links not wrking in SP PB addon: "Image Layouts"

Asked by Orlando Browne 2 years ago Last activity 2 years ago

Hi I'm having some trouble with the SP PB addon: "Image Layouts"
In the addon you have 3 places where you can place an URL for linking to....but...

THE ISSUE:

I create a link in the text editor that is in the addon... (see portion of code below between xxxxx and xxxxx)...

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

<br><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="/https://www.nca.nl/lichamelijke-klachten/">Bekijk meerdere klachten</a>

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I would expect this code to make available a link to the url in the front end. However I experience that the link that gets created is not active.
(the arrow pointer does not change into a finger pointer on hover, and also... kliking on the link does nothing).
The same applies to the BUTTON link... (you fill in the URL,but the link is not active)
Is this a Bug? or an I doing somthing wrong?

My configuration:

  • WAMP
  • PHP 8.1.23
  • Apache 2.4.39
  • MariaDB 10.11.5
  • Joomla 4.4.0
  • -SP Pagebuilder 5.1.7
  • Helix Ultimate 2.0.18

Hoi Orlando,

maybe add links without https just use link aliases, for example,

lichamelijke-klachten

Hi Paul,

I do not follow your answer.
There are 3 options to apply a link:

  1. On the image. > That works using: https://www.nca.nl/lichamelijke-klachten/
  2. By inserting a link with the editor. Herby I write the tekst, select a word (or words) click on the link icon and insert https://www.nca.nl/lichamelijke-klachten/ in the option field. >>> The resulting link (alias) does NOT work.
  3. By using the provided button option: When I insert https://www.nca.nl/lichamelijke-klachten/ into the button link, choosing tab "URL" and Open in new tab, The Button does not react on hover or click.

It seems that only the image option works!

using the same link: https://www.nca.nl/lichamelijke-klachten/
While the other two options do not work using the same link.

So i do not understand.

(ps I also tried in a different browser to check any browser cache issues)

Q: in configuration.php file have you set website URL?

Q2: What editor you are using: TinyMCE or JCE? If JCE, what version?

Q1: in configuration.php file have you set website URL?

Not sure I have. I looked through my configuration.php and could not see any such setting.
But maybe i do not know where to look.
Where would i find that setting?

Q2: What editor you are using: TinyMCE or JCE? If JCE, what version?

In my Joomla Global configuration the default editor is set to "Editor - JCE"
(However, in the addon I do not see JCE appering. In the addon, only a very simple editor is available)
My installed JCE version is "Pro, 2.9.54"

I will test with other editor setting in global config and see what happens.
I tried with TinyMCE and none.. But regretfully same issue.

Q1: OK

Q2: SO if you have JCE there, check if JCE do not add extra "/" before https in link. Switch to SourceCode mode (icon) in JCE toolbar to be sure.

Q2: SO if you have JCE there, check if JCE do not add extra "/" before https in link. Switch to SourceCode mode (icon) in JCE toolbar to be sure.

So here is what I did to test about theory.

  1. Created a new article in Joomla (in JCE editor mode)
  2. Wrote the word: "test"
  3. Selected the word test and clicked on the link icon in JCE
  4. inserted te URL "https://www.nca.nl/lichamelijke-klachten" in the field.
  5. RESULT .... I could see a link (alias) "Test" was created.
  6. Then I switched on the code Tab in JSC to check the JCE-generated code.
  7. The code is as follows: <a href="/https://www.nca.nl/lichamelijke-klachten">test</a>
  8. SO...... No an extra "/" is not generated in front of the inputed url.

Hmm, I have no idea in that case. Probably the only reasonable option would be to use links without https in the text area.

BTW

In Text addon do you have this same problem or not?

Hi Paul,
Good analysis question...
No, in the text add on all is working as it should. Even with Https://
Also the "button" option does not work either...

So my conclusion is that somthing is off with the "Image Layout" addon...

Could you reproduce the issue i describe? Is the addon workin ok for you?
Because if yes..... then I need to deep dive in my settings....

Anyone else out there having this issue?

I don't see any extra "/" in source code of that addon.

I played with SPPB 5.1.8 (that is current for public) and SPPB 5.1.9 beta

info_1806_2023.jpg

and linked word in Content area has normal URL without extra "/" on frontend.

So I cannot reprodue issue on current version of SPPB 5.1.8+

Further analysis shows the following issue(s) with the "Image -Laypout" addon...

  1. In only one layout that provides a link-button, the button actually works.
    The only one that works i option number 1 (Top left).

When i create a layout with option 1 and insert "https://www.nca.nl/lichamelijke-klachten" as the target for the buttton, it works fine.

However is I switch to option 3 (second row, first column) and save, then the button suddenly does not work anymore. And this is the same for all the other layout options with a button in the layout.
@ Paul....
Can you select layout otion number 3 and do the same?

Try the in text link option and also the button option as well.
Both of those do not work for me when using layout option 3.

Only layout option 1 works.

Can the SP Pagebuilder engineers take a comarison look at the code?

And maybe this is also an element worth mentioning...
I work only from back-end editor..

Hi,
Is there anyone out there that can help me verify if the issue I am facing is a bug in the "Image Layouts" addon in SP Pagebuilder?

Please check the following:
