Simplemail link only opens up Odyssey to my homepage but not actual link??

what title says and I think it started doing that a few weeks back? only thing I did to system was install the latest enhancer software release and updated DirMeUP...didn't touch Prefs/URL etc.

@328gts
Since it *is* opening some kind of URL with Odyssey, the URL must be getting lost. That points fairly directly at Prefs/URL needing to be fixed, so I'd check what settings it has for both the HTTP & HTTPS tabs...

@ChrisH

ok will post what's there when I'm back home in front of my miggy. Was wondering if anyone else had this happen since updating to the the latest Enhancer Plus update ?

@ChrisH

ok this is annyoing me again so just remembered this now old thread

so the url prefs are:

for:
FILE: "URL=*"file:///%s*""
HTTP: "URL=*http://%s*""
HTTPS: "URL=*"https://%s*""

bumpity ...can someone please check their URL prefs for me and post results here..i think I'm missing some : or / or " or ya got the drift

@328gts
The middle one, you are missing a double quote after the first asterisk.

@colinw

tried but same issue

@328gts

In my URL prefs, I don't have the "URL=" bit for Odyssey, so e.g. my HTTP spec for Odyssey is:

"*"http://%s*""

This is using OdysseyLauncherPE, BTW.

(For AWeb, NetSurf and IBrowse, I do have the URL=, but I normally only use Odyssey.)

Best regards,

Niels

Good eyes.
Yes, the ReadArgs() template for OWB and Odyssey is a bit wonky
compared to other clients. It doesn't work if you use the URL= keyword,
the others do.

@nbache

thanks Niels, tried but still same issue then I noticed the same thing (Odyssey loads up to homepage) happened to the WWW tab so changed it also and still nothing. Also noticed that if Odyssey is already open and I click on a link in SimpleMail a new Odyssey screen pops up rather than a new tab in Odyssey..I'm wondering if it's a setting in Odyssey itself rather than Prefs/URL ?

@328gts
Quote:

1. i have the same here: "*"http://%s*"" and it is working fine. did you change all tabs to reflect this?
2. install and use odysseylauncher2 from os4depot. this will take care about opening a new tab instead of launching a new instance

Open URLOpen prefs and click the "Enable Debug for this protocol" checkmark gadget for the HTTP, HTTPS & WWW protocols; then save the prefs. URLOpen will open a debug window when it receives a URL that shows the URL it received and the URL it sends to your browser. That should help you determine whether the problem is with Simplemail, URLOpen or Odyssey.
