Making registration handle url absolute instead of relative

Currently when an external link is entered into the registration url unless it is prefaced with the https it gets read as relative, which obviously doesn't work. Is there a way to force the output as absolute so that when the user enters www.example.com it doesn't mess up the format?

Hi

Sorry but there is no reliable way for that. So if you use external registration handle URL, please make sure you enter full url (with http / https)

despite making tutorial videos and adjusting the help text to say include https:// , other members still fail to include it. I added some placeholder text as well to hopefully mitigate the problem. Was hoping there'd be a more user friendly way.

Maybe we can improve it. So in case someone doesn't enter http or https, what should be added?

http or https? I ask this because we could not sure that a site is available in https, so I guess adding http should be more safe

Agreed, http seems the logical solution as most sites will redirect to https anyway if available.
Of course then there's the reverse issue of what if someone then includes the http in the text box. It would obviously have to be stripped out.
