XF 2.2 Naked link

[JoyFreak]

I'm trying to add a naked link:
i.e. https://www.website.com

But it keeps changing to the page title after saving the post.

Using this format still converts the url to the page title.

[URL='https://website.com']https://website.com[/URL]

I have noticed that myself over the past few weeks.

I was considering posting a bug report about it.

BBC: https://www.bbc.com/news

Huh! Now it's working

Test: https://www.bbc.com/news

It's not working on my forums. I've tried everything. I personally don't want to turn off the "Convert URL to page titles" globally. I want to override it for this instance but it seems to keep automatically converting it when I save the post.

Yes, it seems to work here but not on my forums. I just found that this currently works:

[URL unfurl="false"]https://website.com[/URL]

You will have to disable this:



That setting overrides whatever you try to do with the URL link text.

It would be preferable if it could be overridden as required.

Really? Because according to your post here, it sounds like it's possible to achieve both with that setting enabled.

Edit: Also, I could have sworn it was working before. It seems to have happened recently.

I'm asking the dev's if there have been any commits related to this recently, which has changed the behaviour.

It seems all amazon links are just coming up amazon.com for a title. I don't own the site but do help admin it. Running 2.2.7 patch 1

Amazon pages are hugely bloated, which is why they don't unfurl or behave like other URLs.

This is a different issue - it's related to the option setting overriding the editor contents.

Any news?

Firstly, the perception of any inconsistency may be explained by the fact that we don’t actually have urlToPageTitle enabled here. We only have unfurls enabled here.

So a link will just post as a link unless it‘s on its own line: https://www.google.com/

The option is behaving as it always has done. A totally “naked” (if we have to call it that ) link isn‘t possible but one workaround, using the example noted before, would be:

[URL='https://oddspedia.com/bookmakers']oddspedia.com/bookmakers[/URL]

Which would produde:

oddspedia.com/bookmakers

This works because the link portion of the URL tag is different from the text portion.

 

[Paul B]

Ah yes, I remember now ... the text has to be different from the URL.
