Short URL in the browser address bar

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!

Hi Colum,
can you please explain these 2 points from  your posts. I am very new to Robohelp so I am not able to understand  some of these terms
1. When  the help is called (e.g. through an API call) the end user sees a much  shorter URL along the lines of what Mayank has provided.
2.  If  you are wanting to shorten the actual URL that is returned by your  browser, why would you want to? I wouldn't even go there as it will  depend on the browser being used.
I  am attaching the screenshot which explains you clearly about my  requirement in a sequence.
1 st screenshot shows you the login screen
2nd screenshot shows the projects window where in if we click on that displays the projects
3rd screenshot shows the project 'CCC' and when we click on View Project opens 4th screenshot
If you see the URL in screenshot it contains lot of % characters and other junk. I want a user friendly URL in place of that. can you please help me? I have to put this in place Friday, anyhelp on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for looking into this.

    I don't want the user to have to copy or type in to my app the websites URL. Is it possbile to get this from the process e.g. The browser address bar, or the HTTP:// request sent by the browser.
    Any thoughts gratefully recieved.

  • Can't type in the browser address bar

    everytime i upgrade firefox now i lose a bit more functionality... before when i opened a new tab i had to click the google homepage button in order to type in the browser address bar.. now i upgraded again and can't type in the google bar or the address bar at all.. the only reason i got to this page with firefox is because it was my homepage..
    i hate to not use firefox as i love it.. but chrome is starting to look better. :(

    Thanks for this.
    Only problem I have no "org.mozilla.firefox.plist" file that I can find (I can find a whole bunch of others relating to other software), nothing for Firefox.
    Add to my whoes the fact I even tried re-setting my Firefox installation.
    All that gave me was a much worse version of Firefox without all my add-ons and the same bloody problem with it still not recognising any keyboard input.
    Also add the fact it's taken half a day to re-build Firefox to the point I had it before from various backups (thank the gods for FEBE).
    so i now have a re-constituted version of Firefox (still re-building Speedial) with the same problem.
    I solved the same problem with IE (yea I have almost browsers on my machine as I am a developer), by re-installing Java.
    Hey ho, onwards we go.

  • How do I get the navigation/address bar in the "about" pages?

    My title describes it. If possible, I'd like to have the navigation /address bar in about:addons, about:preferences etc. pages. If anybody has an idea, I'd love for you to post back. :-)
    (Fx 27 on Windows 8.1 x64)

    Firefox shows the Navigation Toolbar for me on Linux when tabs are not on top (i.e. browser.tabs.onTop pref = false).<br />
    Current Firefox versions only show the "Tabs on Top" menu entry in the "View > Toolbars" and "Firefox > Options" menu and in toolbar context menus if the tabs aren't in the default position on top.
    Note that this pref will no longer have effect once the Australis code lands on the release channel (the Australis code is currently only on the Nightly update channel in the current 29.0a1 version).
    Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
    The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

  • How to change the InfoView logo [Favicon] from the browsers address bar.

    Hi All,
    I am launching an Infoview in a new web browser from the netWeaver portal through a link.
    The favicon for potal is changed on the portal server.
    How I can change the InfoView logo[Favicon] from the browsers address bar?
    If anybody knows where that image is located on the BOE server where I can replace the icon with my company icon?
    Please advise!
    Awaiting Reply!
    Smita Thorat

    Hi,
    the icon has the name favicon.ico and can be found in the root folder of the Web AS /Portal.
    Favicons are images of the size 16x16 or 32x32 pixel in the Icon format (image/x-icon) and files have an .ico extension.
    You can either change the standard sap favicon directly on the WebAs server wich needs might be done after each support package.

  • How can I eliminate the icon at the very left of the Safari address bar. Some icons look cruddy.

    I was wondering if the fuzzy, jaggy icons that show up at the left in the Safari address bar could be turned off in some way. Or by getting a mac with a Retina display.

    Click "View" > "Customize Toolbar."  Drag off any you don't want or need.

  • What is the horizontal bar under the web address bar called? How to I put pages into it?

    I don't know how to add my most-used pages to the bar under the web address bar.- or what that bar is called so I can't find help for it in mozilla help

    I use Windows, but assuming Mac is the same, it's called the Bookmarks Toolbar, and you can add bookmarks to it by clicking the bookmarks star twice, then selecting Bookmarks Toolbar with the small arrow(s) to the right of 'Unsorted Bookmarks.' If you wish to add a folder, right click on the toolbar itself > New Folder.

  • Cursor location in new tabs defaults to the omnibox/address bar

    I have set new tabs to open google.com (using New Tab Homeage 0.4.3). However, in new tabs, the cursor position defaults to the omnibox/address bar. I want the default cursor location to be the google search field on the web page (if you must know why, it's because I love the lightning-fast search suggestions). I want to just hit CTRL+T and start typing my search. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.

    this bug refers https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1107844
    For the moment don't use enter or tab to move to the next field.

  • Can we rewrite browser address bar without making a new request to the serv

  • URL disappears from within address bar (bar does not disappear)

    After visiting a site for a few seconds, the address bar removes the URL and says "search or enter address"
    Once "search or enter address" appears the cursor is automatically moved to the address bar, sometimes in the middle of typing something.
    This happens on all websites, by all means of getting to that site.
    It happens when Firefox is in safe mode. I have also reset Firefox to default settings. (It is not the all too common "its an addon/extension/plugin" resolution)
    It happened on my previous Firefox version for several months as well as after a very recent update to: 29.0.1
    malwarebytes, avg, microsoft security essentials all show no threats.
    Running windows 7 SP 1, no important updates available.
    Google chrome had the same problem for some time but has somehow no longer has the issue (not sure how/why, as I do not recall making any changes to it)
    This issue (seemingly) began to occur shortly after updating my sound card driver.

    Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.
