[Tutorial] Adding Tracking URL

[Katamariz]

Hi all,

A small tip on adding a tracking url to your carrier.
When you edit the carrier and add the tracking url, some complications might pop-up.
Here is the tracking code that I wanted to implement for the carrier: https://jouw.postnl.nl/?D=NL&T=C#!/track-en-trace/@

However whenever I submitted it, wouldn't allow since the url was invalid. I found out that the  "!" exclamation mark was making the link invalid.
Therefore I got the work around by adding the link as: https://jouw.postnl.nl/?D=NL&T=C#%21/track-en-trace/@/NL/
If you ever run into an error like an invalid url, try url encoding.
You can read more about that at https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp
