Relative vs Absolute URLS

Hi Avrom,

That's actually been an issue before -- take a look at this thread for more details and workarounds:

Thanks Donna,

That is helpful. But I want the option of using either the relative URL or the Absolute URL. But I'm guessing that's not possible ^^ ?

Cheers

Hi Avrom,

Well, you could always type in the full http:// when you want an absolute URL, and leave it as the default for relative? Would that work?

Hey Donna, I tried that.. it just converted them to a relative URL.

Hi Avrom,

I just confirmed this on my end. If you enter an absolute url with the same hostname as the host you are currently on then tinymce removes the hostname.

Some options would be to trick it by using a hostname that isn't the one you are on. Or... Trying some different tinymce settings. You can set those in /cmsAdmin/lib/wysiwyg.php

Note that fixing one thing might break another (having all absolute urls might be bad news if you need to change the domain). So you'll want to test it well. Here's some options to check.

Hope that helps!
