URL encoding in description/comment field

[Deleted user]

Hi,

I want to paste some code(incl url/links) with highlighting ({code}) into description field, so an other colleague can simply copy / paste the code to work with it.

The problem here is, that jira always adds a <a href.. in front of the URL, so the person who copys the code will always get compile errors.

So

What I do is:

{code}
some useful php code and https://www.atlassian.com/<br< a="">>{code}

What I expect to see in the description field/comment field:

some useful php code and https://www.atlassian.com/

What I actually get is:

some useful php code and <a href="https://www.atlassian.com/">https://www.atlassian.com/</a>

Ths is really annoying..I want a code block, I want that syntax highlighting but I do not want to have this <a href piece...

Thats should not be rocket science..?

I have strong feeling that jeditor replaces that link...

Deactivated jEditor plugin and now it works...

Right feeling... Thanks a lot!

Please try {noformat} test linking http://www.atlassian.com{noformat}

Hi, I've just checked on my local jira:

{code:xml}

<test>

<another tag="http://www.atlassian.com"/>

</test>

{code}

and that worked fine. could you please give the example that fails?

[Deleted user]

Hi Alexey,

when we use {noformat}, we dont have any code highlighting within this section, which is important for us to show that this is a code block and not plain text

[Deleted user]

Your example does not work for me. Wenn I copy your example and paste it as a comment, it looks like this:

<test>

<another tag="<a href="http://www.atlassian.com">http://www.atlassian.com</a>"/>

</test>

I dont want that

I am using the Wiki Renderer and thats why it pastes this <a href ... code block.

As soon as I set the Default Renderer, it works. But then you cannot use any of the code formatting tools which atlassian provides (bold, table, background color, etc.)...

[Alexey_Rjeutski__Polontech_]

seems you use default text renderer for your comments,

could you please try to open the field configuration (from here /secure/admin/ViewFieldLayouts.jspa) , open configuration to edit, find the comment field, and follow Renderers link, select Wiki renderer and try again.

What version of jira do you use?

[Deleted user]

JIRA v6.1.7

[Alexey_Rjeutski__Polontech_]

- I've tried on 6.1.7 with provided option - and that worked fine. The same for description. Could you please share the rendered comment / description image? and also the screenshot of it in edit mode?

Writing..

The Comment rendered

[Alexey_Rjeutski__Polontech_]

1. Please add a screenshot with the list of listeners on your system (Administration - system - listeners)

2. Please show the list of renderers for the comment field inside configuration (with screenshot)

[Deleted user]

Cant find the first thing you mentioned with the list of listeners, but this may help:

[Alexey_Rjeutski__Polontech_]

/secure/admin/ViewListeners!default.jspa - there is the list of listeners. That screenshot didn't help.

could you please try to disable jeditor plugin for a moment, check the comment creation and enable it back?
