Class gets lost on edit of link

[jnnkB]

I recently discoverd, that if I have a link with a certain class and I change the link or make it external, the class gets lost. Is this intended behavior?

[anthonyjb]

Can you provide an example please.

I created a tool to upload files like PDF's and create a link for them. The link looks like this:

<a class="uploaded-file" href="/url/of/file.pdf">Name of File</a>

If I than edit the link by making it external, the class disappears. Unfortunately this breaks my website because I use the class to than check which documents can be deleted and which I have to keep and because the class is missing the document gets deleted.

You must change these lines of code: content-tools.js

FROM

          if (detail.href) {
            a = new HTMLString.Tag('a', detail);
            element.content = element.content.format(from, to, a);
            element.content.optimize();
          }

TO

          if (detail.href) {
            a = new HTMLString.Tag('a', detail);
            a.attr("class",$(".ct--pseudo-select").parent().attr("class"))
            element.content = element.content.format(from, to, a);
            element.content.optimize();
          }

@tokpl thanks for pointing me at the code that needed addressing, I took a different approach but it was really helpful to have a starting point.
