AEM- How to make href to accept custom tel: tags ?

Hi All

 

   I have a requirement where I need to add a property in the below format for a tel: attribute as phone number in a tag for RTE. Note :- tel: prefix is enabled in Day CQ Link Checker Service, so normal tel: numbers will work fine. 

 

format :- tel:${someproperty['value']} 

 

 The issues I am facing are below. 

Issue 1) I need to add something like above as the tel: value in the RTE . 

 

 

 

 

 

When I add this, I need this to be visible in my href in the HTML. This works fine when I use @2941342="unsafe" , but I don't want to go that route yet. It might be my last resort. 

While using @2941342="unsafe" 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While using @2941342='html'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What I have done? 

 

1. Added the below regex to /apps/cq/xssprotection/config.xml

 

2. Added this to href attribute

Even restarted the instance . Still I am not getting the property rendered in the HTML. I might be missing something here. Any help is appreciated . 

 

TIA
Veena

Hi Veena

It seems you are planning to read the value from resourceMap but It may not work because of encoded values stores in CRX. e.g. 

<p><a href="tel:${someproperty[&#39;value&#39;]}" target="Target">link</a></p>

you may be able to get through with XSS issue by changing xssconfig file or using context unsafe.

 

I would suggest writing a logic at backend java to decode tel URL and return the actual value along with text e.g. tel:+491520000000

 

 

Thanks

Arun

    @arunpatidar Actually I don't want to print the phone numbers . Another system will read my HTML and replace these properties. So my tel: should have a value something like tel:${someproperty['value']} . Also one thing is correct it is getting saved encoded and when I use unsafe I might have to decode and print it. But I wanted to check if there is any other way other than using unsafe.!?

    Hi @veenavikraman 

     

    Could you go to "Apache Sling XSS Filter" configuration using configMgr and open and save it

    Once done, go to error.log file and check if there is any error related to XSS in updated rules from XSS file.

      Have you tried adding htmlrules as a sibling to your rteplugin node.

       

       

      <htmlRules jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"> <links jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" ensureInternalLinkExt="{Boolean}false" protocols="[http://,https://,mailto:,tel:]"/> <docType jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"> <typeConfig jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" useSemanticMarkup="{Boolean}true"/> </docType> </htmlRules>
