"http://" content in "add link" text box can be confusing

    Details

    • Affected Branches:
      MOODLE_19_STABLE
    • Fixed Branches:
      MOODLE_20_STABLE

      Description

      Some users ignored this prefix text and typed in their own. This either caused validation errors or corrupted links.

      Why it matters

      It's generally best practice to avoid partially populating input controls. In this case,it isn't a necessary helper for any user, blind or sighted.

      Possible solution

      Code to detect a missing "http://" and prepend it to links is trivial.
