DefaultEmailNotification and Formatter

CMS version 10.5

Im implementing Content Approval and the default notification email has some default formatting with a link "To object" but only links to href="/EPiServer/CMS/#context=epi.cms.contentdata:///2060_2106" without domain name.

Is that a config thing or a bug?

I could implement my own formatter, but i don't really get how (yet)

Sure looks like a bug. The Model.Approval.CallToActionUrl uses:

 public virtual Url GetEditViewUrl(ContentReference contentLink, EditUrlArguments editUrlArguments)
    {
      if (ContentReference.IsNullOrEmpty(contentLink))
        throw new ArgumentNullException("contentLink");
      if (editUrlArguments == null)
        throw new ArgumentNullException("editUrlArguments");
      return this.ResolveUrl((SiteDefinition) null, contentLink, editUrlArguments);
    }

SiteDefinition is null, it will never return the absolute url...

The (SiteDefinition) null shouldn't be a problem becauce it should be handled later in DefaultEditUrlResolver... BUT

Because i do have approvals sequence on block/asset folder on globalassets, the DefaultEditUrlResolver GetSite(ContentReference) is looking for Ancestors and then finds the RootFolder for assets which is not part of an SiteDefinitionen.

Therefore it is always important to have WildCardHost under websites in Admin. I didn't have that.

In an multisite scenario it would preferably be to have site specific assets, so the url would point o the right host.
