AEM 6.5.6/Day CQ Linkchecker +Handlebars: a/link tag is getting stripped
As above. When I looked at the rendered HTML, the <a> tag is missing completely.
This is my HTML code:
<h3>{{PRODUCT_CATEGORY}}</h3>
<h3><a href="{{PRODUCT_URL}}" x-cq-linkchecker=“valid”>MY LINK HERE</a></h3>
I looked at the logs and the error is because of the linkchecker service
com.day.cq.rewriter.linkchecker.impl.LinkCheckerImpl Ignoring malformed URI
This should not be a problem (theoretically) because I followed all the 3 suggestions on this page: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-cloud-kcs/kbarticles/KA-16563.html?lang=en
- I added x-cq-linkchecker=“valid” in my link tag. As a test, I tried "valid" and "skip". I got the same result.
- I disabled link checking in Day CQ Link Checker Transformer service
- Added ^ to the Link checker override patternsAD
additional info:
- localhost:4502/etc/linkchecker.html has no entries/records
- Day CQ Link Checker Task/Scheduler Period = 3600 seconds (though I do not this should matter since I supposedly disabled link checking?)
