Relative URL become absolute on copy & paste

[martinkronstad@…]

In Internet Explorer the relative paths set in the editor become absolute paths if you view source , view wyciwyg , view source.

One last post and I'll leave you alone.

It works properly in Firefox!

Version 1.1 had this in its release notes:

problem with relative links and images

like "/test/test.doc" has been solved. In prior versions, only with XHTML support enabled, the URL was changed to something like "​http://www.mysite.xxx/test/test.doc" (The domain was automatically added). Now the XHTML cleaning procedure gets the URLs exactly how they are defined in the editor’s HTML.

Is there still an "XHTML cleaning procedure" in the current version?

Ok... the original one is preserved. The problem happens when copying and pasting the link.

It still does this in IE. Go to the demo at [www.fckeditor.net/demo]. Click "source". Type in something like <a href="\demo">Testing</a>. Click source again. Then copy the link. Then pasted the link. Click source again. You'll see <a href="​http://www.fckeditor.net/demo">Testing</a>. This is not the desired result.

It has been fixed on version 2.0 RC2.

Moved from SF. Original poster: fredck

Actually the bug has been reopened.

The human readable source code is completelly available in the "_source" folder.

Why has this bug been closed?

It is NOT fixed in 2.0 RC1

<img src="custom/images/james-duke-quote.jpg">

gets turned into:

<img src="/admin/FCK20RC1/editor/custom/images/james-
duke-quote.jpg">

This is a pretty serious problem.

Also, These solutions are all nice but editing fckeditorcode_ie_1.js is nearly impossible because all the code is jumbled together, no comments, no white space, no carriage returns, etc... how am I supposed to deal with that?

The same problem doesn't seem to affect firefox. However, relative path images do not show up in the editor in firefox.

The following solved it for me. It may help you as well:

fck_1_ie.js (Line 92):

FCK.CheckRelativeLinks=function(){
  for (var i=0;i<this.EditorDocument.links.length;i++){
    var e=this.EditorDocument.links[i];
    var RelativePath=FCK.BaseUrl+FCKConfig.BasePath;     

    if (e.href.startsWith(RelativePath))
e.href=e.href.remove(0,RelativePath.length);
  };
  
  for (var i=0;i<this.EditorDocument.images.length;i++){
    var e=this.EditorDocument.images[i];
    
    if (e.src.startsWith(RelativePath))
e.src=e.src.remove(0,RelativePath.length);
  };
};

dialog/js/fck_link.js (Line 24):

var FCKConfig = oEditor.FCKConfig ;

dialog/js/fck_link.js (Line 171):

function LoadSelection()
{
	if ( !oLink ) return ;

	var sType = 'url' ;

	// Get the actual Link href.
	var sHRef = oLink.getAttribute('href',2) + '' ;
	
	// Remove false link href for relative links in IE
    var RelativePath=FCK.BaseUrl+FCKConfig.BasePath;     
	
	if ( sHRef.startsWith( RelativePath ) )
		sHRef = sHRef.remove( 0, RelativePath.length ) ;
   [...]

These ideas will help you, fredck.

innerHTML makes all links absolute?

The real problem is that IE automatically change the URL "test.html" to "​http://your-site/ [FCKeditorPath]/functions/fckeditor/test.html". So the best thing the editor can do is to strip out the "​http://your-site/ [FCKeditorPath]" part or the URL.

I'll reopen the bug so I can work on it for the final version.

Best regards, FredCK

RC1 is great, but doesn't fix this bug completely:

It changes a href=test.html

to a href=/functions/fckeditor/test.html

But that isn't the right place because the editor isn't in the same path as the html file with the ditor on it...

If you could please give me a hint where i can find that in the code, i will fix it by myself for my needs.

Thanks

Version 2.0 RC1 fixed it.

Hi!

I've done some debugging on this one and i have to tell you that you all are looking at the wrong places!

The code ist already wrong after the editor opens!

Do the following in IE: -write some text -mark text -insert relative link on marked text -Send Editor Form and view the html-code -> url is OK -reopen the editor with this html-code -mark link-text -open link-menu -> url is already wrong!

So the html-code gets already malformed while opening the editor. Don't know where the bug is, but PLEASE fix it fast. Its the last real critical Bug for me. I have just started to work with the FCKEditor and its great. I might be able to help with development in a few days when I'm a little more into the code...

