Adding on to a link from wysiwyg

[Royalmike]

Not sure if anyone is a familiar with CKEditor, but it's an HTML WSYIWYG editor that can be added to a website to modify content. With CKEditor you can do a lot of different things along with making links. When you click the link button, you have a few options, http://, ftp://, https://, news://, and other(for internal links)

 

I'm trying to develop a way without trying to edit the CKEditor javascript, to make it so when the user chooses other(meaning http://, ftp://, https://, or news:// doesn't exist) that it adds a php variable to the beginning of the link.

 

Ex:

 

<a href="test1">Test Page</a>

 

reformed to

 

<a href="<?php echo $baseDirectory; ?>test1>Test Page</a>

 

I've accomplished this by doing:

 

$pattern = "/href=/"; 
$test= preg_replace($pattern, '<a href="<?php echo $baseDirectory; ?>', $test);
$test = str_replace('<a href="<?php echo $baseDirectory; ?>\"', '<a href="<?php echo $baseDirectory; ?>', $test);
$test = str_replace('\"', '"', $test);

 

But when I choose another option other than other it adds it to it as well so:

 

 

<a href="http://google.com">Google</a>

 

gets reformed to

 

<a href=<?php echo $baseDirectory; ?>http://google.com</a>

 

I need it so it only adds it to the other option, not the http://, ftp://, https://, news:// options.

You're almost there! You just need to get your pattern to insert when it ISN'T one of those options.. IE:

 

$pattern = "/href=/"; 

 

To

 

$pattern = "/href=[^(http|ftp|https|news|)]/";

 

The parentheses will actually return you the value that they chose (which you don't need to worry about). The "^" character is a "not" character, meaning when href=[NOT ....], then insert baselink. Does that make sense?

It didn't work. It still adds it to the http, etc. I even tried being more specific with the http, ftp, https, and news by adding the "://" and changing the beginning and ending delimiters to "#" instead(since the slash delimiters would have caused problems with the "://"). I understand that "^" and it would make sense that would be exactly what I want...

 

This is what I tried and explained above.

$pattern = "#<a href=[^(http://|ftp://|https://|news://|)]#";
$test= preg_replace($pattern, '<a href="<?php echo $baseDirectory; ?>', $test);
$test = str_replace('<a href="<?php echo $baseDirectory; ?>"', '<a href="<?php echo $baseDirectory; ?>', $test);
$test = str_replace('\"', '"', $test);
