Can I change the link in a discussion alert email to point to that discussion thread instead of the reply itself?
I have figured out how and where to edit the Alerts:
The discussion alerts have a View link that takes you to a view of the current reply.
The problem with this view is that you cannot reply back from here. You can only click on 'Close' which brings you back to the discussion board. From here you have to find the thread that this reply was in.
The variable for that link, $Resources:Alerts_link_view is
located in the alerttemplates.xml file.
<GetVarName="ListUrl"URLEncodeAsURL="TRUE"/><HTML><![CDATA[">$Resources:Alerts_link_view; ]]></HTML><GetVarName="ListName"HTMLEncode="TRUE"/>Is there a different variable I can use here that will send me to the 'Testing 123' discussion?
Or is there a different way to do this?
