SOLVED: External URL no longer creates desired link

When using what I will call “special urls” bricks will no longer create the correct link.
This is for 1.9.7 onwards. It will simply open a new tab for the same page.
example LINK TO URL: file:///c:/WINDOWS/clock.avi

Hi Thomas,
Thanks so much for your report, and welcome to the forum!

I reproduced the issue and added it to our bug tracker.
The href attribute is empty in 1.9.7(.1), probably because of the security enhancements.

Best regards,
timmse

Hi Thomas,

We’ve fixed this issue in Bricks 1.9.8 beta, now available as a manual download in your account (see changelog).

Please let us know if you are still experiencing issues.

As with any beta release, please do not use it on a production or live website. It is only meant for testing in a local or staging environment.
