Break things? This is how it should work ... STEP 1: User posts very long url Blah blah blah http://www.domain.com/iamaverylonglinkthatneedstobetruncated More blah blah STEP 2: Function adds anchor tags Blah blah blah <a href="http://www.domain.com/iamaverylonglinkthatneedstobetruncated">http://w ww.domain.com/iamaverylonglinkthatneedstobetruncated</a> More blah blah STEP 3: Function truncates display URL while retaining original URL within anchor tags Blah blah blah <a href="http://www.domain.com/iamaverylonglinkthatneedstobetruncated">http://w ww.domain.com/iamaverylonglink...</a> More blah blah -----Original Message----- From: Scott Lockwood [mailto:wsl3 at lrsehosting.com] Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2006 9:05 AM To: 'Chris Schults' Subject: RE: [Scoop-help] Truncating long URLs The only real problem I see, is that it's going to break things. If you don't mind that it will break anything it truncates, then why not? I'd like to eventually see something that says, "Sorry, your UrL is too log. Try putting it in an anchor tag, please." but that obviously is going to require a fairly non-simple change to scoops comment code. :-)
