Dynamic content in a url

I'd like to create a content block that my users can use to change their base urls according to the profile's state but I can't quite get there.

If context.profile.location.stateCode = AL

then www.domain.com/al

else if context.profile.location.stateCode = TX

then www.domain.com/tx

else www.domain.com/

 

I've as far as a good preview but it doesn't work when it gets to the point of assigning the tracking links. If this has already been answered for ACS, I'd love a link to the solution. 

 

Thanks!

-Dave

Final follow up to this. I worked with Adobe support and we found that content blocks are not recommended within URLs. It was a nice thought but URL tracking isn't compatible.

    I got as far as a correct preview with the following content block:

    <% var crdomain = context.profile.location.stateCode;if( ['AL'].indexOf (crdomain) >=0 ){crdomain = '/al';} else if( ['TN'].indexOf (crdomain) >=0 ){crdomain = '/tn';}else{crdomain = ''; } document.write(crdomain); %>

     

    but preparation failed with this reason:

    DLV-490261 Personalizing host in a tracked link requires tracking URL signing ('https://domain.com<% var crdomain = context.profile.location.stateCode;if( ['AL'].indexOf (crdomain) >=0 ){crdomain = '/al';} else if( ['TN'].indexOf (crdomain) >=0 ){crdomain = '/tn';}else{crdomain = ''; } document.write(crdomain); %>/schedule').

    for your content block, you may need to include the trailing / to get it working.

      Great suggestion, @bisswang , that change made it through the preparation stage but then the entire content block was ignored when sent.

        Thank you @parthasarathy but what I'm trying to do is write the content block that decides how the URL should be configured. The code below gives the intent but it definately doesn't work.

        <% if ( context.profile.location.stateCode = 'AL' ) { %>https://domain.com/al/<% } else if ( context.profile.location.stateCode = 'TN' ) { %>https://domain.com/tn/<% } else { %>https://domain.com/<% } %>

         

        Is there a resource for writing custom content blocks?
