Hi Guys,
As developers, we alsways like to have a link in the copyright area back to our site but unfortunately some updates you've made is stripping out the html from the copyright area of the template - this has happened with a few updates recently - it would be great if you could get this fixed.
Environment:
Template: Nexio (v1.0.0)
Framework: Helix Ultimate 2.2.9
Joomla: 5.4.7
The Issue:
When attempting to add a standard HTML hyperlink (<a href="/...">) to the copyright text via Template Options > Basic > Footer, the HTML is aggressively stripped out immediately upon saving.
The Cause:
I tracked this down to the template's options.xml file. The copyright field is currently set to use filter="safehtml", which is stripping out valid anchor tags when saved in Joomla 5.
File Path: templates/nexio/options.xml
Current Code (approx line 150):
XML
<field name="copyright" helixgroup="footer" type="textarea" rows="6" cols="30" default="© {year} Your Company. Designed By JoomShaper" label="HELIX_ULTIMATE_COPYRIGHT" filter="safehtml" showon="enabled_copyright:1" />
The Solution:
Changing the filter attribute from filter="safehtml" to filter="raw" completely resolves the issue and allows standard links to be saved.
Could you please update this to filter="raw" in the next release of the Nexio template (and check other recent templates that might share this options.xml setup)? It would save users from having to create a custom module override just to add a link to their footer.
Thank you!
