What's stopping you from using the full url?

I thought this was a bug back in the day but the system recognises when the link relates to the suite. If you change its location later, the link updates too, so you don't actually need to worry about using relative links.

I regularly copy the database to my local test server so absolute hard linking causes problems when the host is not the same. Furthermore it's just not technically correct to use absolute URLs so I don't see why that attribute enforces it, you could use the pattern tag to allow relative links in the HTML field and add the code to match in the PHP form validation end.

To be clear...this is not a bug, and there is nothing technically incorrect about using full URLs.

(This is not to say we won't consider the suggestion, but I just want to be clear that this is a suggestion and not a bug report)

You're right, previously you had an issue tracker which was a more appropriate place to post such things, why did it go?

The issue tracker you speak of was a bug tracker, and the report would have been closed as not a bug. This forum is the appropriate place to post suggestions for changes in future versions.

Issues are now addressed through tickets, or in some cases through our development gateway forum when developers have identified specific bugs (and often, specific fixes for those bugs).
