want to set the proxy settings in the system properties, because this proxy settings will be for ALL the URLs, and I just want for a few URLs.
How could I set the proxy settings for just some URLs and not for all?
Thanks

How to set the "Podcast Website" URL?

I am referring to the link that appears in the bottom left corner of itunes:
It currently links to our beta website, which is still under construction, but I want it to link to our live website. In a month or so, we'll be ready to link to the new site, but not yet!
Here's the podcast link for reference: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/dharma-ocean/id587166784?mt=2
Any ideas on how I can set this link? Thanks in advance!

Please always post the feed URL when you have a question as well as the iTunes Store URL. For reference, your feed is at
http://feeds.feedburner.com/dharmaocean
The website link is carried in the 'link' tag. You have created your feed in WordPress and Blubrry PowerPress and one or other must provide a field where you can enter the URL: it's there that you will need to change it.

Hep with additional domains and vanity URLs

hi. 2 questions please:
1) i would like to host a friend's website, using my server space with my web host. he would purchase a completely separate URL, and i would want all those pages to be completely its own website, unrelated to mine but using the same FTP space. is this possible, and if so, can you please advise how i would set up my files on my ftp and/or through dreamweaver?
2) i have a vanity URL which i've set up to redirect to my website. the issue i'm having is that only the home page retains the vanity URL; all the other pages in the site go back to the real website name (realname.com/ads.html vs. vanity.com/ads.html). i'd like it to retain the vanity URL throughout--is this possible?
thanks!

I think you need to talk to your website host administrator.

In Pages 5, Maverick, How do I stop automatic conversation of URLs to hyperlinks and seeing them underlined

There used to be a preference setting in Pages. Now it seems gone in Pages 5. So how do I stop automatic conversation of URLs to hyperlinks and seeing them underlined in text. Sometimes I want it, but not always.

The preference setting to turn off links is gone. When you enter content that triggers link detection, a link character style gets applied. Right-click on the link, choose Edit Link from the menu, and then Remove.
To prevent Pages from automatically detecting links, visit Edit > Substitutions > and deselect Smart Links.

How do I set the default welcome page for PUBLIC user

gurus,
i'm using -
Oracle 9i Database
Oracle 9ias Portal Release 2
QUESTION => how do I set the default welcome page for the PUBLIC user.
i did the following to achieve this -
1. logged into portal
2. clicked on builder
3. clicked on administer tab
4. selected PUBLIC user in the Portal User Profile portlet
5. went to the preferences tab
6. in the default home page selected a custom page group
7. logged out of portal
8. open a new browsere session
9. type the portal URL and i get the login page ....??
i'm unable to understand this behavior ... shouldn't i be getting the page group that i set for the PUBLIC user in step 6 above ....
the second QUESTION is => when the user logs out he/she should see the PUBLIC page set in step 6 above ... but, instead the user sees a page that is as follows -
Partner Application Name Logout Status [Logout Status]
Oracle Portal (portal) logout status
The SSO Server (orasso) checkmark
buzz.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
infrastructure.happy.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal1.buzz.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal2.sylvester.resva.trw.com checkmark
sylvester.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
so, how can i set the default page for the PUBLIC user and also a page when he user logs out.
ideas anyone ....?
thanx a bunch.
hero

Hi,
The sequence of operation you are doing to set the home page for public users is correct. You are getting the login screen as the "custom page group" selected as "home page" has not been granted to public.
Also, while logging-out, it is normal behaviour to get the screen where it shows the list of partner applications from where user has been logged-out. When you click on "Return" button, you will get to the "home page" set above.
Hope it clarifies the things.
Regards,
Ved

How can I set #HOST# variable referenced in the Chart template?

#HOST# and #HOST_PROTOCOL# are being set incorrectly by APEX from CGI variables when I create a chart. I am using APEX 4.1 and Oracle 11g. The get the continual "Loading data..." and then after it times out I get "Error loading file".
Before we changed to a secure http environment, our charts worked. After we changed to the new web layer, the charts do not work. The #HOST# substitution was set to http://correctservername/ and #HOST_PROTOCOL# was set to http. We set PlsqlCGIEnvironmentList REQUEST_PROTOCOL=https in the dads configuration file and now the #HOST# displays https but it also includes the default port number which we do not want (https://correctservername:port/) The charts work without the port. REQUEST_PROTOCOL is not in the cgi list and setting this variable set #HOST_PROTOCOL#. What variable can we set to make #HOST# correct. It seems like #HOST# is being set by #REQUEST_PROTOCOL#'://'||HTTP_HOST||':'||SERVER_PORT||SCRIPT_NAME||'/'. SERVER_NAME could also be used in of HTTP_HOST. I don't know how APEX is setting #HOST#. Does it come from a host alias somewhere in the environment?
I don't want to add a new cgi variable called HOST because HOST sounds so generic and it might interfere with something else running in our environment. Or, I don't want to change the plsql cgi environment variable (such as HTTP_HOST) because many developers may use owa_util.get_cgi_env('HTTP_HOST') to get the current server. If the SERVER_PORT is part of the #HOST# then what could I change it to if it needs to be null. If you leave it blank, then the default SERVER_PORT comes from the CGI variables.
I would rather not create a global variable (hard-coding) and create a new chart template using the global variable or create a before header application process to re-direct url without a port.

