Public share - cant browse

[xavi-GH]

Describe the bug Linking pages being logged in work, when you make them public you cant. In recent previous versions of Collectives we didn't have that issue.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. create new collective
2. create page1 and page2 at the same level
3. create page3 within page2(nested)
4. in page1 create a link to page3 via: smart selector or drag&drop (drag page3 to page1)
5. both links, being logged to nc account work
6. now, make a public link in the collective you created (root page)
7. open that public link in a private browser, now if you click both links in page1 fail, they open a new tab and request login to nc account
8. you can browse to page3 browsing manually from the left menu, but internal links fail to go to page3
9. if you copy public url link of page3 and paste it into another link in page1, it opens a new tab when accessing from public, but you cant browse pages within same tab.

Expected behavior Internal browsing of links are expected to work as in any other wiki alike app

Hello, this is a known problem...as I (and others) already reported it some months ago! (At that time) I also tried to find and list some common problems with internal links between pages and sent a quite exhaustive report of UI/UX issues to the devs. The main dev opened this issue to track them: https://github.com/nextcloud/collectives/issues/1573 but the work seems not started yet.

EDIT: I'm sorry, as time passed I forgot the right issue to link here (as I opened some of them in a short amount of time) :) The issue above still lists some other problems with internal links but I think the right issue to link here is this one #1490 , that should be opened again!

Thanks for the report @xavi-GH and sorry for the late response.

Can you still reproduce the issue with latest Collectives 2.17.2 and on Nextcloud 30 or newer? Please note that Nextcloud 29 is end of life and no longer receives updates.

I'm unable to reproduce the issue myself by following the steps you described. Given that link handling in the Text editor evolved quite a bit since Nextcloud 29, I guess this got fixed along the way. Don't hesitate to comment if you still can reproduce and I'll reopen the issue.
