unable to use mms:// URL

[Ryan Kent]

I want to offer the following URL as a hyperlink in a post:

mms://stream.thisisgame.com/ncsoftext/this//1UPLOAD_HERE/press/BnS_CBT1closing.wmv

I tried using

[url=mms://stream.thisisgame.com/ncsoftext/this//1UPLOAD_HERE/press/BnS_CBT1closing.wmv] watch video [/url]

The issue is the http:// tag is added as a prefix which makes it not work. Also, when using the Insert/Edit link button the http:// is also added. If I copy the link and paste it into a browser, it works. How can I offer it as a link?

There is no configurable option to change that behavior. You can do it with a code modification:

library/XenForo/BbCode/Formatter/Base.php

Find this code:

		if (preg_match('#^(https?|ftp)://#i', $url))
		{
			return $url;
		}

Change to this:

		if (preg_match('#^(https?|ftp|mms)://#i', $url))
		{
			return $url;
		}

Ideally you will want to make this into an addon rather than modify the files directly.

Or you can probably do it with HTML:

Just for reference, I've flagged this to the dev's in case they want to make the change in the code.

They'd be better off making an ACP option of the valid prefixes for URLs (this way people can use http|https|ftp|skype|mms|etc).

I had same issues with irc urls. Read the last post in here
Looks like as if the methode from Jake is not working anymore?
