Author Topic: Event Email Confirmation - Web addresses are being truncated at hyphen (Read 1630 times)

If the "Send Confirmation Email?" Text includes a web url (http://exam-ple.com) the resultant confirmation email will include a hyperlink of http://exam. The remainder of the link is just plain text. This breaks the link.

The "Events - Registration Confirmation and Receipt (on-line)" Message template included the following lines.

Code: [Select]

 <!-- BEGIN CONTENT -->

  <tr>
   <td>

    {if $event.confirm_email_text AND (not $isOnWaitlist AND not $isRequireApproval)}
     <p>{$event.confirm_email_text|htmlize}</p>
    {/if}

The smarty text modifier of "htmlize" looks like it is stripping out the hyperlink after any hyphen (-). I have tried to locate the code that runs this modifier in the smarty directory but so far have been unable to locate it. At this stage I am assuming this is causing the issues but would like to confirm.

Could someone point me in the right direction on this one?

Thanks

Thanks Lobo.

I was looking in the package directory.

It seems there is an issue with the regular expression in the modifier.htmlize.php file.
The original line did not allow hyphens (-) in the directory location of the web address
The original line was:

Code: [Select]

$text = preg_replace('@(https?://([-\w\.]+)+(:\d+)?(/([\w/_\.]*(\?\S+)?)?)?)@', '<a href="$1">$1</a>', $text);

The error is in the middle of the line ([\w/_\.] with no hyphen in this block

NEW CODE

Code: [Select]

function smarty_modifier_htmlize($text)
{
    $text = preg_replace('@(https?://([-\w\.]+)+(:\d+)?(/([-\w/_\.]*(\?\S+)?)?)?)@', '<a href="$1">$1</a>', $text);
    $text = nl2br($text);
    return $text;

Code an issue be raised and patch created for this?
I have tried to do as much as I can but not sure how to create a patch file etc.

Thanks

Paul
