Hi, I’m trying to enter permalinks (which works fine) but bump into an issue when entering url’s with special characters. For instance when entering the url display/exacom/ADO+<>+Jira+Cloud%3A+Date+time+sync it is converted to display/exacom/ADO+%3C%3E+Jira+Cloud%253A+Date+time+sync Because &25 is the html counterpart of % But then when I try the link https://community.exalate.com/display/exacom/ADO<>+Jira+Cloud%3A+Date+time+sync The page is not found. Trying to use the html entity counterpart in the url entry, is not working either, because the original url is then not found. Question - what is the correct way to enter permalinks which contains this type of characters (and avoid double HTML encoding)

Just a wild guess: escaping, like \%3A?

Tried it bla\%3Abla Becomes bla%5C%253Abla

You could try entering them in rails to have more control over the escaping, maybe. Don’t know if it’ll help, but that’s what I’d try next.

those display links don’t look right - they are missing the first part it looks like. have you tried TinyURL link shortening?

Hi Lily, Thanks These are wiki pages which we published on our old community site For instance https://community.exalate.com/display/exacom/ADO<>+Jira+Cloud%3A+Date+time+sync Is now accessible on https://oldcommunity.exalate.com/display/exacom/ADO<>+Jira+Cloud%3A+Date+time+sync Of course - people who try to access today the first version, will arrive at the discourse site, and get a 404. That’s why we want to use the permalinks feature The problem is that it is not possible to enter the url in such a way that it is found and thus the redirect doesn’t kick in. A tinyurl will not be possible because that is not what the users will be using.

How many are there and do they all have the same nonsense at the head? Do they all have xxx%3A+slug?

I’m obviously not understanding what you are doing. I just successfully created a test permalink on my site to this page: Service Archived - Exalate Community when I go to /test on my site it takes me straight to that page. [Screenshot 2024-11-16 at 6.58.59 AM] edit: nevermind, I wasn’t comprehending your OP properly, I see what you are trying to do now. you are tying to use that weird complex link as the permalink. yikes. yea I don’t know if that is possible without some special escaping. :thinking:

Exactly - thanks for taking the time.

Do they all have xxx%3A+slug? no We created now a page with an overview of all the use cases [תמונה] Use cases on the old community site Script Library Following use cases are currently available on the old community site. Some of them are already migrated, some are still on the old site. Migrated ADO <> Jira Cloud: Date time sync Azure DevOps <> Jira Cloud Keep Issue hierarchy Azure... There you can see some of the links and how these are url encoded.

We are using the hosting option of discourse.org
I don’t think we can have that liberty.
