Site url added to email receipt was created by mikepritchard

I sure hope you can help me, I have tried everything I know.

I am using Joomla 3.4.8 and Vis forms 3.6.10
When my email receipt is sent some of the links have the site url in front of them.

For example:
apldwa.org/vis/https://www.google.com/ma...0:0xbccf8265bdcc2660

and
apldwa.org/vis/mailto:email@comcast.net

( apldwa.org/vis is the site I am testing on)
but some are right:
www.vectorworks.net/

I have disabled all the editors and changed the link many times but nothing is fixing this.

Can you help?

Here is a list of things I tried:
It is not:
the editors
the Email Cloaking plugin
the php version
the Vis version
adding code to the link will not help.
Turning off all the settings in Vis for the form will not work.
Turning off all sef settings will not work.
Disabling the htaccess will not work.

Hi,

I'm sorry for your trouble!

Is it correct, that you use this links in the result or receipt mail text?
Then this is a problem that comes directly from Visforms.
As you can add article links to the text using the editor button "article" this will add an internal link to the text, which would not work if you send it with the mail without further processing (adding the site url).
This is, why I have a function that "fixesLinksInMails". In this function I try to figure which links are internal and have to be processed and which are not. This is done with a regular expression.

Obviously this regular expression(s) is not perfect.
First I did not anticipate, that a link in the mail text could be an email link (that is why the email link is preprocessed).
Second the SEF Google Link has special characters which causes the regular expression to return false (=internal url)
I think I have to improve this regular expression.
To fix your problem please make the following changes to the Visforms core, which I will include in the next release as well.
Open the file

Code:

administrator\components\com_visforms\helpers\html\visforms.php

Find the function fixLinksinMail
Replace the following code line

Code:

$urlPattern = '/^(http|https|ftp)\:\/\/[a-z0-9\-\.]+\.[a-z]{2,3}(:[a-z0-9]*)?\/?([a-z0-9\-\._\?\,\'\/\\\+&amp;%\$#\=~])*$/i';

with

Code:

$urlPattern = '/^(http|https|ftp|mailto)\:.*$/i';

Let me know, if this fixes the problem.

Regards,
Aicha
