Posting non-html links in posts

LPTF · September 2018

Sorry for the newb question.

I'd like myself and if possible my users to be able to include non-html urls as links in our forum posts.

For example, I can currently include an "http://www.whatever.com" link in posts, and it becomes a clickable link. But if I try and include a steam direct connect link, which looks like "steam://connect/1.2.3.4:1234" it looks like a link when posted, but it has been disabled. It points to "denied:steam://connect.." and obviously does not work.

Is there some way around this?

Thanks so much in advance.

"steam://..." is not on the list of allowed url schemes.

You could either...

Open a github issue to suggest adding it.
Write a plugin to replace "denied:steam:" with just "steam:". This comment should give you a head start.
