XF 1.1 Automatic shortening of URL bbcode : where's the limit ?

[Weppa333]

Hello,

I've noticed that XenForo seems to shorten very long URLs in the UGC, for example
http://www.looooooooooooooooooooooo...ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong.com

Because of layout issues, I'd like to find the number of characters this is limited to. But I can't find a setting, and quickly looking at the bbcode code did not help me.

Any idea where this is located (even if this is in the source php) ?

Thanks for your help,

I found it, in Formatter/Base.php

Seems to be hardwired at 100 chars

 if (!empty($rendererStates['shortenUrl']))
                        {
                                $length = utf8_strlen($text);
                                if ($length > 100)
                                {
                                        $text = utf8_substr_replace($text, '.o..', 35, $length - 35 - 45);
                                }
                        }

Just a suggestion, this code could maybe be replaced by a css3 rule (white-space nobreak /ellipsis )
This would be much more efficient as it should limit the link to a single line even if the link is posted at the end of a line

My 2 cents, I'll do that on m own install.

Is there a better/easier solution to adjust character limit for both BBcode and URL:s pasted directly in the editor?

Would like this:

To look a little something like this:

I showed here how I did it for XF 2.2 https://xenforo.com/community/threa...-dots-will-be-broken-when-copy-pasted.215417/

You should be able to use similar steps for other versions.
