I was looking for the same feature.

:)

Hey MrDav, good to see you're still alive :D

I've forgotten what my original hack was. If you could jog my memory with the code I'll see if I can update it

¥

Yabba: In /b2evocore/_class_comment.php was this code;

// YaBBa's hack to use renderer in comments 
                global $Renderer; 
                $renderers = explode( ".","b2evALnk" ); 
                $post_renderers = $Renderer->validate_list( $renderers ); 
                $comment = $Renderer->render( $comment, $post_renderers, $format ); 
                // end hack 

I tried to use it in /inc/model/_comment.class.php and it generated an error, but did leave the link. I can't remember what the error was. :(

Edit I reproduced the error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /var/www/vhosts/remonstrans.net/httpdocs/inc/MODEL/comments/_comment.class.php on line 883

The code on that line is:

$post_renderers = $Renderer->validate_list( $renderers );

It did not generate a comment this time...

Ok, now I'm confused, I just looked at the code and the Auto-Link plugin already works on comments in 1.9.x so all you should need to do is install it.

Well, it doesn't! :'(
I even re-installed it, and it just won't do it.
If I could just get the renderer/html checker to accept the "a href" tag, I would be satisfied.
Is that a possibility? 88|

EDIT:
You can enter a url from the backoffice editor, but not from the post a comment on the blog page.

To allow the <a> tag in comments, create conf/_overrides_TEST.php with the following ;)

<?php
$comment_allowed_tags .= '<a>';
$comments_allowed_tags += array( 'a' => C_E_a_content );  // Allowing this will call for a whole lot of comment spam!!!
?>

¥

Yabba, my man! It almost works! ;)
It generated this error

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/vhosts/remonstrans.net/httpdocs/conf/_overrides_TEST.php:4) in /var/www/vhosts/remonstrans.net/httpdocs/inc/MODEL/skins/_skin.funcs.php on line 71

I commented out the send content bit in _skin.functions.php, and "a" was included in the allowable tags. I inserted the test URL and it generated a similar error message in about 6-8 files when I tried to send the comment.

Check you haven't got any whitespace in _overrides_TEST.php ( just after the ?> )

¥

Oh, geeeze. doh :oops:

I copy and pasted into crimson editor, and when I copied I got a whitespace.

You da man!

don't let yer boss hear you say that huh? :roll:

¥

Well, when your boss is also your Dad, you can do pretty much anything you want...saving things he has said no to. And who wants to do them anyway? B)
