    trying out some html

    get your Vanilla here

    how do I make it so that urls are automatically created as a link?
    e.g. http://www.getvanilla.com <-- not a link, but is there an extension which makes it a link?

    If u use the "Text" option and then type http://www.getvanilla.com <-- is a link it would be nice is the HTML option did that as well.

    is there a way to combine both? so users don't have to keep switching back and forth btwn text or html?

    well I already tried it and it doesn't work. It just seems strange to install the html formatter extension when you don't really need the "html" part of it. Furthermore, an average user could get confused thinking that they need to enable the html option to have links in their post.

    I'm confused, selecting "text" format and typing a link (http://google.com) <-- gives a link!? Hmm..that seems odd. Convenient, I suppose, but odd. Presumably, if you select "Html" you know how to create a link using HTML.

    Convenient indeed. But inconvenient from a usability POV, i.e. "text" would imply text only, as is the case for emails. Anyhow, the extension is definitely useful in its own right.

    Guys - that autolinking and the / me function is part of the Extended Text Formatter, not the base text formatter that comes with vanilla. Though this discussion isnt really the place for this discussion.

    ahh thank you, now that makes sense.

    Is it just me, or does this double space everything when using paragraph or list tags?

    Yes it does, that's what AutoP is for.

    The new version seems to break the formatting? I keep getting these errors? Notice: Uninitialized string offset: 0 in /nfsn/content/artmgs/public/forum/extensions/HtmlFormatter/default.php on line 226 Notice: Uninitialized string offset: 0 in /nfsn/content/artmgs/public/forum/extensions/HtmlFormatter/default.php on line 226

    Lovely job thanks SirNot! All clear in my test forum...

    Found a fringe case (possibly, could be something else...) but when I use the <_< smiley in my forum with Html Formatter turned on I get odd results. Is this Html Formatter causing it or something else? Disabling the extension stops the error occurring.

    Same problems occur here :/ Any way to solve it?

    You can easily add auto-conversion of html links as follows:

    1. Add:
    $sReturn = $this->AutoLink($sReturn);
    Above:
    return $sReturn;
    in function Execute()

    2. Add (code taken from the Extended Text Formatter): 
    function AutoLink($String) {

    	$String = str_replace(array(""","&"),array('"','&'),$String);
    	$String = preg_replace(
          "/
    		(?<!<a href=\")<br />		(?<!\")(?<!\">)
    		((https?|ftp):\/\/)
    		([\@a-z0-9\x21\x23-\x27\x2a-\x2e\x3a\x3b\/;\x3f-\x7a\x7e\x3d]+)
    		/msxi",
    		"$0",
    		$String);
      return $String;
    }
    Between the Execute function and the VideoLink function.

    That's it!

    hi there, is there a way to make html default when writing an entry?
  • Mr DoMr Do
    Posts: 379
    its a simple matter to have the radio button be selected by default if instead of text, however, I looked on the addon code and cant find where the radio buttons are created.. maybe someone with addon creation experience can help us out

    The forum should remember what formatter you used last time. Select HTML and it should stay that way till you change it.
  • Mr DoMr Do

    ah right, now that i think about it, it does do that... so unless you want to turn off text formatter, or absolutely need it to be html default first time, it should be best as is
