cross site linking not outputting link with correct .html extension

We're working on implementing the Calendar module and are very close. If you look at the link below, we have a registration link that goes back to our main site. If you click on the registration link on this page, you get a 404 error because the url in the link does not have the .html extension.

http://www.citizensmemorial.com/1calendar/2014/01/childbirth-the-bi...

The page we are trying to link to has been published and can be accessed at this url:
http://www.citizensmemorial.com/hospital-services/birth-place1/regi...

Any ideas?

   Hi Lauren,

   Is the page you are linking to in another Site by chance? If so, the issue may be with the way the /_cascade/formats/event details Format is outputting the related links.

   When you have a moment, try modifying the following lines at the bottom of the Format:

   ## Determine which link field to use for the related link.
   #set ($morelink = "")
   #if ($internalLink != "/")
       #set ($morelink = $internalLink)
   #elseif ($managedLink != "/")
       #set ($morelink = $managedLink)
   #elseif ($customLink != "" && $customLink != "http://"  && $customLink != "https://")
       #set ($morelink = $_EscapeTool.xml($customLink))
   #end
   

   to the following:

   ## Determine which link field to use for the related link.
   #set ($morelink = "")
   #if ($internalLink != "/")
       #set ($morelink = $_XPathTool.selectSingleNode($link, "internal/link").value)
   #elseif ($managedLink != "/")
       #set ($morelink = $_XPathTool.selectSingleNode($link, "external/content/system-symlink").value)
   #elseif ($customLink != "" && $customLink != "http://"  && $customLink != "https://")
       #set ($morelink = $_EscapeTool.xml($customLink))
   #end
   

   This tweak should better support cross-site linking.

   Please let me know if you have any questions.

   Thanks!

   Hi Lauren,

   My apologies the change does not seem to be working for you.

   When you have a moment, I'd like to take a look at the XML being applied to the Format so I can double check the Velocity code:

   • Edit the Format
   • Preview one of your events using the following preview options:
     • Block: /_cascade/blocks/index/current page
     • Page: one of your events with a related link
   • Copy and paste the resulting XML to this discussion

   Please let me know if you have any questions.

   Thanks!

   Thank you for providing the XML output, Lauren.

   Comparing your XML to what I am seeing in my local instance, the snippet I provided should be working. When you have a moment, please attach or paste your entire Format so I can compare it to what I am testing with locally.

   Please let me know if you have any questions.

   Thanks!

   Ryan,

   Got it figured out. Copied over one too many lines.

   Thanks!
