Tiny MCE 4 strips out URL

[jean luc_thibault]

Hi,

I use M2.3 and Tiny MCE 4. When I create a link in a CMS page like this:

<a href="{{config path="web/secure/base_url"}}test.html">Test</a> in HTML and save it all works ok. As soon as I open the Tiny MCE Editor this part of code is changed into this:

<a href="{{config path=&quot;web/secure/base_url&quot;}}">Test</a></p>

So the &quot; is added but more important the test.html is stripped out. How can I avoid this?

Hello @jean luc_thibault 

That's correct ! somehow that test.html is stripped out and not able to showing at backend !

But if you check link on the frontend, link is still present with test.html on the frontend !

So you can go with that approach as of now ! May be it is core bug ! because without {} (braces) if we are passing link directly - then also its showing properly at backend ! so

Hope it helps !

Hi,

Sorry but that is not true. If it is stripped out and you save page, it is really gone also on frontend.

Hello @jean luc_thibault 

No, I have checked that on Magento 2.3 and its showing link on frontend !

Don't enable again tinyMCE editor once you put that link on text editor !

Meaning when you edit any page - click on Show/Hide Editor and on a text editor paste the link syntax and then click on save button ! (Don't go back on TinyMCE editor)

Clear the cache and check it on frontend - it will showcase that link !

Hope it helps !
