MakeUrlsAbsolute and IECleanAnchors

[HSLaw]

Hi,

I wonder if we can use MakeUrlsAbsolute and IECleanAnchors together?

In our CMS edit page that use the editor, we need to make all URL Absolute. e.g. www.test.com.my/page1.aspx
But when we set that filter, the Anchor will automatically have the path of the CMS edit page.

E.g. 
<A href="http://www.test.my/cms/content_editor.aspx?id=9f81dbc0-4491-4a65-af26-f52bd1c25596#sss">plugged </A>

We try to set IECleanAnchors as well but not working.

What is the correct way to make sure the URL is absolute but the anchor don;t embed the path of the CMS?

Thanks.

Hi,

I tried again and noticed it is actually not working if there are 2 querystrings and it is working with 1 querystring, as demonstrated here:

Thanks.

Hello,

I am aware of this problem and it is already logged for fixing it in our PITS system. We will enhance the IECleanAnchorsFilter to strip absolute anchors with queries in the paths. Here you can find the PITS Issue: Public URL.

You can solve the problem with the following code:

<telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1" ContentFilters="DefaultFilters,MakeUrlsAbsolute"></telerik:RadEditor>
<script type="text/javascript">
    Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.IECleanAnchorsFilter.prototype.getHtmlContent = function (content) {
        var basePageUrl = Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.Utils.escapeRegExSpecialChars(document.location.href);
        basePageUrl = basePageUrl.replace(/:/ig, "\\:").replace(/&/ig, "&amp;");
        var re = new RegExp("(<A[^<>]*?(href)\\s*=\\s*['\"])(" + basePageUrl + ")(\\#[^'\"]*?['\"][^>]*?>)", "i");
        var newContent = content.replace(re, "$1$4");

        return newContent;
    }
</script>

Did this get fixed in a recent version? The PITS issue is not marked as being fixed, but the problem does not seem to occur in the demo anymore.

Hello Dan,

Currently the issue is still not fixed. Note that in order to reproduce it you need to have 2 query strings in the URL. For the time being you could use the code provided by Rumen to workaround the problem.

All the best,

ok - thanx. In my situation, we do have multiple items in the query string. I am using Rumen's code, and it works well.
