vB's automatic link trimming - how to modify?
 

Hello,

Here's what Iam trying to do:

My bb is located at pagodentreff.de/diskussionsforum/ and the url is pretty long.

The urls gets trimmed but that doesn't look that nice as you can see here:

I want to have it so that the links look like:

www.pagodentreff.de/.../t311-rueckleuchten-sl-230.html

instead of

http://www.pagodentreff.de/diskussi...ten-sl-230.html


How can I affect the function so that I can do a str_replace? What function is responsible for that trimming?


Thanks for any reply :)

Let me bump that thread ;)

Open includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php

Find:
Replace by:

Could be improved (filename longer then 50 positions for example or always show domain and filename and trim what is in between).

Thanks for your answer :)

Here's what your code now produces:

http://www. pagodentreff.de/diskussionsforum/t939-nip.../t939-nippel-day--2005--.html

Complete with the space after www. ??

It is now how you want or not? Like i said it is just a start.

No, not with the space. I had to add it because vB likes trimming the links so much so my link would have got messed up ;)

The problem is: this little function adds the last section of the url twice as you can see on the example.

Anyway, thanks for your help. It does look better now but I will take a deeper look at it :)

Then you must have changed something more, because this one is working fine on my testboard:
But as you can see the domain name is also cut off, so maybe you could change it a bit to avoid that.

Hi, it's possible to change the link from the post's title or the category to get something like:

and not:
