# Feature: #87919 - Allow generation of absolute URLs completely {#feature-87919-1667984808}

See [forge#87919](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/87919)

## Description {#description}

A new TypoScript option `config.forceAbsoluteUrls = 1` has been added.

## Impact {#impact}

If the option is set, all links, references to images or assets previously built with a relative
or absolute path (e.g. `/fileadmin/my-pdf.pdf`) will be rendered as absolute URLs
with the site prefix / current domain.

Examples for such use cases are the generation of a full static version of a TYPO3 site
for sending a page via email.
