We need to access an external site from an Aurena  lobby element, adding variables to the URL-path (not as parameters).

Ex. https://externalsite.com/page/sessionguid/ABCDEF0123456789/

The external site does not support the more traditional syntax:

https://externalsite.com/page?sessionguid=ABCDEF0123456789

 

We have tested by adding the following to the Aurena Lobby Element (Web Access URL Address field):

https://externalsite.com/page/sessionguid/$[sessionguid]/ but the link is output as is, including brackets, dollar sign and variable name.

 

Any solutions?

Hi @rune.engh,

The URL path depends on the type of the navigation. Aurena lobby navigation does not support parameters/variables for external URLs at the moment. It would be up to the external URL to parse the variables and do something with them somehow.

This is documented in Aurena Lobby Navigation Guide.

Hope this helps!
