I can't seem to get Umbraco (version 4.6.1) to stop stripping out the local domain name from URLs entered in the HTML (or UI) using the RTE. This is a problem because I am providing links to RSS readers. For example:
Sébastien, unfortunately I never did get this to work in the RTE. Since it was only a problem for me on one particular page, I solved the issue by creating a doctype for the page where the body text uses a "textbox multiple" control rather than the RTE. This means I have to enter raw HTML into the control rather than having the nice rich text editor but the page rarely changes so for me it's not an issue anymore.
You can bind the Umbraco website to two different domains (www.yourdomain.con and for instance admin.yourdomain.com).
If you log into umbraco using admin.yourdomain.com/Umbraco/ you can easily insert absolute URL to www.yourdomain.com using the standard umbraco controls.
By logging into a different domain, the remove_script_host configuration does not recognize your primary domain, so the URL remains absolute ;-)
How to preserve domain name in links
I can't seem to get Umbraco (version 4.6.1) to stop stripping out the local domain name from URLs entered in the HTML (or UI) using the RTE. This is a problem because I am providing links to RSS readers. For example:
<a href="http://feedly.com/#subscription/feed/http://www.fcps.net/tools/rss-feeds/feature-articles">
When I save the edit, Umbraco (or TinyMCE) removes "http://www.fcps.net" from the string, leaving an invalid RSS link to get sent to Feedly.
Some have suggested in other threads changing two settings in the TinyMCE config:
convert_urls=0
remove_script_host=0
This does not seem to have any effect. Surely there must be a solution to this. Can anyone help?
I have this issue also, interested in workarounds!

Thanks Pete, this is my current workaround. I feel like a veryvery bad person now :)
