Hi Gang!

Quick one. What should I do to be able to automatically have anything starting with "http://..." become a live link in the photo descriptions (and album description)?

many thanks!

thanks Dave - uploaded the module to my gallery module folder, but I cannot see it listed in the admin/modules. Do you know what might be wrong? It's located in:

modules/purifier

thanks,

It should be listed as 'HTML Purifer" If it's not listed check to ensure you didn't accidentally unzip it within the purifier director... (wrong = modules/purifier/purifier) If you're good there, and it still doesn't show, check that the directory is read/write/execute by the user the web server runs as.

thanks -

of course I unzipped it in the /var/modules folder. Copied them in the right folder and pronto they show up in my module!

But - how do I configure the purifier?

thanks,

New links?
or are you doing html like:
<a href="http://example.com">link test</a>

Without adding the weight of a full module, you can add thie javascript to your page.html.php:

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function() {
    var h = $('ul.g-metadata>li:contains("Description:")').html();
    if(h) $('ul.g-metadata>li:contains("Description:")').html(h.replace(/((ftp|http|https):\/\/(\w+:{0,1}\w*@)?(\S+)(:[0-9]+)?(\/|\/([\w#!:.?+=&%@!\-\/]))?)/gi, '<a href="$1" target="_blank">$1</a>'));
  });
</script>

Dave: tried with the <a href... etc. It works like that but not without it.

suprsidr - added the script in the head section of the page.html.php - no work

thanks for the help!

suprsidr - I take that back. It works in the description located on the right of the picture, but not the one underneath the pic. You know which page should I tweak for that to change?

thanks!

That would be expected as it is HTML.

you have to perform the operation on that element too:

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function() {
    var h = $('ul.g-metadata>li:contains("Description:")').html();
    if(h){
         $('ul.g-metadata>li:contains("Description:")').html(h.replace(/((ftp|http|https):\/\/(\w+:{0,1}\w*@)?(\S+)(:[0-9]+)?(\/|\/([\w#!:.?+=&%@!\-\/]))?)/gi, '<a href="$1" target="_blank">$1</a>'));
        $('#g-info').html(h);
    }
  });
</script>

thanks Dave - but I thought the purifier would do that.

suprsidr - it worked but the link has a "</div>" after it for some reason. See here: http://www.mamaliga.com/gallery3/index.php/BBA/bread

you need a space after your link

But it looks like you are using purifier, so you don't need the javascript.(you'll get double links)

purifier allows you to use html, so format your links like:
<a href="http://www.actual-link.com" target="_blank">Link text</a>
to help you can use the wysiwyg editor.

I ran into this myself(long time ago), maybe you needed a carriage return instead - don't remember.
