Problem with a code when transitionning to node.js version

1

Hello,

I’ve wrote this code on a tiddlywiki in html form and it worked perfectly , opening a mail page with the address prefilled

<a class="AAP_TableTitle" href={{{ [[mailto:]] [{!!contact}get[mail]]+[join[]] }}}>{{!!contact}}</a>

where contact is both a field in the tiddler and the name of a tiddler that contain the email.

But when I put the same code in a node.js tiddlywiki, it stop working, only keeping what is after the “@” in the email, adding a final slash (so domain.org/).
Is there something in the node.js version of tiddlywiki that could explain this break of the link at the “@” ?

edit : a few precision

  • the problem persist it the email is inserted directly : href={{{ [[mailto:]] [[john.doe@domain.org]]+[join[]] }}}
  • the problem persist if the mailto is written directly instead of being generated : href="mailto:john.doe@domain.org"
  • the problem disapear if I remove the “@” from the email… but the address became non functionnal
  • the problem disapear if I replace the “mailto” with a “copy to clip board button”.
  • I am using TidGy for the node.js, could this be the source of the problem ?

I don’t use TidGy, but am on a pure node setup: TW 5.3.8 - and am not seeing the issue.

Ok, so this might be a problem with TidGy.

Do you mean mainto:// scheme doesn’t work? I tried your

<a class="AAP_TableTitle" href={{{ [[mailto:]] [[john.doe@domain.org]]+[join[]] }}}>aaa</a>

and it works, click on it will bring up email app.

Have you try create a new clean workspace? Perhaps some plugin affects you.

The problem persist when I create a new workspace and when I import an empty html file.
I haven’t installed any plugin.
I’ll try on an other computer and a new install of TidGy.

Not sure. You can share your tiddler to ensure you are using the correct wikitext.
