[opencms-dev] Links to content outside of opencms

[Roedel, Mark]

If I'm remembering correctly from our testing, you'll even get
/opencms/opencms inserted into a fully-qualified URL if it's on the
server that OpenCMS thinks it controls.  What we do here is create an
"External Link" resource in OpenCMS and link to that from our pages.
OpenCMS doesn't seem to alter the target of an external link.

Subject: [opencms-dev] Links to content outside of opencms

Hi,

When using FCKeditor I would like to insert some relative links to
content not hosted by opencms.

For example I am editing this file:

http://mysite/opencms/opencms/test/index.html

In there I want to link to a document or image at
http://mysite/path_not_under_opencms/index.html

However if I enter hit as "/path_not_under_opencms/index.html" it will
change it on save to
"/opencms/opencms/path_not_under_opencms/index.html" which is not what
I want.

Short of fully qualifying the link (which I'm trying to avoid because
I want the links to work on multiple sites) is there any way to avoid
the "/opencms/opencms" being prefixed to what I enter?

Many thanks,
Andrew.
