Prevent Link/Button Navigation in Builder ✅ + +### Problem +- Clicking links or buttons in the builder redirected users +- Users couldn't edit button text (clicking opened the link) +- Frustrating experience, broke editing workflow + +### Solution +**BlockRenderer (Email Builder):** +```typescript +const handleClick = (e: React.MouseEvent) => { + const target = e.target as HTMLElement; + if (target.tagName === 'A' || target.tagName === 'BUTTON' || + target.closest('a') || target.closest('button')) { + e.preventDefault(); + e.stopPropagation(); + } +}; + +return ( +
+ {/* Block content */} +
+); +``` + +**RichTextEditor (TipTap):** +```typescript +editorProps: { + handleClick: (view, pos, event) => { + const target = event.target as HTMLElement; + if (target.tagName === 'A' || target.closest('a')) { + event.preventDefault(); + return true; + } + return false; + }, +} +``` + +### Result +- Links and buttons are now **editable only** +- No accidental navigation +- Click to edit, not to follow +- Perfect editing experience + +--- + +## 2. Default Templates Use Raw Buttons ✅ + +### Problem +- Default templates had buttons wrapped in cards: + ```html + [card] +

+ View Order +

+ [/card] + ``` +- Didn't match current block structure +- Confusing for users + +### Solution +Changed to raw button blocks: +```html +[button link="{order_url}" style="solid"]View Order Details[/button] +``` + +### Before & After + +**Before:** +``` +[card] +
