convert links and emails

[white_devil]

Hello,

I know that phpFreeChat convert links automaticly, but only nicks starting with http:// so if i type "www.mypage.com" it doesnt work (at least for me didnt work hehe) so i made a modification to convert the words started by www. into http://www. so the chat script can convert them to clickable links, and i have added the email convertion too, so if i type my_email@server.com it will convert it to mailto:my_email@server.com

hope you guys like it.

Ok, it will be all in the file "/src/commands/send.class.php"

Code: Select all

line 4, after the "require_once.." and before the "class ..." add this function:

function convertLinks($text) {
      if(substr($text,0,4) == 'www.')
            {$text = str_replace($text,' '.$text, $text);}

       $text = eregi_replace('([[:space:]()(>)[{}])(www.[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_+.~#?&//=]+)','\1http://\2', $text);
       $text = eregi_replace('([_.0-9a-z-]+@([0-9a-z][0-9a-z-]+.)+[a-z]{2,3})','<a href="mailto:\1">\1</a>', $text);
       return $text;
}

//-----------------------------------

//----------------------------------
line 70, replace:
  $msgid = $ct->write($recipient, $nick, "send", $text);

with:
  $text = convertLinks($text);
  $msgid = $ct->write($recipient, $nick, "send", $text);
//--------------------------------

That should work ok, it does for me, and i havent found any bug yet so i think it must work with you too, i know is kind of simple but it works!!

Hope you like it.

I didn't work for me!

for some reason when a URL is typed it does not show in container. Even if it is typed with the http://www. part.

I don't get any error message at all...

Can someone help me?

Does anyone can give me a tip on where to fix this?

I'm not sure, but I believe his patch for for the older beta versions of phpfreechat. I had rewritten the code to do what he was asking and more.

If your links are not showing up, it's possible that it's due to a security module on your host's web server.

Put this in your .htaccess file:

Code: Select all

<IfModule mod_security.c>
  <Files index.php>
   SecFilterInheritance Off
  </Files>
</IfModule>
