In a multisite that uses subdirectories, the link field will change a correctly-formed relative link into something incorrect. For example, if I'm in a site called example.com/subsite and I create a link in a link field to the URL /subsite/node/1 this URL will render as /subsite/subsite/node/1. The only way to get a working relative link is to omit the site name when forming the relative URL (/node/1).
This is different behavior than what happens in a CKEditor text field. In that field, a relative URL works as intended without the additional site name being appended. With this contrasting behavior, it's difficult to teach an end-user how to properly form a relative URL when it changes based on the input method.
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a multisite that uses subdirectories for each site
- Enable the link module
- Create a content type that includes a link field
- Create a relative link within that link field that references a page in the multisite directory
If a link is relative and contains the site name after the initial /, don't prepend the site name.
