Add url of copyright to credits tag in package-info.xml

[davidhs]

With SMF 2.1 Beta 1 was added credits tag

Code Select Expand


<credits url="..." license="..." copyright="..." title="..." />

And this was shown in credits page:

Code Select Expand


<a href="URL">TITLE OR MODNAME: MODVERSION</a> | LICENSE | COPYRIGHT


With SMF 2.1 Beta 3 was added url of license

Code Select Expand


<credits url="..." license="..." licenseurl="..." copyright="..." title="..." />

And this was shown in credits page:

Code Select Expand


<a href="URL">TITLE OR MODNAME: MODVERSION</a> | <a href="LICENSEURL">LICENSE</a> | COPYRIGHT


And now... can be added url of copyright?

Code Select Expand


<credits url="..." license="..." licenseurl="..." copyright="..." copyrighturl="..." title="..." />

And this will be shown in credits page:

Code Select Expand


<a href="URL">TITLE OR MODNAME: MODVERSION</a> | <a href="LICENSEURL">LICENSE</a> | <a href="COPYRIGHTURL">COPYRIGHT</a>


For example, I could add url to my mods https://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=search;author=242014 or another personal webpage.

This require to increase size of the field credits of table smf_log_packages in database (now is varchar(255)).
If my credits in package-info.xml is

Code Select Expand


<credits url="https://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2507" license="Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License" licenseurl="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/" copyright="2010-2017, davidhs" />

the content of field credits of table smf_log_packages is

Code Select Expand


{"url":"https:\/\/custom.simplemachines.org\/mods\/index.php?mod=2507","license":"Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License","licenseurl":"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/3.0\/","copyright":"2010-2017, davidhs","title":""}

243 characters! And I do not use title... and my nick is small!

[Suki]

Yep, forgot about the length bit.  Tracked. Thanks

[albertlast]

Changed the credit field from varchar to text,
please had in mind that you had to change this field manuel on your side(no update process availeble).

Thanks! I do not use SMF 2.1 Beta in my forum (and I am not a beta tester), I only add support to 2.1 Beta in my own mods.

And about url of copyright?

[Suki]

The license has a separate url type because I wanted to have a list of commonly used licenses, kinda like github has it, fetch them if no license url were provided and the license matches one in the list. Never got to do that, sadly.

That and because having a single "fit it all" copyright type offers mod authors some more freedom.

I write here instead of in new topic because the main request of this topic is unsolved still.

[...] having a single "fit it all" copyright type offers mod authors some more freedom.

Ok, I am agree with this. Now SMF 2.1 RC1 and RC2 allows a longer text in copyright of credits but I can not add an url because copyright attribute of credits tag does not allow HTML/BBC tags. Or maybe I do something wrong?

For example:
- I want add this credit:

- With only text (with no url , like SMF 2.1 Beta 2), works:

Hmm I would think at least bbc should work.
If you think it is an issue I would file a github bug report.

[Suki]

https://github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF2.1/blob/release-2.1/Sources/Packages.php#L1018

Those are the tags you can use inside the credits node, heres an example:  https://github.com/MissAllSunday/OharaYouTubeEmbed/blob/master/package-info.xml#L22

Yes, please. I tested several times (in RC1 and RC2) with the previous examples and it does not work.

Solution can be modify Source/Who.php file:

Code (Search (line 854)) Select Expand

<php?

$copyright = empty($credit_info['copyright']) ? '' : $txt['credits_copyright'] . ' © ' . $smcFunc['htmlspecialchars']($credit_info['copyright']);

?>

Code (Replace by) Select Expand

<php?

$copyright = empty($credit_info['copyright']) ? '' : $txt['credits_copyright'] . ' © ' . parse_bbc($smcFunc['htmlspecialchars']($credit_info['copyright']));

?>

But link of copyright is written as

Code Select Expand


...<a href="..." class="bbc_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">...</a>...

instead of equal to other links of credits

Code Select Expand


...<a href="...">...</a>...

and all links on the credits page should have same style.

https://github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF2.1/blob/release-2.1/Sources/Packages.php#L1018

Those are the tags you can use inside the credits node, heres an example:  https://github.com/MissAllSunday/OharaYouTubeEmbed/blob/master/package-info.xml#L22

Ok, the syntax of credits tag is

Code Select Expand


<credits url="MOD_URL" license="LICENSE_TEXT" copyright="COPYRIGHT_TEXT" licenseurl="LICENSE_URL">TITLE</credits>

I know default TITLE is the mod name, but I did not know could write other TITLE between open-close tags.

But I want add url (with BBC or HTML) to COPYRIGHT_TEXT.

[Kindred]

I believe that may have purposefully been disallowed...

you get to specify the license URL and a URL for the mod...     

[Suki]

Yes, it was completely deliberated,  the credits node only allows two urls, one for the mod and another one for the license, this is to prevent link abuse.

[Sesquipedalian]

It may be worth noting that mods can also add copyright info using the integrate_credits hook, which allows more freedom to the mod author.
