Update DB with click the email link

Here's the scenario: visitor fills out the form on the Web site at the request of report. BizOwner complements the report and send the visitor an email with a link to the report. The report is based on values stored in a database. The email link looks like this: http://www.MySite.com/freeReport/ReadYours.cfm?reportID=12345.

I want to do is have a ReadYours.cfm (the report output page) recognize when the visitor arrives to the page by clicking on the e-mail link. (BizOwner view (s) the same page after completing the report, but not by clicking on the e-mail link.) BizOwner's page on the site where heShe full report. So, I don't want to save removal of BizOwner from a page on the website - just the visitor referral link e-mail.) If the visitor has arrived on the page by clicking on the email link, update the database to record the visitor considered its report. Database has a table named "Outlook", which has a column "readReport." I want to update the column / field 'Yes' when the visitor arrives to the report by clicking on their link of e-mail.

Hope I'm making sense.

Thanks in advance,
Gwen H

you make sense and what you want to achieve can be easily done in
added a few other var to the url sent to the user. then press the
ReadYours.cfm checking for the existence of this var page - if there is only
the user came there is a link in the email.
i.e.

Send this link to users:
http://www.mysite.com/freeReport/ReadYours.cfm?ReportID=12345&e=1

on ReadYours.cfm do




Another option, but not very accurate, is to simply check
variable #cgi.http_referer #:
If it contains the domain name of your site then the user came from a page
in your site;
If not - then he/she came from email link... or a
Bookmark... or from a link on another site...

  • Click on the email link to send that email does not work

    I used to be able to send a link from Firefox or click on an email address on a website. Firefox raise my email (Yahoo mail), but the link in the email is not in the body or if I clicked on an e-mail To: part of the enamel is not met. Please help, it was a very useful feature.

    On further analysis, I found that Gmail doesn't have this problem, so I do believe that it is a problem with Firefox. I work with Yahoo mail now to solve. Thanks anyway.

  • New tab opens when I click on email link, this does not happen with IE or Chrome

    I use a specific website for the work. When I click on a hyperlink on the website that is supposed to generate an e-mail, it also generates a new tab for no reason. It is a waste of time. Happening on the same site in IE or Chrome.

    Those are extensions for Firefox. You can access the Firefox Add-ons page using one of the following methods:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. On the right, enabled extensions are listed alphabetically, with the extensions disabled at the bottom.

    As a general criterion for the problems caused by any extension, the user may try the same pages/functions Mode without failure of Firefox. It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    (Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works)

    After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

    If the problem disappears, usually that points to an extension as the culprit.

    Keep in mind that other aspects of Safe Mode may be more relevant to display glitches (hardware acceleration) or outages as extensions, but in this case, I would look at the extensions.

  • Alarm in the emails link

    We use Foglight 5.6.10. When an alarm goes off and email is sent with a link to Foglight.  The variable is @foglight_rule_alarm_link.  I need to fix this link.  In the email it shows http://xxxx.xxxx.com:8080 / console/task/showAlarm? alarmId = / alarms/aexxxxx-xxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxdcd87 and I need to change it to

    https://xxxx.xxxx.com:8443 / console/task/showAlarm? alarmId = / alarms/aexxxxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxxxdcd87

    Ann,

    Take a look at your value of the Foglight registry variable, CATALYST_URL.  I suspect that you put in http://xxxx.xxxx.com:8080.  Change to https://xxxx.xxxx.com:8443 and I think that you will get what you want.

  • After update FF20.0, can no longer trigger the email links.

    A number of e-mails have internal links to web sites. Until the FF20.0, I could click on the link and open the referenced URL. Now, I can just copy and paste. Using Thunderbird.

    Sorry, you experience this problem, but it sounds like a problem with Thunderbird support.

    Thunderbird support is here.

  • Updated Windows with all the

    I have Windows 7.1 and a month ago, windows update services has started to eat my whole CPU. He (wuauserv) would go for days without showing any progress. Reluctantly, I disabled the service, but will re-start periodically to see if there was any change. Unfortunately, it wasn't. I backed up the system, reformat the drive and re-installed Windows 7. After restarting Windows, the first thing I went to Windows update and is the same: windows update services has started to eat my whole CPU. He ran for more than 24 hours without showing the progress. I am at a loss. Any suggestions to solve this annoying problem?

    First in Windows Updates settings, to never look for updates.

    Restart your computer, and then install KB3020369, if not installed.
    Then, install KB3172605.

    Windows updates should return to normal.

    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/3020369

    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/3172605

    You can then set the Windows Update, settings back to what they were.

  • Email link with the email address of the admin client

    We include an e-mail to Webhelp to our product link to allow our users to send us your comments on specific topics (none received to date, but I live in hope that someone, somewhere, reads for help...).

    A customer asked if it is possible to include an email link in the help topics that will send an email to that client sys admin.

    Obviously, a search / replace on all htm files would be the case, for example to replace the email address of my company doc feedback with email of the customer on the link send comments. But is there a more elegant way to do it?

    • The e-mail address used in the link could be specified when using the product is installed. The installer should go through all of the htm files and do the replacement.
    • The e-mail address may be specified in a file separate and included somehow in all htm, while a single file would need to be changed by the installer.

    Someone at - it solved this problem already? Is the 2nd option above even possible?

    Cheers, Julie

    I guess you want to simply send e-mail to the user's system, right? If it is to be sent automatically in the background, you need a solution on the side server.

    I see two options: sets of variables and JavaScript.

    • With the sets of variables, you set the email as a variable. And that you configure a set for each customer. But you will end up with a single output by customer.
    • With JavaScript, you put all the logic for the email link in a script. Then you have just the single file where the e-mail address is stored. Then only one place to update. See the site of Peter for the sample scripts: Email this theme
