Hyperlinks to other competition pages automatically reformat to an incorrect link

[sashaspala]

When inserting hyperlinks in the text editor on the Edit menu, hyperlinks to other competitions (e.g. https://competitions.codalab.org/competitions/22759) automatically reformat to remove the /competition/ from the link.

For example, when I input the link https://competitions.codalab.org/competitions/22759 into the editor menu, it automatically reformats the link to ../22759 on save. Manually adding the /competitions/ portion of the path ../[competition_id] works on save.

I am using Firefox 72.0.1

Hi,

Thank you for reporting. I believe it is normal that the URL got replaced by ../. But indeed it seems to miss to add /competitions/ so we need to fix this.

At least you found a work-around to solve the issue temporarily. Another work-around could be to edit the HTML page locally (with a text editor) and upload it directly when editing the competition. Then it wouldn't be modified automatically.

The same problem got reported in this issue: Smart bug #2377

I attach the original post:

"When we create links in HTML pages, eg page https://competitions.codalab.org/competitions/2321

Round 0: Sample data.
Round 1: Novice level. binary classification problems, dense data.
Round 2: Intermediate level. Multi-class classification, dense data.
Round 3: Advanced level. Multi-class and multi-label classification, dense and sparse data.
Round 4: Expert level. Everything else plus regression.

The smart editor replaces absolute link by RELATIVE links which are WRONG.

For example, I write: a href="https://competitions.codalab.org/competitions/7471"

the editor replaces it by: a href="../7471"

which gets translated into: https://competitions.codalab.org/7471

INSTEAD OF

https://competitions.codalab.org/competitions/7471

I wrote about this bug multiple times. Somehow the Github issues always disappear but the bug remains."

Still the case on Python3 version.
