Links in the SVG do not direct to the URL but open inside the SVG

Issue #6 closed
Former user created an issue

Use case: 1. Have a SVG with one or more hyperlinks inside. 2. Place the SVG using this plugin in a Confluence Cloud page. 3. Save and navigate to that page. 4. Click on any shape which is associated with a hyperlink. 5. The plugin will open the link inside the SVG.

Expected behaviour: The plugin will direct the browser to the link.

For creating SVGs, the website draw.io was used. As links only pages of the same Confluence Cloud Space as where the SVG was inserted were used. Those where full, global hyperlinks, no abbreviations.

For privacy and security reasons i cannot place a SVG here, but i can assure you it is reproducable with any Confluence Cloud Space.

This is classified as a bug, because the user can almost always never fully see the target page of the hyperlink (it gets cut off because the page will only be rendered as big as the SVG).

    Dear Max,

    unfortunately SVG Out was not adding the target attribute to links which are not replaced or added by SVG Out itself. The target attribute is needed to allow the link to leave the iframe.

    This is now fixed.

    Sorry for the inconvenience

    Andreas
