URL in a Ticket?

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know of a way to create a clickable HTTP link (URL) that can
go into the body of a Ticket using Request Tracker V3?

I have tried a few things, including an HREF, but I do not get a
clickable link.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Take care!

Nick

The problem is that RT will Scrub the HTML for you before it is
displayed. I believe you can muck with the ScrubHTML file to possibly
remove the ‘A’ element? Either that, or have a callback that looks for
the scrubbed characters and reverts them before display.From: rt-users-bounces@lists.bestpractical.com

Hi Eric,

Thank you for your info. I can see why this is done, because mail sent
via Exchange is in HTML format, and htmlSCRUB’s purpose in life is just
to allow text through. This makes logical sense. Now, I need to explain
this to the user who wanted the capability.

Take care!
