wrong link (if text only) in publicly sharing collective (between collectives pages)

[Thatoo]

Describe the bug
Hello,
In collective, if I insert a link to an other collective's page, if I share my collective and open this collective in private mode (of my browser) using the skared link, then, the link to the other collective's page is either :

• ok if the link is set as "Show link preview" : it is possible to navigate between collectives pages
• wrong (needs to authenticate) if the link is set as "Text only".

For example if I open my collective in private mode using a public shared link :

the first link "Comment trouver un local" which is set as "Text only" will give me a private link so it's not possible to navigate between collectives pages :

but the the second link "Comment trouver un local" which is set as "Show link preview" will give me a public link so it's possible to navigate between collectives pages :

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• open a collective and create page A
• add a link to page B set as "Show link preview"
• share collective A and get a public link
• open collective A in private mode using the public link
• clic on the link to page B : it works

Then

• open collective A
• add a link to page B set as "Text only"
• share collective A and get a public link
• open collective A in private mode using the public link
• clic on the link to page B : it asks to authenticate, the link is wrong

Expected behavior
The link should be public in both mode "Show link preview" and "Texte only"

To respond at this question

In collective, if I insert a link to an other collective, if I share my collective and open this collective in private mode (of my browser) using the skared link, then, the link to the other collective is either :

I think it is normal behaviour only circles member from collective B can access collective B with a link a shared link cannot be accessed if you are not a member.

And you need to share both pages.
In collective B. => Open the page you want to share => share link => Create a public link copy.=> paste this link to collective A.
Now both links are public shared link and people should be able to navigate

Be aware that you will get not a very good experience #2475 and share link is actually broken #2438

Also I cannot reproduce on 4.3.0

I let you try in here : https://bureau.lowtechlab.org/apps/collectives/p/RNnJ7xM9zdTcdGp/Test-10

Go to page 1 and you will see two links to go to page 2 :

• one set as "Show link preview" and you can click on it and you'll reach to page 2
• a second one (made the same way as the first one, using /) set as "text only" but unfortunately, if you click on it, you won't reach page 2, you will reach the login page.

They both work for me (Firefox)

They are in the same collectives so I believe that is why it is working. This would not work if you were sending me to another collectives. There would be no preview and the links would have to be public.

Also i am not using this

This breaks everything ...

They both work for me (Firefox)

Only one work for me on Firefox, Chromium and Tor.
When I click on the second one, it actually doesn't open the link but open a preview and if I click on the button it open a new tab reaching the login page.

The problem is that link is translated by collective to public link in the preview form but not on the link itself.

[Thatoo]

In the example, this link
https://bureau.lowtechlab.org/apps/collectives/Test-10/Page-2-655175
should be automatically translated into this link
https://bureau.lowtechlab.org/apps/collectives/p/RNnJ7xM9zdTcdGp/Test-10/Page-2-655175
as the preview is doing.

[Aveyron-RetD]

I copy the links in here
Landing page => You need to click on the link and the preview to copy the actual links. If i copy the link not from the preview like going Page 1 => right click open in a new tab this is the link i get https://bureau.lowtechlab.org/apps/collectives/Test-10/Page-1-655168 => and this direct me to the login page.

=> Page 1 preview.

=> Page 2 preview

---

Link from the preview (second
=> Page 1 => https://bureau.lowtechlab.org/apps/collectives/p/RNnJ7xM9zdTcdGp/Test-10/Page-1-655168
=> Page 2 => https://bureau.lowtechlab.org/apps/collectives/p/RNnJ7xM9zdTcdGp/Test-10/Page-2-655175

Have you refreshed your browser ?

We agree. The user needs to understand that after clicking on the link, he/she needs to wait for the preview to display and should understand that he/she needs to click again on the preview to open the page and certainly not on the button

All that is absolutely not intuitive otherwise me an my co-workers would not have open this issue and need all these explanation from you (Thank you very much for your time by the way) to get to that understanding.

We believe that clicking on the link should open/redirect automaticaly the page (using the working/public link, not the one going to the login page). Opening the preview and expect the user to click on it is not quiet natural actually.

It might be naive but as the "preview" mode manage to do the translation to public link directly, I guess it should be possible for collective to make this translation also on other type of link.
