Updating URLs

Hi, I quickly wanted to mention that my entire team uses your book as our reference guide. It's almost on a different plane versus other tech books I've read.

I do have one question because no one seems to know of a way to accomplish changing links that a user creates in SiteStudio. We know the Link Wizard is a compiled bit of code, but are wanting to forward some of the requests for a file extension (pdfs) elsewhere. This way we can pass the file to an external application to insert some known information about the user.

Thanks,

how about a service handler for GET_FILE?

if you make all URLs to the PDFs through a service call -- like GET_FILE -- then you can create a "chained service handler" to execute custom code before sending back the PDF. Your custom code can execute a web service (or whatever) to gather extra info about the user.

Its a little tricky, but I cover them in chapter 11.

Otherwise, you could maybe use an "extensible element" straight from Site Studio Contributor.

And thanks for the compliment!

Idea redefined

What we are actually wanting to do is to append a url that a user creates anywhere on the site using link wizard with additional text.
