v7 Beta 1

Using your example in the Active Text Description.
UBB.threads|<a href='http://www.ubbcentral.com'>UBB.threads</a>

When typing UBB.thread in a post.

The link when hovering over links to

http://www.mysite.com/'http://www.ubbcentral.com/'

---
When adding another one to the list,

google|<a href=\'http://www.google.com\'>Google.com</a>

and Update Feature Settings they both change
in the input area to

UBB.threads|<a href=\\\'http://www.ubbcentral.com\\\'>UBB.threads</a>
google|<a href=\\\'http://www.google.com\\\'>Google.com</a>

see all the extra \\\\\\\\\\\\\

and the links go worse in a post go even worse.

And if you dont change a thing in the active text
box area and just click update feature settings,

look what happens....

UBB.threads|<a href=\\\\\\\'http://www.ubbcentral.com\\\\\\\'>UBB.threads</a>
google|<a href=\\\\\\\'http://www.google.com\\\\\\\'>Google.com</a>

even more /////////////////////////

Good luck

Its also prefixed with file :
in the status bar before http://
so the link is dead before it starts.

I'm wondering if there is a setting elsewhere
that's knocking this out of sorts?

Well, the \\\/// are because you're trying to escape the quote, there isn't any need to escape quotes in the activetext.

As for the non working links, thats odd in itself; lemme see if i can replicate it on my test forums.

Odd, i am unable to replicate this on my test site...
At UGN (Beta 1 rv306) I tried:


At StoryLiners (Beta 1 rv321) I tried:

Business|<a href='http://www.business.com'>Business</a>
Bush|<a href='http://www.dolt.com'>Bush</a>

Ive just added the above.
exactlly as you see it.

Clicked the "Update feature Settings"

And now it looks like this.

Bush|<a href=\'http://www.dolt.com\'>Bush</a>
Business|<a href=\'http://www.business.com\'>Business</a>

Its adding the escape \\\\\\\\\ on its own.

i downladed this from the members area about a week ago now.
I'm going to re-install it again.
as i'm getting errors, and not sure if ive
bolloxed up the upload, when my ftp was set
to file names = lowercase.

humm, how odd.. do you have magicquotes on in your php.ini?

Local Value / Master Value

PHPv 4.4.2

magic_quotes_gpc On On
magic_quotes_runtime Off Off
magic_quotes_sybase Off Off

I'm on a shared server so i cant change any of those

I'll need to do some stripslashes it looks like to counter this.

(Version 7.0.0b1)

Just a quick update.

I re-installed everything again,
and it still does the above.

(Making sure my ftp didnt force lower case on upload)

Here's the fix. Line 55 of admin/dofeatures.php looks like this:

$ACTIVE_TEXT_LIST = $_POST['ACTIVE_TEXT_LIST'];

Right after that, add this:
