Link to Image, Link to webpage - increase character limit was created by Sean

I am running into a problem that I am not sure how to solve.

When using the "Boardcode" links to add a URL to an image or web-page, there seems to be a character limit of how long the address can be.

I cannot find where to increase this limit, as it frequently cuts of the last few characters of the link.

If I paste the link manually with the appropriate BBcode tags, then all is fine.

I assume it's an easily solvable problem, and that I am just thick. your help will be appreciated!

Hello,

open the file components\com_kunena\template\default\smile.class.php and look at lines 316 and 324, you can change the maxlenth value, like for this :

Code:

<?php @print(_KUNENA_EDITOR_LINK_URL); ?><input name="url" type="text" size="40" maxlength="100" value="http://" onmouseover = "javascript:kunenaShowHelp('<?php @print(_KUNENA_EDITOR_HELPLINE_LINKURL);?>')">

I don't provide support by PM, because this can be useful for someone else.

Remember that you need to change the max limit for both URLs (file and image) I did one, only and it didn't seem to work, only when I looked closer did I realise my mistake.

Also check that for the file, you don't change the max char limit for the inserted text, instead of the actual URL.

by the way... This file sits in the "Default" Template... don't go looking for it in another template folder, even if you are using one.

I understand the logic of placing it like this, but it may be confusing if you are not a coder.

note the way editor is breaking after the "-"s due to length... but shouldn't matter...

Changes in place and no difference...
also is an ebay link... acts like its trying to parse for something else like video...

tinyurl.com/yhq3kwr
is the only way i've been able to post long links...

apparently ebay gets parsed... for the ebay togo swf somehow... but ebay motors causes issue... testing another simpler ebay link...

cgi.ebay.com/DELL-PRECISION-490-XEON-QUA...?hash=item20af5463cf

Yup that was it...

using no parse figured it out much easier... however the ebay parsing only works on primary ebay... doesn't work on motors site as well... just by item number only...

[noparse]

[/noparse]

The above worked fine.... I think the edits worked to create longer urls but my test was also being tweaked by ebay parsing as well...duh... I'm learning!
