Replace characters in url when clicking on Open Link context menu

[Alien Interactive AB]

Hi,

I have found a issue when a user opens a link by rightclick in the editor and then "Open Link" due to our customformated links with $* characters. 
I am trying to find a way to replace this characters before the link is opened.

Successfully catched the event in OnClientCommandExecuting but I guess it is to late there..

function OnClientCommandExecuting(editor, args) {
                 if (args.get_name() == "OpenLink") {

                 }
}

Hi Martin,

Thank you for your question and for sharing your scenario!

You can override the OpenLink command as shown below:

        <script>
            function OnClientLoad(editor) {
                Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.CommandList.OpenLink = function (commandName, editor, commandArgs) {
                    var $T = Telerik.Web.UI;
                    var $Editor = $T.Editor;
                    var linkCmd = new $Editor.InsertLinkCommand(commandName, editor.get_contentWindow(), null, editor);
                    var selectedLink = linkCmd.getCurrentFormattedAncestor();
                    debugger
                    if (selectedLink) {
                        window.open(selectedLink.href || "about:blank", "_blank");
                    }
                }
            }
        </script>    
        <telerik:RadEditor runat="server" id="RadEditor1" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad">
            <Content>
                <a href="http://www.telerik.com">Telerik link</a>
            </Content>
        </telerik:RadEditor>

The link href is returned by the selectedLink.href property and you can modify it with the replace JS method.

Please don't forget to remove the debugger :)

Keep me in touch!
