How to insert a QR code in a template with a dynamic hyperlink to a guest page including the MAILINGCODE

Wed, 12 Apr 2023 10:04:43 +0000

How to build a solution to send a document to invite to an event with a QR code to scan that opens a guest page with the subscription form
The form should be pre-filled with the contact info based on the MAILING code of the contact in Efficy
Is there any previous experience of generating a QR code from Efficy?
If yes, with which API and from where (client/server side)?
Thx

Error in document sharing link

Thu, 08 Jul 2021 14:10:05 +0000

Hello,

On the customer's guest page, you can download a document but the link is wrong:

https://bozar.efficy.cloud/file/download?p=jj34qXnKDY-T-ziRP9

The correct link to download the file is:

https://files.efficy.cloud/file/download?p=jj34qXnKDY-T-ziRP9

To generate the link, we use the "Efficy.create Sharing Token" function and I think there is a bad configuration in the designer.
Anyone know which parameter is in error ?

Thanks in advance,
Quentin

Guest page & requirejs : Yes we can!

Fri, 18 Jun 2021 11:48:26 +0000

I know, I know, I know: Guest pages went to the dark side of the force! But since I'm as old as Methuselah, I already had to work on them and still have to, for legacy reasons.

First I have to thank Stéphane & Kristof, our gurus, who opened the Red Sea waters to let me reach the Holy Land.

The first step to activate requirejs framework from a guest page is to call a macro like this one:

DialogScripts {[
  <%UseScript('js/config/require.config.js', fixedpath=T, data-custombase='%%GetFileBase(short=T)')%>
  <%Evaluate("%%Macro('RequireConfigCustom')")%>
  <%UseScript('../../../../lib/js/vendor/require.js', fixedpath=T, data-main='%%Macro("MainJsModule")', data-custom-main='%%Macro("MainJsModuleCustom")')%>
]}

The second one is to copy the standard efficy/js/config/require.config.js file in your guest/myGuest/js/config folder. A few drops of Holy water on this file will then suffice to perform the miracle :

baseUrl: '../guest/myGuest/js',

Since your custom require.config.js is one level deeper than the efficy one, you have to add one ../ to all relative paths:

'domReady':               '../../lib/js/vendor/require.domReady',

becomes

'domReady':             '../../../lib/js/vendor/require.domReady',

Add this ../ to all standard modules relative paths.

And at the end of the file :

if (tagC) {
  attrC = tagC.getAttribute(attrC).replace(/([^\/]*)\/$/, '$1'); // remove trailing slash;
  if (attrC) require.paths.custom = '../' + attrC + '/js/';
}
if (tagD) {
  attrD = tagD.getAttribute(attrD).replace(/([^\/]*)\/$/, '$1'); // remove trailing slash;
  if (attrD && attrD !== '..') require.paths.dealer = '../' + attrD + '/js/';
}

becomes

if (tagC) {
  attrC = tagC.getAttribute(attrC).replace(/([^\/]*)\/$/, '$1'); // remove trailing slash;
if (attrC)
  require.paths.custom = '../../' + attrC + '/js/';
}
if (tagD) {
  attrD = tagD.getAttribute(attrD).replace(/([^\/]*)\/$/, '$1'); // remove trailing slash;
if (attrD && attrD !== '..')
  require.paths.dealer = '../../' + attrD + '/js/';
}

You can now use the requirejs well known syntax from your page :

requirejs(
  ['standardModule', 'custom/misc/customModule'],
  function(StandardModule, CustomModule) {
     ...
  }
);

Meditate on this Psalm III of Chapter II of the Gospel according to Saint Peter and think about it the next time you'll have to work on a guest page.

Amen!

refresh GetGuestLabel in 12.0

Thu, 27 May 2021 15:49:50 +0000

Hello,

I tried to refresh my guest page labels in 12.0 and I used these methods:
- refresh from http://efficy120/public/guest?app=xxx&action=readregistry
- kill COM+
- refresh settings from console

the only method that works was to use recycle from IIS in application pools and to empty my browser cache.

Is there any simple way to refresh the guest label ?

Customize the error message for a Guest page when there are "Invalid parameters"

Wed, 25 Nov 2020 16:47:54 +0000

Hi,

is it possible to customize the error message that you get when you've entered invalid parameters for a guest page. You then get the following error message:
“Invalid parameters for request! Check Guest_Error.log for details"

But I really would like to know if we can modify this error message to a more friendly one.

