Deactivating AutoLinking in RTE editor - Typo3

Question

Whenever a link is typed in the RTE editor, it will automatically be enclosed in an tag and converted to a link. Is there a way to stop this behavior, other than removing each link manually?

I'm not that much of an expert, but I tried to use the "minimal.yaml" configuration for the RTE editor, and It basically done what I wanted since the minimal setting doesn't have the linking option at all, but I need all the other options that are not available in the minimal, and I need the option to create a link manually when needed, just not automatically.

Answer 1

You need to add a custom configuration file for the RTE. Follow this guide to do so : https://usetypo3.com/ckeditor.html

After that, in the removePlugins section, add - autolinking like this :

# Load default processing options
imports:
   ...
editor:
  config:
    ...

    removePlugins:
      - autolinking

Answer 2

What I did, I commented the lined where the autolinking.js actually creates a URL from the typed link and commented that out.

I don't think this is the optimal solution, but it's doing what it's supposed to.

/typo3/sysext/rte_ckeditor/Resources/Public/JavaScript/Plugins/autolinking.js

      editor.on('key', function(evt) {
        if (this.mode !== 'source') {
          if (evt.data.keyCode === spaceChar || evt.data.keyCode === tabChar || evt.data.keyCode === enterChar) {
            //editor.autolinking(evt);
          }
        }
