Jon Hayes CHI Date format within URL parameter
I am building a VF email template that contains a URL to create a record and prefilling some fields on the form. Of the fields is a date field and it only serves as a reference to the user but needs to be readable. I need to remove the time zone/offset from the date that is rendered into my URL. I know how to output the format I want anywhere else in the email but as part of an <a href".. tag I do not know how.
My URL looks like this:
that I can do within the href tag to output the date into my URL in a cleaner format?
My URL looks like this:
Click<a href="https://na3.salesforce.com/a1B/e?CF00N0L0044062bDo={!relatedTo.Name}&CF00N0L0044062bDo_lkid={!relatedTo.Id}&CF00N0L4400062bDx={!recipient.name}&00N0L0055062bE2='{!relatedTo.Start_Date__c}"> HERE</a> to respond.<br />
But the field "Start Date" renders as :
Fri%20Jul%2014%2000:00:00%20GMT%202017Is there an equivalent to this:
<apex:outputText value="{0,date,MM/dd/yyyy}"> <apex:param value="{!relatedTo.Start_Date__c}" /> </apex:outputText>
that I can do within the href tag to output the date into my URL in a cleaner format?
