How can I show full links insted of short?

[Fenriz]

Hi! Vbulletin automaticaly make all the links as short.
For example,

PHP Code:

http://rapidshare.com/files/36897753/Tyr_-_Ragnarok_-_2006_-__ulver.com_.part1.rar 


became shown as

PHP Code:

http://rapidshare.com/files/36897753...com_.part1.rar 


How can I make it full-shown or get smaller characters in url? Where can I regulate it?

I've been searching the interweb for almost 2 days now and have not been able to find anything related to this issue.

Could anyone be so kind and tell me this too, as im also looking for a solution.

Best regards,
Karmian

Are you talking about how it shows up in a post? It is only shortening what you see, it isn't actually shorting the link when you click it.

[Karmian]

Yes, i want the complete URL to show up inside the post, not shortened, since people with download managers should be able to copy / paste the links instead of having to "right click" -> "copy shortcut" for every single link if there's 20 of them

Karmian, I have exactly the same problem. Thank you for make this thread up

Well I havent figured it out but I can tell you this much, it has something to do with lines 1770-1811 in includes/class_bbcode.php

Thanks alot Xplorer4x4, i have increased the links to allow up to 400 chars in this "patch" before getting wrapped.
Its actually just a number changed from 55 to 400 instead.

Since im far from being a coder, i tried to use common sense, and it says:

// under the 55 chars length, don't wordwrap this

So i thought, why not search for the variable "55" and replace it with something else and IT WORKS..

Find

$tmp = unhtmlspecialchars($rightlink);
if (vbstrlen($tmp) > 55 AND $this->is_wysiwyg() == false)

And replace with

$tmp = unhtmlspecialchars($rightlink);
if (vbstrlen($tmp) > 400 AND $this->is_wysiwyg() == false)

This "patch" or example allows you to parse links, show it fully on the board while being under 400 chars it wont get shortened.

I hope this thread is somewhat usefull for some.
At least it fixed the issue for me.

Thanks again :up: your the best!

I know this is old now - but does anyone know of a way to do this?

I don't appear to find any template with the above code in it (though I'm noob and I guess I might be looking wrong.

I'm assuming this advice was for an earlier version, and I'll need to look elsewhere to make the adjustment for v3.72

Any comments pointers or help you can give would be very gratefuly recieved!

It's not in a template. I believe the person a couple of posts above yours says it's in includes/class_bbcode.php

Thank you Lynne for pointing it out! I didn't have access to the server at the time, but now I have I've found and editted the file and can confirm this works 100% fine.

Thank you all!