I have it set up to where you can add a page (enter a brand- new hyperlink) and later edit that same page - typical Content Admin tool. When I add a page, and feature new relative hyperlinks, Piyo and Alexander's code works. But, when I go back later to make an edit to the page, the hyperlinks are replaced with 127.0.0.1:8500/FCKeditor/editor/index.cfm?whatever. The FCKEditor path seems to be automatically including itself until it is manually updated to reflect the relative hyperlink via the editor. Strange, aye?

The code adjustment works for adding a brand new relative hyperlink, but not when retrieving an already existing relative hyperlink. If you have any further insight, please post. The previous solution is definitely a huge step in the right direction to solving this problem. Thanks Piyo and Alexander!

The patch by Alexander 'alshur' Shurkayev was almost right:

else if (sAttName == 'src' && sAttValue.search(location.host) 
!= -1) sAttValue = sAttValue.substr((location.protocol + "//" + 
location.host).length);

else if (sAttName == 'href' && sAttValue.search(location.host) 
!= -1) sAttValue = sAttValue.substr((location.protocol + "//" + 
location.host).length);

This deletes the "​http://yourhost" part, but it leaves the "/fckeditor/editor/" part. You could just forcefully delete the latter like this:

else if (sAttName == 'src' && sAttValue.search(location.host) 
!= -1) sAttValue = sAttValue.substr((location.protocol + "//" + 
location.host+"/fckeditor/editor/").length);

else if (sAttName == 'href' && sAttValue.search(location.host) 
!= -1) sAttValue = sAttValue.substr((location.protocol + "//" + 
location.host+"/fckeditor/editor/").length);

This "/fckeditor/editor/" is probably coming from the this.BasePath defined int fckeditor.js. It would be better to deelete it genericly (use this.BasePath + "editor/" instead) but I don't know how.

Also remember to reload or if necessary, restart your browser to clear the JS caching.

Verified on Sleipnir 1.66 (IE-compatible)

I tried the two solutions here proposals but none of them worked... :(

It continues placing the absolute path when I switch between code mode and WYSIWYG mode... it places the fckeditor path (​http://.../fckeditor/editor/...). What is problem?

Somebody has some solution?

Thanks.

SOLUTION for relative paths in SRC and HREF attributes for FCKEditor beta 2.

Open fckeditorcode_ie_1.js and replace the string:

if (sAttName=='style' && document.all) 
sAttValue=htmlNode.style.cssText;

to:

if ( sAttName == 'style' && document.all ) sAttValue = 
htmlNode.style.cssText ;


else if (sAttName == 'src' && sAttValue.search(location.host) 
!= -1) sAttValue = sAttValue.substr((location.protocol + "//" + 
location.host).length);


else if (sAttName == 'href' && sAttValue.search(location.host) 
!= -1) sAttValue = sAttValue.substr((location.protocol + "//" + 
location.host).length);

That's it!

Here is some solution: it's need to add function below to fckeditorcode_gecko_x.js

FCK.InsertLink = function(url,text){
	var tLink = '<a href="' + url + '">' + text + '</a>';
	FCK.InsertHtml(tLink);
}
to fckeditorcode_ie_x.js

FCK.InsertLink = function(url,text){
	FCK.Focus();
	var oSel = FCKSelection.Delete();
	var tRng = oSel.createRange();
	tRng.pasteHTML(text);
	tRng.moveStart('character',-text.length);
	tRng.select();
	FCK.ExecuteNamedCommand('CreateLink', url);
};

Tested in Mozilla 1.7.3, IE 6.0

Can confirm this problem. I've even tried editing the source to remove the domain and problem still persists.

To fix this bug in the current version (2.4), go to fckxhtml.js, line 363, right befofe

node = FCKXHtml._AppendChildNodes( node, htmlNode, false ) ;

and add the following code:

//delete host in IE
		if ( FCKBrowserInfo.IsIE && (htmlNode.href.search(document.location.host) != -1))
		{
			htmlNode.href = htmlNode.href.substr( (document.location.protocol + '//' + document.location.host).length );
			FCKXHtml._AppendAttribute( node, 'href', htmlNode.href ) ;
		}

works fine :)

[Jakub Ś]

This is no longer a problem in CKEditor 3.x or 4.x

Please note however that there is also some IE feature/bug that breaks relative URLs ​http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/8022#comment:5
