How to disable URL shortening on links or change it?

[WWu777]

Dear support,
I saw on other older threads that to disable URL shortening or increase the URL length before they are shortened, you edit this file: "includes/function_content.php".

viewtopic.php?p=8114415#p8114415

Code: Select all

$short_url = (strlen($url) > 300) ? substr($url, 0, 39) . ' ... ' . substr($url, -10) : $url;

However, I tried that and changed the 300 value but nothing happened.

Does this still apply to phpbb 3.2? If not, what's the code to change to apply it to phpbb 3.2? I don't want to disable URL shortening. I just want to increase the length of URL's before they are shortened. Thanks.

Thanks. But I just want to increase the default length at which the link will be shortened. Not show the whole link. The default is 55 characters right? How do I increase it? I tried to change the 55 number on that code to something higher but it didn't seem to work.