Best regards,
Jeroen

Using readregistry in Efficy 11.2 guest page

Tue, 07 May 2019 09:01:07 +0000

Hi all,

For a guest page on Efficy 11.2 I have added labels to guest_labels.txt in the directory customs\{{customer}}\guest\{{customer}}\. The other files (subdirectories), that get loaded and work are in the the same directory.

In earlier versions the labels get loaded by action=readregistry. How do I load them in 11.2?
- With http://127.0.0.1/crm/guest?action=readregistry I receive No guest applications are allowed on this host.
- With http://127.0.0.1:11200/crm/guest?customer={{customer}}&action=readregistry
I receive This guest application is not allowed for the specified customer profile.
- With http://127.0.0.1:11200/crm/guest?customer={{customer}}&action=readregistry&app={{customer}} the page loads normally, not the normal registry read message.

Best regards,

Rob

Remote API Node - Unauthorized IP for the provided API key

Thu, 07 Mar 2019 15:24:41 +0000

Hello,

I have setup a Remote API Node call with JSON to the test cloud Efficy 11.2 to https://arthurenwillemijn.efficytest.com, but unfortunately i get: Unauthorized IP for the provided API key. In the customer conficy i have added two external IP's in the API key, IP whitelist; ::1;ip home;ip office.

The thing is for my localhost and with a user and password it works great. I use postman to test.

Do you have any idea why this fails?

Encrypt string parameters in guest page

Mon, 24 Jul 2017 09:08:48 +0000

Hi everyone,

One of my customer wants to encrypt the url of the guest pages.

For the moment it's something like this :

https://EFFICYURL/EFFICY.DLL/guest?app=MyApp&page=test.htm&propkey=2633&broch=OFF&lang=FR&param=&cont=1643C29336&type=Year&proj=0&section=main&ismode=let

With this, the next key (propkey) can easily be guessed and the contact can potentially access all the records

The idea is to use a specific encryption, the url will only be something like this :
https://EFFICYURL/EFFICY.DLL/guest?app=MyApp&page=test.htm&id=Y2F0ZWdvcnk9dGV4dGlsZSZ1c2VyPXVzZXIx

With this, I need to do a loadscript, runscript to go serverside, decrypt the id and pass client side the right parameters
But this means all the Runqueries, GetArguments,.. have to be delayed right?

Did anyone have already done something like this or do you have any advice?

Thanks,

Kind regards,
Henry

Guest Page configuration

Thu, 27 Oct 2016 12:02:48 +0000

Hi everyone,

I'm having a problem while trying to configure a guest page @Ingenico Easycash.
This is not the first time i have to implement a guest page, but this time is not working and I cannot find the reason.

When I try to access the page, I have an error message telling me to check the Guest_error.log file but I cannot find it (seems that it's not created).

Here are some screenshots of my configs:

Any Ideas?

Thanks!

REST webservice and Efficy

Wed, 10 Feb 2016 11:07:22 +0000

Hello,

For a customer we need to create a REST webservice
The parameter will be a product key and the result a json object

It should be something like this :

Exemple :
Request URL: efficy.xxxx.be/xxxxxx/[k_product]

Response: (text/json Format)
{
'id': 14444,
'title': "...",
'text': "...",
'image': 'http://....jpg',
'logos': [
'http://....jpg',
'http://....jpg'
],
...
}

What's the best solution?

Is it possible to do this with a guest page which will return the json (I think it will not be a real rest service...)
Or should we create a real REST webservice (.Net with the proxy dll)? Is someone has already done this?
Or is there another solution?

Thx for your advices

opencaptcha deprecated

Mon, 14 Sep 2015 14:18:06 +0000

Hi all,

Fyi, the site www.opencaptcha.org is down for the moment and will be deprecated in October
So if you are using this site in your guestpages, please change it immediately

A solution is to use the site captchas.net
I'm using this for some guest pages @ Bozar and it works perfectly

Another solution is to use the google recaptcha (but I'm not a fan)

Kr,

Guest Page or Extranet what is the difference?

Wed, 12 Aug 2015 04:50:44 +0000

What I understood from edn is that Extranet needs contact licenses (and may be a full user call GUEST not sure about that one) and the contact licenses are counted on the number of contacts that have a EXTCODE field filled in.

Guest page doesn't need license but the user should pass its MAILINGCODE in the URL of the guest page in order to retrieve some information in Efficy.

I saw in some example some guest pages using a logon page Login = email + Password = MAILINCODE.

So why using Extranet if Guest pages can also have some sort of "security" ?
