[url] BBcode is not parsing "file://"

[ymep]

Hi Guys
I'm using smf as intranet forum
and sometimes I need that functionality to share some resources over MSNetwork or Samba
I used to phpBB. It was working correctly both with BBcode and simple html:

Code Select Expand


<a href=file:////computer_name//resource_name>\\Computer_name\resourse_name<a/>


Code Select Expand


[url=file:////computer_name//resource_name]\\Computer_name\resourse_name[/url]


it is looks like a link but if local IE user click this link hi is getting the resource
I think You know what I'm talking about...

How can I get that in SMF

Thanks,
Nikolay

We don't consider this to be working "correctly" in live (non-intranet) forums.  However, you can modify the code to make it do as you want... find this in Subs-Post.php:

Code Select Expand

if (!stristr($replace, $protocol . '://'))

Replace:

Code Select Expand

if (!stristr($replace, 'file://'))
$replace = stristr($replace, 'file://');
elseif (!stristr($replace, $protocol . '://'))


That should allow it.  Be careful, and remember that security isn't as high in these cases...

Hello -

I am using SMF 1.1 RC1 and attempting to link files.  I read below where I can locate "if (!stristr($replace, $protocol . '://'))" and change it to accept file:// as well.
But... I do not have that syntax in my Subs-Post.php file, therefore I am unsure what I need to do to be able to link to files.

Any suggestions would be great as I am new to PHP.

Thank you!

you have a solution for version 2.x?

The url bbcode is expressly designed not to process file urls for security reasons, never mind that browsers have issues with it too when linking from an http resource to a file resource.

Why, exactly, do you need to do this?

[Oldiesmann]

If you really want to do this...

Sources/Subs.php

Find (twice):

Code Select Expand

if (strpos($data, \'http://\') !== 0 && strpos($data, \'https://\') !== 0)

Replace (twice):

Code Select Expand

if (strpos($data, \'http://\') !== 0 && strpos($data, \'https://\') !== 0 && strpos($data, \'file://\') !== 0)

Note that this will only fix it for the url tag. If you want it to auto-link file:// URLs as well, you'll have to hack the code a bit more.

That's not the only place in 2.0 you have to change it, there's also a place in the preparser where it validates the url tags.
