[Plugin: User Community] Long user url’s are possible

[johandemeijer]

It’s possible for users to put a large url in their profile.

Is is possible to shorten that url, so it’s more like:

Thanks.

Will take that as a suggestion. And perhaps can embed in the plugin some system that provides short urls. Like tinyurl.com.

Or perhaps provide a way to directly short the site url before displaying it. Thinking in laud perhaps set only a text on the page which links to the user site…

Yes, it is possible.

Open: alkivia/templates/userlist-default.php

Find:
echo '<a href="'. $user['user_url'] .'" target="_blank">'. substr($user['user_url'], 7) . '</a>';

Change to:
echo '<a href="'. $user['user_url'] .'" target="_blank">'. substr($user['user_url'], 7, 24) . '</a>';

This will limit the number of character displayed in the table without changing the link. Sorry you had to wait so long for an answer..

Regards,

How do I make a short url with three dots at the end?

Not sure…I would like to know this too. Anyone?

[Txanny]

In the provided sample from cde10, just add the dots before the closing :

echo '<a href="'. $user['user_url'] .'">'
     . substr($user['user_url'], 7, 24) . '...</a>';
