Drupal WYSIWYG strips file:/// protocol in CKEDITOR












0















Drupal HTML WYSIWY Filter strips "file:///" from hyperlinks even though I have allowed the HTML attribute a[*], what am I missing?



I want to open a local path myserverfolderfile and thus I added the protocol in the link dialogue and can see in the plain text editor that the href is created properly:



<a href="file:///\myserverfolderfile" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">test</a>


but when I preview/save it that gets stripped and thus is not working



<a href="///\myserverfolderfile" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">test</a>

  • I managed to make file protocol work via filter protocol module (see below answer) but only works in IE and only reaches the server path without spaces while %20 doesn't work either.

Filter Protocol module allows adding them, however, I discovered that the file URI scheme (file: protocol) to open remote server location is not supported on most browsers for security reasons Linking a UNC / Network drive on an html page



Unfortunately adding a browser extension isn't always a practical workaround.
