Editor URL Glitch

I have encountered an error with both CKEditor and Redactor where external URLs (links and images) are set under the website address.

For instance, type the URL as: google.com And it links as: https://perchwebsite.com/google.com

Same thing with externally stored images, e.g: flickr.com/image.jpg And the image does not appear because it's URL is set as: https://perchwebsite.com/"flickr.com/image.jpg"

This was mentioned on the old forum, but never resolved for Redactor or CKEditor: https://support.grabaperch.com/index.php?pg=forums.posts&id=2702&pc=2

Thanks!

You need to start the link with https:// if it is an external link. The editors would have to have functionality to know that you meant an external not an internal link otherwise. If they don't, then you need to make sure you add a complete URL.

That's exactly how the images are set-up, but it still doesn't work. You can view them correctly in the editor, you can even look at the CKEditor raw HTML and it's correct, but on the Perch front-end, it goes awry for some reason.

I've attached a photo that shows this: https://i.imgur.com/t0c0Htz.png

You should note that this problem is happening within the blog app, could it have something to do with that?

Thanks for asking! Turns out I missed the 2.6.2 update and that fixed the problem. Now I just have to go in republish all the posts. Problem solved.
