Show FULL Links

[xzdQITW3l]

Can anyone school me on how to show full link urls in vb 3.6.8?

Full Link urls???? What DO You mean Sorry?

Only way I know of is placing the URL in

 tags, otherwise it will make it a link and abbreviate long urls with a ... in between.

I am also wondering how to make it show the full links without the "..."

I found the answer here. You change those two numbers in those two spots, I think you have to make sure the difference is by 19 like how the original is 55, 36, and the example the guy gives is 80, 61 - well that worked for me the 19 difference thing, works with any two numbers like this. Check your character counts for testing here.

just in case, here are the instructions:

In includes/class_bbcode.php find this code in 2 different places:

      if (vbstrlen($tmp) > 55 AND $this->is_wysiwyg() == false)
{
   $text = htmlspecialchars_uni(substr($tmp, 0, 36) . '...' . substr($tmp, -14));
}

Links must be less than 55 characters long. If a link is longer, this code takes the first 36 characters and last 14 characters of the link and replaces the middle part with '...'.

If you wanted to change the number of characters a link may be to 80, you would change the code like this:

      if (vbstrlen($tmp) > 80 AND $this->is_wysiwyg() == false)
{
   $text = htmlspecialchars_uni(substr($tmp, 0, 61) . '...' . substr($tmp, -14));
}

However, showing only short links can save your ass from leechers.

I started this thread, and I am kicking you in the balls now. I didn't ask if you thought it was a good idea or not. You mods can get angry at me, but you all started picking on me because you just don't know me, no other reason.
