Hi,

Whenever I add links in the code of a WYSIWG (rich text, tinymce) field, it automatically sets the link to root;

i.e.
<a href="index.php">
becomes
<a href="/index.php">

It automatically changes them to root when the html / wysiwyg is saved.

Is there anyway to stop this happening and for it to stay as it was input into the HTML? I.e. i want to add document relative paths.

Cheers in advance
Rob

Hi Rob

Thanks for posting!

I did a little digging around and this is going to be a TinyMCE thing so we don't have as many options there. I think you might be able to get something going with the advlink plug-in but we won't be able to help much with that.

The easiest solution here would be to just type in the path to your files so they are relative to the root.

Instead of just typing: file.html

try going: /path/from/root/file.html

Thanks!

Hi Ross,

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, unfortunately linking path to full root isn't ideal - we usually work to relative paths (relative to document)...

I'll do some digging myself into that plugin - thanks for the heads up

Cheers
Rob
