WebLink 10 Links not showing - URL Rewrite

asked on August 11, 2022 • Show version history

I have a Client that has WebLink 10.2. We are encountering the issue where when users type https://<URL>/weblink, it loads the page but the custom links are missing from the home page.

I have already engaged Laserfiche Support and they have stated that This is a bug that is resolved in WebLink 11. My Client isn't ready for WebLink 11 upgrade yet.

Laserfiche Support as mentioned that we can do a URL Rewrite as a workaround but they are not able to provide a solution for the URL rewrite. Only refers to a Microsoft article

Below is what I have.

This works for the initial access to https://<URL>/WebLink redirecting it to https://<URL>/WebLink/Wecome.aspx?dbid=0&repo=DemoRepo which displays the custom links.

But if the user closes the browser tab with WebLink and then opens a new tab within the same browser tab, and then goes to https://<URL>/WebLink, then the search links disappear again.

Has anyone gotten the URL rewrite to work to share their solution? I have tried both redirect and rewrite but gotten no where.

My Client has more than a two dozen WebLink virtual directories.

I don't think a rewrite is what you are looking for. A rewrite does just that — it rewrites one URL as a different URL. This is primarily aesthetic, not functional.

It sounds to me like you'd rather redirect all traffic to https://<URL>/WebLink to https://<URL>/WebLink/Wecome.aspx?dbid=0&repo=DemoRepo instead. Give HTTP redirect a try.

Edit: I just noticed that you are using a redirect in the screenshot. It looks like this is because your pattern is matching Welcome.aspx. Try "Welcome\.aspx*" instead, since Web Link often appends "?cr=1" to the URL when there is a cookie present.

Thanks Kevin.

I tried the "Welcome\.aspx*' but that didn't make any difference. When I use the http Redirect feature in IIS, the Weblink page fails to load indicating an error of to many redirects.
