<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>When the <em>Additional Link CSS Classes</em>, <em>Additional MailTo CSS Classes</em> and <em>Additional Tel CSS Classes</em> settings are all filled in, mailto links end up with the classes of all three link types. Tel links are not affected.</p>
<p>This makes it impossible to style external, mailto and tel links separately by their additional classes. For example, mailto links pick up the external link styling.</p>
<p>There are two causes in <code>js/extlink.js</code>:</p>
<ol>
<li>The additional tel classes are applied to <code>mailtoLinks</code> instead of <code>telLinks</code>:<br>
<pre><div class="codeblock"><code class="language-js">if (hasAdditionalTelClasses) {<br> Drupal.extlink.applyClassAndSpan(<br> mailtoLinks,<br> drupalSettings.data.extlink.extAdditionalTelClasses,<br> null,<br> );<br>}
<li>The additional classes are applied in a second <code>applyClassAndSpan()</code> pass, with the additional class itself as <code>className</code>. In that pass <code>className</code> matches neither <code>mailtoClass</code> nor <code>telClass</code>, so the if/else chain in <code>applyClassAndSpan()</code> falls through to the last branch and adds the <em>Additional Link CSS Classes</em> as well:<br>
<pre><div class="codeblock"><code class="language-js">} else if (drupalSettings.data.extlink.extAdditionalLinkClasses) {<br> // Is regular external link:<br> linksToProcess[i].classList.add(<br> drupalSettings.data.extlink.extAdditionalLinkClasses,<br> );<br>}
<p>Tel links are only spared because of the first bug: they never get the second pass.</p>
<h4 id="summary-steps-reproduce">Steps to reproduce</h4>
<ol>
<li>Go to <code>/admin/config/user-interface/extlink</code>.</li>
<li>Set <em>Additional Link CSS Classes</em> to <code>external-link</code>, <em>Additional MailTo CSS Classes</em> to <code>mailto-link</code> and <em>Additional Tel CSS Classes</em> to <code>tel-link</code>, and enable <em>Place an icon next to image links</em>. Save.</li>
<li>Create a page containing <code>&lt;a href="mailto:test@example.com"&gt;Mail&lt;/a&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;a href="tel:0123456789"&gt;Phone&lt;/a&gt;</code>.</li>
<li>View the page and inspect both links.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Expected:</strong> the mailto link has <code>mailto mailto-link</code>, and the tel link has <code>tel tel-link</code>.</p>
<p><strong>Actual:</strong> the mailto link has <code>mailto mailto-link external-link tel-link</code>, and the tel link has <code>tel tel-link</code>.</p>
<p>Note: with <em>Place an icon next to image links</em> disabled, the bug is hidden. The icon appended in the first pass excludes the mailto/tel links from the additional classes pass. The bug also shows when the mailto/tel icons are disabled, since the links then have no icon.</p>
<h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3>
<ul>
<li>Pass <code>telLinks</code> instead of <code>mailtoLinks</code> when applying the additional tel classes.</li>
<li>Only fall back to the <em>Additional Link CSS Classes</em> in <code>applyClassAndSpan()</code> when processing external links, i.e. when <code>className === 'ext'</code>. <code>Drupal.extlink.attach()</code> always passes <code>'ext'</code> for external links, regardless of the <em>extlink_class</em> setting.</li>
</ul>
<p>An alternative would be to drop the separate "additional classes" passes altogether, since the first pass already adds the additional mailto and tel classes through the if/else chain.</p>
