ABGenc Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Hi, I have searched for a topic but could not find so let me ask here. I have received criticism for the long urls not being shortened as it was in 3.4.8. Is this feature removed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 3.4.8 - when you paste a long URL and submit....the long URL is shortened: Here is the result using the same URL on here (auto parsed to a link, not pressed return so as to avoid auto-embedding) https://community.invisionpower.com/topic/422797-why-are-long-urls-not-shortened-in-4x/#comment-2596079 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilihead Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Yes, external links as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Just now, chilihead said: Yes, external links as well. Of course - a long url is a long url is a long url. My example took the first long URL I could find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilihead Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Just just stating it happens with external as well, as the reasoning for internal may have to do with embed ability. But then again probably not as that is just how it is displayed. The truncating would be nice again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reasoning might be simply that it hasn't been thought of within the functionality of their auto-linking plugin (ipsautolink) - shouldn't be a difficult change at all, simply detect how long the url is and then display a shortened version when creating the link.

Tracy Perry Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Oh, I can think of a better way of doing it.. but then if I mentioned it I'd get slammed because it's the way "the competitors" do it- what they refer to as Link Title Conversion.

With IPS4's new editor, this actually isn't a bad idea. It could certainly work. I think this is something I am going to look into implementing myself.
