Notes:// URL in custom button

Hi,

I have an issue which is given below. Please help me regarding it.

 

Scenario: URL to be given in a custom button is in the format "notes://server/db/view/document?Command&params=values"

 

Error in the browser after clicking the button: The address wasn't understood, because the protocol (notes) isn't associated with any program.

 

Please let me know if anybody has any appropriate solution related to it? Is there any method available wherein I can redirect the URL to Notes:// (Used in IBM lotus Notes) protocol.

 

Thanks in advance!

:)

Thanks everyone The Error is solved. :)

Problem was with Lotus Notes' settings.

With Notes:// protocol in the link and with appropriate settings of Lotus Notes one can open the link in Notes client.

I used windows.open('Notes://..................................') ; and behavior as Execute JavaScript.

Thanks KamatchiDeviR, your solution is also too good.

Hi R_Shri,

 

URL for the custom button should be mentioned as follows,

 

Format,

http://<organization domain url>/<objectcode>/<edit or detail mode>?<id or valeus to be passed>

 

Eg,

http://ap1.salesforce.com/500/e?retURL=/{!case.Id}

 

Hope this will help you...!

Hi Kamatchi Devi R,

 

Thanks for your response.

 

The format provided by you is having http:// protocol while I want to redirect to Notes:// protocol.

(On clicking the custom button, the URL should be opened in IBM Lotus Notes)

Please let me know if I am wrong in deciphering the format.

 

Others: Please let me know if there is any other functionality as well.

 

Thanks

Hi R_Shri,

That's not the problem at all. You can add your protocol for what you are following.

You should follow the format thats all,

<organization domain url>/<objectcode>/<edit or detail mode>?<id or valeus to be passed>
