Weitere Informationen

You can configure how OpenProject handles external links in formatted text (for example, project descriptions, comments, or wiki content). When enabled, external links will be intercepted and users will see a warning page before leaving the application. This helps reduce the risk of users unknowingly opening unsafe websites.

To enable the Capture external links setting navigate to Administration ->System settings -> External links and check the Capture external links option. Don’t forget to save your changes.

Enable warning message for external links in OpenProject administration

Once enabled, OpenProject will redirect external links in formatted text through a warning page.

Example of a warning message for an external link in OpenProject

Links are considered external if they:

  • Are not relative (don’t point to the same server or application context), and
  • Do not start with the configured protocol and host name of your OpenProject instance.
