Recently switched to using absolute URLs, and mailto links are being changed to have my site URL at the beginning.

The mailto links do use the antispambot() function, in case that matters.

I suspect this may affect other similar links, like tel.

@crstauf the absolute URLs part is the issue. How are you deploying your site?

As a workaround, if you’re doing deploys via Github repo, you can use a Github action to remove the absolute URL from tel and mailto links. Unless you need must have absolute links, I’d stick to relative links as it tends to be less error prone (in cases such as this and others).

Hey @crstauf,

thanks for mentioning it!

We do work on that here: https://github.com/Simply-Static/simply-static/issues/109

I also link this ticket here so we can get back to it once we work on the implementation!

Cheers,

Patrick
