Link Not Allowed - Menu Manager

[Koby]

I think the links it allows should be expanded.

I want to add a link to my IRC channel, but the menu manager just tells me that kind of link isn't allowed.

I'm guessing it's only allowing http:// and https:// but it would be nice to see other options like irc:// be allowed.

ive mentioned as well steam:// and ts3server://   ; most you can do currently if you dont feel like making your own plugin is manually adding 

 line38 of system\helpers\form\url.php changed to         'allowedProtocols'    => array( 'http', 'https', 'irc' )

would be nice to have what ipb3 had where you could put any protocol and it just worked... now it goes through a filter.

Thanks, but I really hope this is something that would eventually be added to the suite instead of requiring me to always edit a core file after every update just to add my sites IRC channel into the top navigation menu.

;P once they are there and setup the way they need to be, you dont need to edit the file everytime... just only when an edit is needed.... but yes, would be nice for the system to just accept it like 3.x did.
