Link transformer config for Adobe campaign newsletter issue

The href <a href="tel:1800813327" target="_blank"> is rewritten

to

Adobe Campaign makes the following call to AEM to fetch content -

https://authordomain/content/campaigns/edm.campaign.content.json

The '.campaign.content.json ' selector servlet forms the html content from com.adobe.cq.mcm.campaign.impl.ContentgeneratorImpl class which uses link transformer config at /libs/mcm/config/rewriter/campaign-link-rewrite to rewrite links( surprisingly, it uses domain name in the exernalizer configuration; and not from sling mapping; should it not be using domain name from sling mappings?) and appends domain name in front of the link

Hence, the href 'tel' is not working ; similarly; mailto will also not work

We have removed 'A' from includeTags in the rewrite config as a quick fix; but it excludes all anchor tag from the config. What is the appropriate method of making the tel attribute work? Can certain attributes excluded from the rewriter config ? Or can the rewriter transformer config be overridden ?

Can someone please help on this?

Try:

To add 'tel:' as a "Special Link Prefix" in the configuration of the CQ Link Checker Service.

To do this, copy /libs/cq/linkchecker/config/com.day.cq.rewriter.linkchecker.impl.LinkCheckerImpl to a config folder under apps (e.g. /apps/myapp/config). Then edit the property service.special_link_prefix to add tel: as a new prefix.

Or Have a look at similar thread:-

H feike_visser,

I added x-cq-linkchecker=valid and x-cq-linkchecker=skip but it did not have any impact, the link it still being rewritten as

Can it be because the link checker service is com.day.cq.rewriter.linkchecker.impl.LinkCheckerImpl while the rewrite transformer for the .campaign.content selector is at com.adobe.cq.mcm.campaign.impl.LinkTransformer ?

I can't disable the entire link checker service as it will disable it for entire instance.

Also; have added 'tel:' as a "Special Link Prefix" in the configuration of the CQ Link Checker Service; but not sure if it is in play here.

Is there a configuration in link transformer config which can make it exclude specific hrefs? Like includeTags of html-parser which specfies which tags to include ?

Not Tested but worth trying:- https://jeroendruwe.be/aem-allow-specials-link-prefixes/

//

Add the following xml file to a config folder under apps (e.g. /apps/myapp/config). in your project. com.day.cq.rewriter.linkchecker.impl.LinkCheckerImpl.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <jcr:root xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0" xmlns:sling="http://sling.apache.org/jcr/sling/1.0" jcr:primaryType="sling:OsgiConfig" service.special_link_prefix="[javascript:,data:,mailto:,#,${,tel:]"/>

By now you should be able to see your new allowed list of prefixes under http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr > Day CQ Link Checker Service

Make it 'unsafe'

We need to disables escaping of are telephone number by doing the following:

href="${linkCtrl.link @ context='unsafe'}

Hi kautuksahni

As mentioned in previous comment I have already tried it but did not work.

If you tried all the documented ways - and its not working - could be a bug. Consider opening a support ticket.

Hi,

We ran into the same issue on AEM 6.2 (with and without SP1, too).

We have the OSGi configurations from this thread already in place (xss configuration, link checker, etc.) and they fix it when getting the HTML on the publish instance or with wcmmode=disabled from the author instance.

However we also get the invalid links (like <a href=\"https://www.mysite.comnull\" target=\"_blank\">) when Adobe Campaign standard requests the HTML.

It can be reproduced by getting the HTML as http://.../myemail.campaign.content.json

Were you able to find the root cause?

Thanks,

Kornl
