How do I make the links inside CODE BBCode Clickable?

John45 · Post by **John45** » Sun Jul 12, 2015 7:58 am

Is there a way to phrase the links inside the

 bbcode as hyperlinks?

I disabled the [URL] bbcode because a lot of users and spammers love to advertise and it just looks like spam. 

I just love how a link is isolated in a white box; it looks nice and simple.  :D

Not on a standard board. Would sort of defeat one of the purposes of the BBCode.

If you have spam problems consider the sortables captcha extension or the script in my sig which is quit powerful, but you need to know a few things. The sortables captcha would be the best for noobs.

Do you not moderate the first post of new registrations?

What you are doing will be ineffective. It will not stop linked images or magic urls.

Please visit Preventing Spam in phpBB3 for various options for fighting spam in phpBB.

that doesn't make sense. the whole point of the "code" bbcode is to NOT parse links or code etc.

if someone posts a link like this: http://whatever.com look, it automatically becomes a link.

even if you disable the "url" bbcode, that does not affect this process.

not sure what you are hoping to achieve with all this.

If spammers is your problem just stop them from registering in the first place and if it is valid members then warn them about it and ban them if needed.

I think you are making this way more difficult than it needs to be.

luck,
robert

I'm not sure why you guys are being, so belligerent. Can you guys be nice enough to help me phrase the urls inside CODED links?

You would need an extension. Have a look in the Extensions Database. If you can't find one that is suitable you could look in [3.1.x] Extensions in Development, but note that extensions in development are not intended for a live board. If there is nothing there that suits your purpose you could post in [3.1.x] Extension Requests.

No one is being belligerent. The

Code: Select all

 tags exist for the SOLE purpose of allowing code and links to be posted without being parsed.
 
 Perhaps if you told us what you were trying to achieve - the result, not the method - we can help you more.

as was mentioned above, you really should request an extension to do this.

one way to do it would be to edit the bbcode.html file for your style(s).

find this:
Code: Select all
<a href="{URL}" class="postlink">{DESCRIPTION}</a>
and change it to this:
Code: Select all
<div style="padding:5px; border:1px solid #000000; background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0 auto;"><a href="{URL}" class="postlink">{DESCRIPTION}</a></div>
that is not the code box but it gives you what you wanted I believe.

you can edit the css to make the box look like whatever you wish.

Not what i wanted, the problem is that all the links on my board are CODED, so I would have to change all the topics and posts.

It worked on phpbb 3.0.X; the structure may have changed, but there should be a way.

can you give us a link to a post on your board that shows what you are talking about?

It's not just one post, it's all of them; I enacted a rule that forced users to CODE all their links.

Edit: Here's what i want: viewtopic.php?f=72&t=1536535#p12936258

Sorry, but the code that needs to be replaced is different.
