[opencms-dev] Absolute links in OpenCmsHtml fields

[Mario Jäger]

Hi Paul,

It is not possible to switch off the link substitution in the OpenCmsHtml field by any configuration.

The link substitution in the OpenCmsHtml field happens in the class org.opencms.xml.types.CmsXmlHtmlValue in the methods 
createStringValue() (called in getStringValue()) and setStringValue() through the usage of the methods processLinks() and 
replaceLinks() of the link processor (class org.opencms.staticexport.CmsLinkProcessor). 

You could try to create a new field which works analogue to the OpenCmsHtml field, but which doesn't substitute the links. 
Thereto, you have to create a new class which extends the class org.opencms.xml.types.CmsXmlHtmlValue and which overwrites 
the methods getStringValue(), createStringValue() and setStringValue(). But, you should create that class in your own module. 
Because, then there is nothing overwritten when you update your OpenCms.

This new field you have to you use in these xsd files of these xml contents, where the link substitution should not happen.

Kind Regards,
Mario.
