On the other hand I found an existing post from someone else in my forum where a video link they'd included before I used your add-on now showed as embedded. So it does work sometimes.
What I want to understand is what causes the different behaviour. Any ideas please ?
Is there any way to make this extension roles based?
I run a forum that was recently attacked by spammers in a big way. I was thinking if I could have new applicants post only text, text links, etc. and then after say 150 or 200 posts get the rights to post photos and then after say 300 or 350 embed videos... that would help me weed out spammers better than just waiting for them to post crap and over run a forum. Thoughts? Maybe another extension would be better?
Hi MrBurrrns,
I rewrote your default.php a bit. I added two config settings for MAX_LINK_CHARACTER_LENGTH, MAX_LINK_CHARACTER_TEXT that allow you to put in an optional link text if the characters in the url exceed a certain limit. This is to solve the layout issue breaking that you brought up and the user request of using the actual URL in the link inner html.
Also I added support for the following protocols:
'http', 'https', 'ftp', 'news', 'nntp', 'feed', 'gopher', 'mailto'
Have a look let me know what you think.

So i thought my website supported php5 (I have it hosted on Godaddy, and was a little confused @ php compatibility) so I installed the addon. It proceeded to brick my website, so I deleted the folder (since I could not view any part or change any settings via any web interface) and now I have an ugly bar at the top that says yada yada can not open input stream "Warning: main(/home/content/account/vanilla/extensions/Make It Simple Text Formatter/default.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/account/vanilla/conf/extensions.php on line 27
Warning: main(): Failed opening '/home/content/account/vanilla/extensions/Make It Simple Text Formatter/default.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/content/account/vanilla/conf/extensions.php on line 27"
The only way I could get rid of htis was by placing an empty php file into the folder. I went to the settings panel and disabled the addon, but removing the folder will still produce that ugly bar at the top with the file not found error. Does anyone know how to fix this?
A service for MP3 that will be cool could be http://www.goear.com/ or even podcasts services.
I think you could implement something like this one, wich is free storage for MP3 files.
Here an example: http://www.archive.org/details/DiputadaGriseldaBaldataEnElProgramaAmaneceEnDelPlataConGustavo
Thanks
For anyone interested in displaying the actual URL (but avoid breaking your layout)
Open /extensions/MakeItSimpleFormatter/default.php
Look for (line 66?) $Word = '<a href="'.$Word.'" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">->link<-</a>'; REPLACE this line with
if( strlen($Word) > 66 ) {
$Word = '<a href="'.$Word.'" title="'.$Word.'" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">'.substr($Word,0,63).'...</a>';
} else {
$Word = '<a href="'.$Word.'" title="'.$Word.'" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">'.$Word.'</a>';
}
I've hard-coded the max length (I'm lazy that way) to 66 chars, and due to the addition of "..." to the end, I display only 63 of them (this explains the numbers). The code snippet also adds a 'title' attribute to the tag so you can see the full URL by hovering over the link.

This is how they have formating set up a writeboard.com it's really intuitive and easy to use.

This is just what I wanted and it works fine - almost. There's an issue with video links in that when I tried it with this youtube video http://www.youtube.com/v/htt5IjMhysM&rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01&border=0
it lauched it in a new window instead of embedding it.

Can you tell me the shortcuts please.
It would be awesome to allow just or code and post the flash as is. It would also allow for MP3 and movie play back if it uses the format...
