Folks,<br /><br /> I need to place a link in a post that must start with https://.<br />The link needs to be in the post with a description like:<br /><A HREF="https://www.dot.com">description</A><br /><br />The description doesn't work because it always appends the link with http: and I have to have https:. Some one must have done this. Please help. Thanks.<br /><br />

Try inserting this into main.inc.php:<br /><pre> // ---------------------------<br /> // Convert ssl markup -> html<br /> $Body = eregi_replace("\[ssl\]www([^\[]*)\[/ssl\]","<a href=\"https://\\1\" target=\"_new\">https://\\1</a>",$Body);<br /> $Body = eregi_replace("\[ssl\]([^\[]*)\[/ssl\]","<a href=\"\\1\" target=\"_new\">\\1</a>",$Body);<br /> $Body = preg_replace("/\[ssl=https:\/\/(.*)\]([^\[]*)\[\/ssl\]/","<a href=\"https://\\1\" target=\"_new\">\\2</a>",$Body);<br /> $Body = preg_replace("/\[ssl=(.*)\]([^\[]*)\[\/ssl\]/","<a href=\"https://\\1\" target=\"_new\">\\2</a>",$Body);<br /><br /> // ---------------------------<br /> // Convert ssl markup -> html<br /> $Body = preg_replace("/<a href=\"https:\/\/(.*?)\" target=\"_new\">(.*?)<\/a>/","[ssl=\\1]\\2[/ssl]",$Body);</pre><br /><br />Then just use "ssl" instead of "url" for secure links . [ssl=https://...] and so on...<br /><br />This is untested.<br /><br /><br />Mateo Byler<br />CruceDeCaminos.com

Uh, you dont need that, it works without it... didnt look at the code to carefully. You can already do it without hacking it, its part of the program.<br /><br />Mateo Byler<br />CruceDeCaminos.com
