email id and web address aren't converting into links automatically [#1972398]

Hello,

I have enabled wysiwyg editor in drupal 7 and using ckeditor library. When I add email id and web address, they aren't converting into links automatically in full HTML format. How could I solve this problem ?

This isn't normally done by the editor or Wysiwyg itself, but by the "Convert URLs into links" serverside filter on the text format you're using. (I don't remember if it creates mailto links from email addresses, but it does convert URLs when rendered.)

You won't see actual links in the editor though, as conversion is only done during rendering and won't be stored in the database (with the exception of the viewed content caches).

Hello,

Thanks Twod for your reply. but during adding content, when we choose full html, it shows "Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically.". So what does it mean ?

That means the "Convert URLs into links" filter is active for Full HTML and plain text URLs will be turned into link tags when viewing the rendered content. However, the editor may have converted certain characters in the URL to their HTML entity equivalents, like & to &, so maybe the serverside filter won't recognize it as an actual URL.