Hi Donna,
changing the CGI environment variables HTTP_HOST, REQUEST_PROTOCOL and SERVER_PORT is the correct way how to resolve this, because it appears that your hiding the web server where you have installed mod_plsql or EPG by a different outside facing web server (also called reverse proxy). That's why APEX gets the host name, protocol and port of the internal web server, but should actually get the values of your reverse proxy web server. Can can fix that by changing the following CGI environment variables.
HTTP_HOST should just contain the domain name (no protocol or port). For example: www.oracle.com
REQUEST_PROTOCOL should contain http or https
SERVER_PORT should be the port for https
I don't want to add a new cgi variable called HOST because HOST sounds so generic and it might interfere with something else running in our environment. Or, I don't want to change the plsql cgi environment variable (such as HTTP_HOST) because many developers may use owa_util.get_cgi_env('HTTP_HOST') to get the current server. If the SERVER_PORT is part of the #HOST# then what could I change it to if it needs to be null. If you leave it blank, then the default SERVER_PORT comes from the CGI variables.The value of HTTP_HOST is wrong anyway and points to your internal web server, but I assume your developers actually want to get the host name of your external web server if they use it to generate absolute URLs. That's why I wouldn't bother and set it to the correct host name.

How can I set up a form for someone to fill out on another person's behalf?

I am trying to set up a form in which someone is asked to fill in the form for another person. Basically, we're asking people if they're still our primary contact. If they are, it's a simple blind form confirmation. If they're not, we are asking them to please tell us who is. So it will take them to a form where they can tell us who is the new contact. However, I don't want cookies for the new person to be attributed to the person that filled out the form (as that would then mess with segmentation, lead scoring/nurturing, etc). We also need to see who is the person filling out the form, so we know who the new person is replacing. So we'll need to collect the name and/or email address of the person filling out the form, in addition to the name and email address of the person they're adding.
I know this can be done, as at a previous company we had a form that was used internally to add people who called in sales inquiries, so that we could capture them as "submitting an inquiry" as if they had just filled out a form. For example, I would fill out the form after someone called in asking for product information, but the online behavior of that person would not be attributed to me even though I filled out the form from my computer. Unfortunately, I can't recall how this was set up. Does anyone have any ideas on how this could be set up?

Hi Abby,
The easiest way to do this is to set up two forms:
The first form is for your primary contact, who will submit the email address for the secondary contact and any additional contact data for the secondary contact. You can also include a field (hidden or otherwise) for the primary contact if you wish to record this form submission activity, but functionally this is not required.
A second form which will accept the secondary contact's email address and any other contact info you'd like to capture through this process.
The trick is that once you've got these two forms saved, you add a form processing step to the first form called Post Data to Server. In this processing step, you fill in the details for the second form, including making sure to map the secondary email address field on form 1 to the primary email address field on form 2. The URL will need to be the POST action url for the secondary form, which you can get from the integration details. You'll also need to append your SiteID and Form Name, and also a variable to disable cookies for this submission (elqCookieWrite). The final URL should be something like this:
https://s1886.t.eloqua.com/e/f2?elqSiteID=1886&elqFormName=Alt2&elqCookieWrite=0
My organization is 1886, so you'll have to replace this with your Site ID
My secondary form name is Alt2, so you'll have to replace this with your secondary form name
elqCookieWrite=0 ensures the secondary form will not try to associate the session with the ElqGUID (cookie)
In the secondary form, make sure you have the processing step Update Contacts - With Form Data.
Now when submitting form 1, you'll see a submission to both forms, and the contact info submitted to form 2 creates a new contact (or updates an existing one) with no ties to the current session/cookie used to submit form 1. You can add these contacts to a shared list, enter them into a separate campaign or program, or anything else you could do with a normal form submission.
One caveat to remember though is that since this person did not submit the form, you have not technically collected any permission to contact them, so you'll have to sort that out with whatever rules apply in your area (your use case seems to be for existing customers which is generally OK, but you should still check).
Hope this helps,
Richard
