XF 1.2 Relative Links in Redactor

[SignTorch]

When I try to make a relative link like "/community/resources" in redactor

it always comes out like http:///community/resources

whether I use the link button or bbcode, even if I disable listeners in config

is that normal?

Yes, we don't allow relative links.

alright, that's good to know, I was worried I caused that,

For reference may I ask why relative links are not allowed?

That's making it hard to develop/test content with internal links on localhost .

 

[Mike]

It's really just a design decision that was made. There are some situations where there is no base URL or there's an ambiguity, so the requirement of absolute URLs resolves that.

ok thanks, I did a little fix to replace localhost with the domain name, that's working out ok....
