Plone 5.2: How to avoid magic transformation to relative address?

ksuess · March 11, 2024, 5:07pm

I want to embed an audio.
TinyMCE "insert media" dialog has a text field for the source address.
If I insert an absolute address of a file uploaded in this folderish page, the address is modified.
The address is modified to a relative address 'filename' as it is an object in this page.
This is unwanted as it breaks the (by TinyMCE) generated embed code, which is
…<source src="https://pipapo.com/peterund-paulaudio.mp4…
This is obviously wrong.

As the magic transformation is not done anymore and the problem is fixed in Plone 6.0, where can I find the code to be backported to Plone 5.2. Or where can I find a fix for Plone 5.2 for a single project?

A nice and OKish transformation would be to resolveuid:

which generates an embed code rendering lovely

and it's just audio…

For the records
Plone 6.0 is not touching the internal media url at all:

TinyMCE tries to be too smart with external links

erral

When we enter an external link pointing to the current portal TinyMCE tries to b…e too smart and tries to build an internal link from it Our use-case is the following: In our portal we have many URLs coming from an external database and their urls are traversal based URLs, for instance: `http://portal.com/en/course/slug` where `course` is the view that handles the traversal and `slug` the identifier we use to query the database. If we want to link that URL from some other content in Plone, we need to add the link as an external link, but then TinyMCE starts doing a lot of fancy stuff with those external links and converts them to `../../../en/course/slug` which in the end renders invalid links. I think that when entering external links TinyMCE should just accept anything incoming and let it as is and not try to be too smart.
