Technical Tip: Missing login menu description links after upgrade from 8.x to 9.x

This article discusses the behaviour where descriptions are not linked in the Login Menu.

After upgrading from version 8.x to version 9.x, some descriptions that used to have embedded hyperlinks no longer have them.  This can occur if some descriptions did not include href codes.

Example:
Portal Configuration > Registration > Login Menu settings show the following:

Standard Login Description:<a href="ValidUserLogin.jsp">Users who have a permanent account.</a>

Guest Login Description: <a href="GuestLoginGCS.jsp">Guests who have a temporary account.</a>

Self Registration Guest Login Description: Self Registration Guest Access

8.x results:  All descriptions are linked
After upgrade to 9.x:  Only Standard Login and Guest Login descriptions are linked

1) Navigate to Portal Configuration > Registration > Login Menu.
2) Change the description to include the href code.
3) Click Apply to save.

Example:

Change:
Self Registration Guest Login Description: Self Registration Guest Access

To:
Self Registration Guest Login Description:<a href="https://apollo/registration/SelfRegGuestRequestLogin.jsp">Self Registration Guest Access</a>
