Displaying a Static URL

The Web Site gadget can display a static URL. To define a static URL in the Web Site gadget, the URL must begin with the text #crm_server#. The actual HTML files must be placed in a folder off the WWWRoot folder. A System Administrator with access to this folder can help you do this.

Example 1:

#crm_server#/StaticContent/abcd.html

Relates to a file called abcd.html in a folder created off the WWWRoot folder called StaticContent.

This format can also be used to link to third-party gadgets. Please refer to the Developer Help for more details.

Example 2:

#crm_server#/StaticContent/#language#/ecosystem/CommunityLinks.htm

Relates to a folder created off the WWWRoot folder called StaticContent, which contains an optional placeholder that picks up the language of the user (it would appear on the file system as WWWRoot\StaticContent\uk\ecosystem\CommunityLinks.htm).
