Hi, we have a forum installed in subfolder, https://www.cuba-platform.com/discuss . The main website has a store located at https://www.cuba-platform.com/store . I would like to share this link in some topic or post of our forum. But Discourse handles this URL as internal, it adds /discuss to the UR…

You should rethink your commitment to subfolder sharing in this manner. It’s going to be painful, forever. I strongly recommend forum.cuba-platform.com instead

Your solution is a pretty good one. Your only other option, I believe, is a custom plugin that adds a route for that address and redirects to the external (to Discourse) server.

You can do this by defining permalinks in admin. In my example, my subfolder is /forum: [Admin_-_Neil_Tests_The_Things] I’m not sure if both are necessary, but I created them to be sure.

Of course! I thought that I’d remembered that permalinks didn’t work this way, but maybe it was that permalink normalizations work only for permalinks.

Thank you, guys, but I assume this is a bug. The forum installed in a subfolder should not change any urls typed manually. I hope this information will help to detect a problem and fix it. Here it is an example: [image] You may see, that the link points to the path out of the forum, let’s say ‘e…

Hi, guys! We have forum installed in subfolder: https://i.materialise.com/forum/ It seems I have similar problem with external links. When user clicks on external link, he gets redirect to our domain with path and query string from original url. For example: https://i.materialise.com/watch?v=<vi…

Unfortunately it does not work for me. I waited for 1.9.0 release to perform tests on stable version. I added both lines without no success. [изображение] Here it is a list of static links from main page of our website, all of them broken. [изображение] When the user posts similar links in ou…

I have a live demo of it working for me here using the above example . [11 AM]

I am sorry, that was my fault. I used www in permalinks earlier. It works without www now. Probably the problem with www is on my side, I will investigate it later. Thanks!

@neil , I have created a topic, where you may check the broken url, it will show 404: [이미지] Broken external link Hi, currently this URL does not work:

You could try permalink normalization site setting. It’s designed to solve a problem that is at least similar.
