Hi
am working on a custom code, but for some reason joomla adds the joomla site address to the start of the hyper link.
IE <a href=" www.google.com ">Google</a> woudl come out siteaddress.com/www.google.com
does anyone know how to stop joomla from doing this?
Thanks

- By default Joomla doesn't have that behavior. Did you install any 3rd party plugin? Could you please provide us your website link?

Hi
Yes it is a custom plugin i am working on. when I try and use the href to create a hyperlink joomla changes the link with the internal site address.
Wondering if anyone has seen this with a custom component?

- Could you please send me a PM with your Joomla SuperAdmin and could you please send me a PM with your FTP details point to your Joomla root folder, so I can check your custom plugin code?

<a href=" www.google.com ">Google</a>When that has happened to me it is because I forgot to put the http:// at the start of the address.
Can you just change to <a href=" www.google.com ">Google</a>? - Kathy

the funny thing is that when viewing the HTML code for the site it looks correct:
IE: <a target="_blank" href="/www.google.com"> www.google.com </a>
but when mouse overing the hyper link joomla adds the website address;
IE:
websitename.com/www.google.com
Anyone got another other tips?

The HTML code you provide is showing where your problem is.
After the href= you need to put in http://
http:// always comes before www.whatever.com when you are coding links. Hope that helps! - Kathy
