Another bug in the link parsing code
Right this might take a bit of explaining.
If you manually build the URL and enter a domain name as the linked text, the parsing code ditches the URL that you specified and uses the domain instead. The two links below are constructed differently. The first was just the Hexus URL and the auto-parsed. The second was built anually with hexus(dot)net as the linked text. The code blocks are what I posted Code:
http://www.hexus.net Code:
[url = http://www.hexus.net]hexus . net[/url] No this might not be a problem on Hexus, but if you are manually trying to build links to problematic pages, you still fall fowl of the parsing issue already reported. Also, if you link to a page with a valid <title></title> tag, but don't want that massive title in your post, but decide to use just randomdomain.com in the linked text, that becomes the link. Remember some web servers are only set up to accept the www. at the start, so again, you fall fowl of the parsing bug. Does that all make sense? Here is an example: Code:
http://www.vb.org/app/ Code:
[url = "http://www.vb.org/app/"]vb . org[/url] Notice the lack of second link there. It's borked the code now. (you can blame DR for the choice of example  )EDIT: GAH!!!!! it even parses and breaks links you put in [code] blocks. God damn this is a moronic plugin! |

Re: Another bug in the link parsing code
I spotted this one tonight...
trying to post a link to the google groups.... Even when I HAND CODE the URL into the space between the markup, it ignores it. This is what I'm trying to post (without the < > before anyone tries to tarnish my professional capabilities again... )<http://groups.google.com/group/hexussocial> |

Re: Another bug in the link parsing code
Thats an interesting one because it does have a <title></title> block.
I wonder if it is the '|' or the line breaks that are killng the script this time? |

Re: Another bug in the link parsing code
Something in the "prettyfying" of the link texts has screwed something up royally somewhere.

Re: Another bug in the link parsing code
The point being you shouldn't have to faff about with that...
I'm not gonna bother commenting again. I've said my bit. |

Re: Another bug in the link parsing code
Yep - in an ideal world we would not have his bug at all and it would all be hunky dory - we are talking to the developer and hopefully should have a fix soon(!)
