Spin Link not allowed

Hi!

I am using links such as

<a href='{http://www.url.com|http://www.url2.com}'>anchor</a>

and the result with HtmlPurifier is:

<a>anchor</a>

How can I fix it?

Don't do that? What are you really trying to do?

It is called article spinning and I have a script that needs to use that syntax on the href.

Why the result is anchor and Can I fix this problem?

Thanks.

Because you haven't told me what article spinning is and the syntax you've come up with is nonsense and unsupported by any major browser. Do you mean there's a script that takes links of this form and transforms them to something else? Can you run that before HTML Purifier?

The text will be saved on a database and then processed with a PHP Script. So I need to save the "Spin Version" on a database. It's possible to fix this problem or it's not possible?

Thanks.

Not easily, you'll have to modify some code...

Where I can start to search? What file should I edit?

You'll need to change the behavior of the 'href' AttrDef for the 'a' tag.

http://htmlpurifier.org/docs/enduser-customize.html

You'll need to define a new AttrDef which supports spin link syntax. Then there are a bunch of ways you can add it in but probably $config->getHTMLDefinition()->info['a']->attr['href'] = your_new_class is easiest.

Can I simple disable every check on anchortext?

You do not want to do that. It will make you vulnerable.

It's not a problem because the custom CMS is only for few people (3-4) and it's for an internal use

Why do you need HTML Purifier then?

To clean the dirty code pasted from word

Sure. You can probably disable the check on anchors by using HTMLPurifier_AttrDef_CDATA or something

Can you show me an example? I just read the link but I don't understand what to do :S

Can you tell me what file should I edit?

Marck, unfortunately, I can't go into much more detail without actually writing the thing out, and unfortunately, it's so specific to your use case that I'm not willing to spend that time. If you want, you can hire me to do this customization, but otherwise you need to read some code.
