> Problem:
> Scenario 1:
> - domain (www.example.com) and subdomain (sub.example.com) in the same
> page tree
> - editor logins in BE using www.example.com (this is important!)
> - editor attempts to insert an external link to www.example.com in the
> article inside sub.example.com
> - the link is seen in RTE HTML source properly (<a
> href="http://www.example.com/foo/bar/file.php?id=123">) [^]
> - when CE is saved, link is transformed to <link
> foor/bar/file.php?id=123> (check with phpMyAdmin)
> - when page is shown on the sub.example.com link becomes
> http://sub.example.com/foo/bar/file.php?id=123, [^] which is a wrong
> non-existing URL!
> The desired outcome: domain portion is *not* removed on save in RTE if
> it is present.
>
> Scenario 2:
> 1. Create a multidomain environment with www.bla.com and www.blubb.com
> 2. Create a content element on a page in www.bla.com.
> 3. Create an external link to a page on the other domain www.blubb.com,
> e.g., http://www.blubb.com/en/test.html
> 4. Save content element
> 5. View the page with the content element. The link will point to
> http://www.bla.com/en/test.html
>
> Solution:
> When a link is set using the "External url" tab of the link dialogue,
> add custom attribute external="1" to the link.
> Use the presence of the custom attribute to determine that the url
> should not be modified on the way to the database whether the link is
> transformed in LINK tag or not.
> When transforming the link or a tag on the way to the RTE, add custom
> attribute "external" so that the RTE recognizes that the url should be
> treated as external.
