No external Links in comments

[Tscherno]

URLs in Comments are not clickable for me... But the option is set to make them clickable...

html inside comments isn't allowed. you will need BBcode and use the [url] tag.

Isn't it possible to automatically make the Links clickable?

You would need to write a HTTP link code parser. My experience is that it only works in 60% of all cases and does more bad then good by transforming links that are no links.

BBCode is the common way to go.

This should it do:

function make_urls($messagetext)
{
var $urlSearchArray, $urlReplaceArray;

$urlSearchArray = array(
"/([^]_a-z0-9-=\"'\/])((https?|ftp|gopher|news|telnet):\/\/|www\.)([^ \r\n\(\)\^\$!`\"'\|\[\]\{\}<>]*)/si",
"/^((https?|ftp|gopher|news|telnet):\/\/|www\.)([^ \r\n\(\)\^\$!`\"'\|\[\]\{\}<>]*)/si"

$urlReplaceArray = array(
'\\1<a href="\\2\\4" target="_blank">\\2\\4</a>',
'<a href="\\1\\3" target="_blank">\\1\\3</a>'
);


$text = preg_replace($urlSearchArray, $urlReplaceArray, $messagetext);

return $text;

}

Should i package it in an textformatting plugin?
