I’m having an issue with my Laravel project when I try to post new content with an external link in the rich text editor. Instead of linking to the correct URL, it’s adding my site’s URL before the external link, so it shows as everisamting.com /www. test.com.
I think this might be a problem with the rich text editor. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Are external links not allowed, or is there something else going on?
A number of RTE’s will require you to put a http:// or https:// in the link or it will assume it to be a relative URL (i.e. based on your sites root URL)
But what if users just post and add URLs randomly? How can we make sure they’re all correct? It’s just not possible to review, edit, and publish every single post.
Don’t know who made the RTE, but look there to see if they’ve made any updates to it to find if they’ve patched it so that certain keywords (like www.) will force it to actual URLS
