Hi,

Which version of umbraco you're using? I'm using 4.7.0 and it's working fine for me.

Well I have few sites in 4.6 and 4.7 and in none of them is working... mmmm I wonder if it is me!

Hmm, doesn't work for me on 4.7.  I highlight text, click Insert Link, type an e-mail address in the Url field, and the link ends up being:  <a href="http://mce_host/my@email.com">...</a>

The only thing I get when I insert an email is http://mce_host/email@email.com I even tried different browsers.

I am starting to look if \umbraco\plugins\tinymce3\insertLink.aspx is using the \umbraco_client\tinymce3\utils\validate.js from TinyMce. Which for what I researched is the script that TinyMce uses to recognize emails.

Cool (not that great though) it is not me!

I made it work! Weird the code in the script was commented out, but so far I have checked it doesn't brake anything (yet). So this is what I did:

Insert the validate.js call in the \umbraco\plugins\tinymce3\insertLink.aspx

 <umb:JsInclude ID="JsInclude2" runat="server" FilePath="ui/jquery.js" PathNameAlias="UmbracoClient" Priority="0" />
    <umb:JsInclude ID="JsInclude1" runat="server" FilePath="tinymce3/tiny_mce_popup.js" PathNameAlias="UmbracoClient" Priority="100" />
    <umb:JsInclude ID="JsInclude3" runat="server" FilePath="tinymce3/plugins/advlink/js/advlink.js" PathNameAlias="UmbracoClient" Priority="101" />
    <umb:JsInclude ID="JsInclude4" runat="server" FilePath="tinymce3/utils/form_utils.js" PathNameAlias="UmbracoClient" Priority="102" />
    <umb:JsInclude ID="JsInclude5" runat="server" FilePath="tinymce3/utils/validate.js" PathNameAlias="UmbracoClient" Priority="103" />

Now remove the comment in \umbraco_client\tinymce3\plugins\advlink\js\advlink.js line 131 so now it looks like this

function checkPrefix(n) {
    if (n.value && Validator.isEmail(n) && !/^\s*mailto:/i.test(n.value) && confirm(tinyMCEPopup.getLang('advlink_dlg.is_email'))) {
        n.value = 'mailto:' + n.value;
    }

    if (/^\s*www\./i.test(n.value) && confirm(tinyMCEPopup.getLang('advlink_dlg.is_external'))) {
        n.value = 'http://' + n.value;
    }
}

You might have to reload and delete the cache to see the changes.

I hope this help somebody else.

You could just add "mailto:" in the URL box when entering an email address.

Oops - don't know how I managed to reply twice!?

True. But as mentioned at the beggining, I am not expecting every editor to know that.

Byron, it does indeed help someone :-) Thanks for sharing your solution!

This issue is still persistent in 4.7.1, too bad, but thanks for the workaround will try it asap!

EDIT: Just tried the workaround, working perfectly, thx!! #h5yr

Add the below script inside the "script" tag in the \umbraco\plugins\tinymce3\insertLink.aspx page

function AppendProperty() {
    var sText = $('#href').val();
    if (validateEmail(sText)) {
        $('#href').val(function (index, value) {
            return 'mailto:' + value;
        });
    }
    else {
        if (sText != "" && (/^http/i.test(sText)) == false) {
            $('#href').val(function (index, value) {
                return 'http://' + value;
            });
        }
    }
}

function validateEmail(sEmail) {
    var filter = /^([\w-\.]+)@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.)|(([\w-]+\.)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$/;
    if (filter.test(sEmail)) {
        return true;
    }
    else {
        return false;
    }
}

and modify the input field like the below

<input id="href" style="width: 220px;" type="text" name="href" value="" onchange="document.getElementById('localUrl').value = ''; selectByValue(this.form,'linklisthref',this.value); AppendProperty();" />

FYI - I added Brian's solution to v4.9.0 a while back, see this issue. Should be working in later Umbraco versions OOTB.

is working on a reply...
