Not sure where this fits so, trying here. It's a duplicating text issue. I've just discovered something odd with hyperlinks, copy and paste.
I have many pages where I have to duplicate text and hyperlinks (such as a general text with a hyperlink to a color chart) in the product description.
I use a relative hyperlink to the appropriate page.
I'll go into admin to edit the product, copy the portion of the Product Description that I need and then edit the new product and paste in the text.
Now, when I edit the product to copy the hyperlinked text, it copies as an Absolute hyperlink with my Admin folder in the path. So, when I go to edit another product and paste into the product description, the hyperlink pastes in as an Absolute hyperlink with my Admin folder in the URL.
Example:
I copy my hyperlinked text which for this example is:
COLOR CHART (the URL is: <a href="index.php?main_page=page&id=2" title="Color Chart"> )
I go to paste the text in the new product's product description and it pastes in as:
COLOR CHART (the URL changes to: <a href="http://mydomain.com/zcart/MyAdminFolder/index.php?main_page=page&id=2" title="Color Chart">Color Chart</a>
This of course makes my admin folder known if you look at the products that have hyperlinks in the product description.
I can go in and edit the product text and change it to a relative URL and remove my admin folder and it stays that way just fine.
Any ideas or something I am doing wrong with copying product descriptions with hyperlinks? Thanks.
