Hi Experts: I have been using opencms 6.2.3 (Tomcat 4.1, MySQL 5, Apache 2.2). Suddenly, after saving, the editor changes every internal link I place in a html file pointing to a resource in the workplace. to the fullpath starting from root level, for instance: <a href="dir1/file.doc">go to file</a> I save and the link changed to <a href="/full/path/from/root/level/dir1/file.doc">go to file</a> it shouldn't matter I know but, there is always a but, when I publish the resource the path gets worst, it looks like: http://myhost.com/export/sites/default//full/path/from/root/level/dir1/file.doc of course the sorce is unrechable in the online project for the offline no problem at all. Any help is appreciatted. best regards, arian |

Hi, just as a hint, if you work with the wysiwyg Editor try using Link Galleries, then you will see how opencms works. hth Regards Achim ---------------------------------------- -- /** * Joachim Arrasz * OpenSource Solutions * Synyx GmbH & Co.

Hi Achim: Thanks for your reply, it was useful. I instructed users to use Download Galleries instead of upload downloable files (tgz, pdf, tar) into the location they wanted to. In such a way OpenCMS doesn't get it wrong when publishing-rewriting urls. On the other hand, in my humble opinion, I think it is a bit of an anarchy from opencms HTML editor to rewrite internal uri after saving, even links to other html in any offline project. It definitely will not confuse me anymore (thx to you) but regular users get frustrated when their clean hyper-reference to "dir1/somefile.html" get overwritten to "/root/path/dir/dir1/somefile.html". This a reference to an internal html-resource in the workplace not an external link, which as you pointed should be packaged in the external link gallery. Please correct me, is there the need in opencms 6.2.3 to start any internal reference with the trail symbol ("/")?. If it is so, are relative links between html files not-relative anymore?. As you see these are some questions that users can do, included myself, because, I think, move a bit away from what they are used to when creating html files. May be this post is much of html-philosophy than a real problem of Openmcs. Your reply certainly help and that's also the point: make things work with the tools Opencms provides. Best regards, arian

Hi, hm, here is also better to use the Download Gallery Feature because without them it's quite difficult to handle rights management. On the other hand... if you have to ensure that opencms will not recreate the pathes you should inspect opencms-modules.xml afair there is an option to restrict this link rewriting, which is a feature ... not a bug :) hth Regards Achim ---------------------------------------- -- /** * Joachim Arrasz * OpenSource Solutions * Synyx GmbH & Co.

Hi Achim: Glad that you are still replying to this post. I am still looking for the link replacement option in opencms-modules.xml. I am probably overlooking something or the reference to such property is not straight-forward. Before this reply I looked into in any of the opencms config files the most accurate match to something regarding relative links. I found it in opencms-importexport.xml In the staticexport section <userelativelinks>false</userelativelinks> I changed it to true but nothing happened. I googled for a while as well. Please if you could supply me with some link where this rewrite feature is documented I'll appreciated. tia, arian |

Hi Pincho, I found out, that using the fckeditor-link-icon instead of the opencms-link-icon does not change the link. And the links are only replaced, if you edit a link, not if you create a new one (and never touch it again). Can you confirm that? Furthermore I found out, that the latest version of fckeditor (2.4.2) does not have this kind of behavior. I wrote a howto for updating the editor version in opencms. You can find it in this forum. Unfortunately only in german. HTH Veggie |

Hi Veggie: Thanks for your reply.
I have set FCK editor as default for my HTML files. How can I diferenciate a fckeditor-link-icon from opencms-link-icon?. When I edit a page I am assuming that every icon showed belongs to fckeditor. I tried to create new links in three different ways in order to check what you asked. Using the link-icon to a resource in the same directory, to a different directory (never setting root trial something ike "../go/toresource.html") and manually inserted in the HTML code (source editing) a reference to the source itself. In all three the editor changes the path starting from root level.
I'll take a look and try. My german is worst than my english (which is already bad) but probably some online translator will help me. By the way things are getting worst than I thought, the preview icon -which now I don't really know to whom belongs fck or opencms- is not having any effect, it returns a blank page. I don't want to open a new thread with this. So I'll try as soon as I can to find more information on fck options and preferences. thank you very much once more, arian |

Hi Veggie: I realized a part of what you meant
opencms-link-icon is the one w.o. the world above. Let say, used for internal reference in opencms workplace. So any other is fck-related. Well then... fck related icon not working. The file Browser opened when I click on the fck-link-icon is empty so my folder tree seemed to be empty for fckeditor. The only thing available is the folder creation buttom which, in some way, function but, when done, yet not visible (the folder) in the fck File browser. The folder is indeed created at root level in my VFS. Regards and TIA for your help, aarian |
