How to get href="tel:phonenumber" working?

[anjali_biddanda]

Hi,

I've seen your discussions in https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1127899 regarding the same.

I'd already tried adding 'tel:' to 'Special Link Prefix' in CQ Link Checker Service configuration. I've also tried adding x-cq-linkchecker="skip" to the <a> tags. I'm using AEM6. I'm using a sightly template - does this x-cq-linkchecker="skip" work in Sightly?

I've followed your steps and added a com.day.cq.rewriter.linkchecker.impl.LinkCheckerImpl under /apps/<myapp>/config, and no luck!

I've also tried turning off linkchecker entirely by disabling it in Day CQ Link Checker Transformer. And this has no effect! 

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Not sure what exactly going on, Can you tell me how you are trying to verify whether its working or not ?

Try writing this component in JSP and see if it works. It may be a Sightly issue.

I tried to create a link with the protocol "tel" in Geometrixx and it worked perfectly (was rendered as link, although my desktop browser cannot cope with it). How does the system behave when you create such a link? Is there something in the logs?

kind regards,
Jörg

You need to overlay /libs/cq/xssprotection/config.xml in apps and modify the configuration, specifically the "offsiteURL" regular expression on line 58 (in 6.1).

<regexp name="offsiteURL" value="(\s)*((ht|f)tp(s?)://|mailto:)[\p{L}\p{N}]+[\p{L}\p{N}\p{Zs}\.\#@\$%\+&amp;;:\-_~,\?=/!\*\(\)]*(\s)*"/>

You can change to:

<regexp name="offsiteURL" value="(\s)*((ht|f)tp(s?)://|mailto:|tel:)[\p{L}\p{N}]+[\p{L}\p{N}\p{Zs}\.\#@\$%\+&amp;;:\-_~,\?=/!\*\(\)]*(\s)*"/>

edubey, it's when I add a link to text inside a rich text editor (out of the box Text component). See my previous reply to Jorg.

Thanks.

leeasling!!! Thank you thank you!!!! This hasn't been mentioned anywhere else. That worked like a charm.

Hi Jorg,

Thanks for trying on geometrixx. When I try it in Geometrixx, the href is not added for the <a> because the href value entered could not be processed. (see logs below). But when i enter mailto: which is one of the prefixs, then it works as expected and the href is added to <a>. See attachments. I've created a com.day.cq.rewriter.linkchecker.impl.LinkCheckerImpl under /apps/<myapp>/config.

@anjali, thanks for screenshots

I have created simple components, it seems to working fine with geometrixx site.

Please download : Text Component

One Suggestion: I didn't changed any configuration and setting to make this work, so please revert all your changes.

let me know how it goes.

Hi,

looks like the embedded antisammy doesn't like your input. You might check the antisammy config at /libs/cq/xssprotection/config.xml. But antisammy does not check the protocol string (and you provided the proper config to the Linkchecker, so I am slightly confused here.

kind regards,
Jörg
