[Solved]: Making non-www web address clickable?

[MarianneC]

Hi,

I've noticed that displayimage.php makes any www.somewebaddress.com clickable.  That's great.  However, if the web address is simply somewebaddress.com or something.somewebaddress.com, it comes out as straight text. 

How can I make either form clickable?

Thank you!
Marianne

But what if there is text like I went to school.Commie went away
It will be made url too. I don't really understand why you want this.
Just add http:// to link, I think it will become link too

Thanks Johanz.  In our case, other folks don't submit, so that is less of a risk.  But I do understand your point.

Edit include/functions.inc.php, find

Code Select Expand


        $ret = preg_replace("#([\n ])www\.([a-z0-9\-]+)\.([a-z0-9\-.\~]+)((?:/[a-z0-9\-\.,\?!%\*_\#:;~\\&$@\/=\+]*)?)#i", "\\1<a href=\"http://www.\\2.\\3\\4\" rel=\"external\">www.\\2.\\3\\4</a>", $ret);


change to

Code Select Expand


        $ret = preg_replace("#([\n ])(www\.)?([a-z0-9\-]+)\.([a-z0-9\-.\~]+)((?:/[a-z0-9\-\.,\?!%\*_\#:;~\\&$@\/=\+]*)?)#i", "\\1<a href=\"http://\\2\\3.\\4\\5\" rel=\"external\">\\2\\3.\\4\\5</a>", $ret);

Thanks Joachim - eventually I will get the hang of all this.
