Deeplink to Vuforia Studio Experience Service with Spaces in Project Name

[CS_9203536]

Hi,

im trying to create QR codes to deeplink to experiences that have spaces in their project name, such as

'Sample Project'

If I urlencode the whole thing to something like

vuforiaview://ptc.com/command/view-experience?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvf-es.ptc.com%2FExperienceService%2Fcontent%2Fprojects%2FSample%20Project%2F

and build a QR code, the link is shown to be invalid.

Without the spaces, e.g. for a 'SampleProject', everythings fine.

Am I missing something here and is there a way to fix this?

Thank you so much

Hi @CS_9203536 ,

so seems that space is working also for qr code example:

https://view.vuforia.com/command/view-experience?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmyexperienceservice.studio.thingworx.io%2FExperienceService%2Fcontent%2Fprojects%2Fspace%2520project%2Findex.html%3FexpId%3D1

  So when you publish the project and then go the share button - it generates the deep link and also the qr code

So I used a project named   "space project" and it was encoded to "space%2520project"    so means that here in QR code is used for space %2520     the url decoder e.g. https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/ will suggest %20 which will not work there

Hi @RolandRaytchev,

thanks for your response. So, it does not even work for QR codes created by Vuforia?

Does that mean there wont be any kind of fix for that?

Thanks and best

no,  sorry if there is mistake in my post. The QR code generated by Vuforia Studio with a project having a space in the project name  seems to work. But other url encoder seem to use different syntax. And in this case if otherwise the QR code was generated in  this will not work

Is your issue occurring in Studio - means the QR code is created by the share tab ? In this case  which version of Studio was used?

I used Vuforia Studio 9.6 restricted installation where it was working

Ah, now i see. But I tried to open your QR code above and i got an error message as well.

As i understand it, the suggestion is to have the space in the Experience Service URL encoded (%20) then encode the encoded string to (%2520), which basically escapes the % and append the whole thing to the vuforiaview://[...]?url= link.

However, I tried this before and it didnt work for me as well.

I am sorry , I removed the example from server  . Here tested with this "Test Project with spaces" name and was working  with the deeplink and the reading the QR code - tested on both Android and IOS I-Pad was able to received the experience . It will be active until next week

here the real ES link for the "Test Project with spaces" project

I see that internally to handle this it use "_" underlines ,Possible a question of Studio version

[CS_9203536]

Thanks for your input. So there is probably an issue with the studio version. But I know which path to take with the encodings. Thanks!
