Send email: Using {event_link} as URL for link not properly formatted

[paulmenzel]

Indico 3.2.2

Using Send email, in the email body using Ctrl +k to make Indico-Instanz a link to {event_link}, the link in the resulting email is not properly formatted:

Über die https://events.hifis.net/e/808 <<a href=>">Indico-Instanz kannst Du Dir die geplante Zeit anzeigen lassen.

From the email message source:

=C3=BCr die IT4Science-Days diesen September beim MDC in Berlin-Buch. =C3=
=9Cber die <a href=3D"&lt;a href=3D" title=3D"2. IT4Science-Days 2023">http=

e Zeit anzeigen lassen. Sollte der Zeit nicht passen, gib uns bitte =C3=BCb=

{event_link} is already a full link, not just the URL:

class EventLinkPlaceholder(Placeholder):
    name = 'event_link'
    description = _('Link to the event')

    @classmethod
    def render(cls, event, **kwargs):
        return Markup('<a href="{url}" title="{title}">{url}</a>').format(url=event.short_external_url,
                                                                          title=event.title)

We could add {event_url} as well, but I'm not sure if most users would understand how to use that in the WYSIWYG HTML editor...

Thank you again for an answer with the reference to the code. Awesome!

I guess, it’s a documentation problem then. I was wondering why it wasn’t named event_url. event_url would be useful for people wanting to use another text for the link.

hmm i think in some other place (iirc in one of our custom plugins) we have {event_link:custom title here} (or something like that) which then generates the HTML link with a custom title. doing the same here wouldn't be too hard

Awesome. Thank you.
