Can't create local anchors using RTE
0%
Description
I can't create internal anchor links using the RTE because TYPO3 always prepends links to content elements with the URL with which I'm currently logged in. This is the result I expect:
<a href="#c123">
This is what I get:
<a href="http://domain.tld/index.php?id=1#c123">
I'm creating an email newsletter, but imho this has nothing to do with it. When I look at the source code of the generated page in my browser, all anchors are prefixed. My page does not have a <base href="...">
It makes no difference if I'm using realurl or not, or if I even have a URL record in my system's root page, I have tried it with and without.
# we don't need baseURL here config.baseURL > # we need this so images and other resources are being loaded in email newsletter config.absRefPrefix = http://domain.tld/ # Set this to 0 for local anchor functionality (this doesn't have any effect) config.prefixLocalAnchors = 0
Using TYPO3 7.6
There have been a few related tickets but those were very old (TYPO3 4.x) and are therefore likely to have different causes.
This might be related with https://forge.typo3.org/issues/65934 but using compatibility6 extension didn't affect this behaviour.

Hi!
Can you please describe how you enter those links? Are you using the link wizard?
Updated by David Voigt over 7 years ago
Hi, yes, I am using the link wizard, internal link -> select my page -> click on the little arrow -> choose a content element on the local page.
When I instead edit the links in RTE source view and save it, RTE changes this
<a href="#c123">
to this:
<a href="http://domain.tld/#293">
which doesn't help, either.

Well, in DB it does not store an a-tag but the custom <LINK ...> syntax. (At least in CMS 7 and lower)
So it does not matter what is shown to you in RTE.
It solely depends on your Template (TypoScript) how the links are rendered in FE, but by default a page is prefixed.
In your manual case the domain is prefixed in FE, due to your absRefPrefix.
What is your actual goal you want to achieve? I propose to get in touch with us on Slack to have direct support.

I'm not talking about what is shown in RTE, I'm looking at the generated source code. I need this functionality for creating pages I want to send out as HTML email newsletters (direct_mail, but it doesn't matter). That means, images need to have absolute paths, as do external links, but local links (anchors) absolutely can not.
If I simply remove the absrefPrefix, images lose their absolute path and can't be loaded from the server. In the past, all local anchor prefix could be controlled with config.prefixLocalAnchors = 0 but this has no effect anymore. I think this is an issue that potentially affects everybody who wants to create email newsletters with TYPO3.

Thanks for explaining the usecase. I have to look up the code changes of the past.
Updated by David Voigt over 7 years ago
I think this functionality has been removed. There's a related issue btw, prefixLocalAnchors has been moved to compatibility6, but it doesn't work with the extension installed, either. Edit: I have investigated the code and compatibility6 is not supposed to, or going to bring back "local" local anchor functionality.

I'll put that one on my "agenda". I will try to work on this one during the typo3camp vienna.

I performed the following test with the latest master:
1) TS Setup:
config.absRefPrefix = / config.prefixLocalAnchors > config.baseURL >
2) I added a link named "totop" using the "flag" icon in CKEditor.
Result¶
<a href="/index.php?id=1&L=0" id="totop" name="totop">Test</a>

Not sure how this helps, that's not a local anchor (should begin with # as shown), and you won't be able to load images from the server with absRefPrefix = /

Ok sorry I performed a different test on 7.6.20; please note that I use the standard RTE configuration; I just added as page TSConfig:
RTE.default.showButtons = *
I added a text with media content element and then a link to a content element; results:
on RTE:
<p>Lorem Ipsum <a href="http://typo3.7.test.it:8888/?id=18#37" class="internal-link" title="Opens internal link in current window">Dolor</a> Sit Amet</p>
on frontend:
<p>Lorem Ipsum <a href="index.php?id=18&L=0#c37" title="Opens internal link in current window" class="internal-link">Dolor</a> Sit Amet</p>

Hi,
I think it's not resolved. I've the same problem. Read the original description.
David Voigt have maybe find an alternative solution ?
Updated by David Voigt about 6 years ago
Now that two people have the same problem, maybe that creates enough pressure to have this fixed.
Local anchors are in the HTML standard, and a trivial matter. I would write the anchors by hand, but the RTE "fixes" them. Possible solutions:
- not use RTE
- don't use local anchors
- don't use TYPO3
None of which fix the problem. We have since (it's been over 1 year) moved to Mailchimp.

Lol... pressure is there, no worries, on a lot of work fronts.
But time limitation is there too.
If the matter is very urgent to you, find a (paid?) dev to implement it and things are resolved.
I make my living from paying customers and not from free TYPO3 bugfixing.

In both TYPO3 8.7.20-dev and 9.5.1-dev, local anchors can be set in two different ways:
- first by choosing "internal link" and selecting a content-Element on the current site
- second by choosing "external link" and typing "#ID" into url-field, where ID is the uid of the content-element.
Both links will be rendered the same in FE:
- either "domain/index.php?id=1#c3" (8 LTS)
- or "domain/#c3" (9 LTS)
Both are valid and if there are no other use-cases, the ticket should be closed, I think.
