Multiline URLs no longer work?

[jage]

One of my users is asking about multiline URL entries, such as:


Jeremiah Johnson


OR


Jeremiah Johnson
Visit My Website!


Both the entries, as well as constructions with IMGs worked in phpbb2.
Is this a bug in 3.x, was it a bug in 2.x, or is there some paradigm shift to "this is how it should work"?
Or am I missing something simple? Making a URL for each line works, but I don't want to put that on my users.

im not sure about 2.x.x, but you cant have the url bbcode and the next on another line and then the ending url bbdcode tag on another line after that. so

Code: Select all

[url=http://www.google.com]Google[/url]

becomes Google.

Yes that is precisely the problem. Bbcode for bold, italic, underline, quote, code, list, all work on multiple lines as does the html <a> tag. So why not the URL tag?

And yes it worked in 2.x. I'm not asking if it works, I'm asking if I should submit it as a bug.

no harm in doing so. then the developers. the developers can then take a look.

It has been reported in the past. Here is one example: http://www.phpbb.com/bugs/phpbb3/31905

Done. 40855

Thanks, I didn't want to waste anybody's time if this had been established. CHeers!

[jage]

Ah well, see that's what I was trying to avoid. I guess my question goes back to "why?" also.

It isn't exactly the same, but you could try:

Code: Select all

[url=http://www.jeremiahjohnson.com]Jeremiah Johnson[/url]
[url=http://www.jeremiahjohnson.com]Visit my Website![/url]

Which makes:

Jeremiah Johnson
Visit my Website!

It doesn't look as nice as it would with the one anchor but it works...

what you have posted above does not and as far as I know, never did, work in phpbb2

you have to put it all on one line and always have.
If it worked on your board, you must have had some type of MOD installed.

Works everywhere I've tried it. I'd be willing to bet it works on any random phpbb2 board.

[RMcGirr83]

Not on mine it doesn't

[jage]

Rich your board looks like phpbb3. The whole issue is that it did work in an unmodded phpbb2, version 2.0.22 and DOESN'T in phpbb3, version 3.0.4.

Used to work.

Doesn't work.

It's moot because they are not planning to fix it (read the bug report)... I'm not sure why this is such a hard concept for everybody.

That screenshot Rich posted is phpBB 2, the forum you posted is as well but it is modified. As said its pointless discussing this, it will not change.

[RMcGirr83]

Just to clarify a tad, the screen shot I posted is from a v 2 forum...my phpBB modification forum (found in my sig) is v 3.

Guess I owe you $1 then...
