[Solved] Links to automatically be links

We are over thinking this. If you want to limit this to Jot comments we can somply use a PHX custom modifier and apply it to the comments field. I took the code above and placed it in a phx modifier (a snippet with phx: name prefix):
Then in the Jot comment tpl I added the modifier to the chunk.comment.inc.html file at around line 38

THis worked for parsing any http:// items, the www items are not working. My guess is that there is something wrong with the regex.

Anyway, this is a start.

Edit: this code has been fixed as described bellow.

<?php
/*
 * phx:parseLinks
 */
$t = $output;
// match protocol://address/path/
$t = ereg_replace("[a-zA-Z]+://([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-])*", "<a href=\"\\0\">\\0</a>", $t);
// match www.something
$t = ereg_replace("(^| )(www([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-])*)", "\\1<a href=\"http://\\2\">\\2</a>", $t);
return $t;

?>

Then in the Jot comment tpl I added the modifier to the chunk.comment.inc.html file at around line 38

<div class="jot-message">[+comment.content:wordwrap:esc:nl2br:parseLinks+]</div>

Absolutely Genius! This is working for both www. and http://www. for me!

Now if anyone knows anything about AjaxSearch, that’s the only I’m left struggling with. View relevant post.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it.

I found a bug, it only parses the first instance. That is why I thought it was not working for www. Not sure how to make it work for multiple instances. Maybe we should post this in the in development forum and see if we can get some help.

I don’t understand. . . I’ve got it working on multiple instances fine. See the attached screenshot.

You have single instances multiple times, I mean multiple instances in the same comment.

In any case I fixed it (well found the fix online). The fixed code is in this post.

Oh I see, thanks for the fix - works like a charm.

I think this should really be integrated into Jot, most blog comments these days have this function. Thanks again - brilliant.
