Modification Name: Automatic Long URL Truncater

Author(s): Weird Al

Description: Takes any url over 50 characters and shortens it, thus preventing a long url from altering the page layout

Demo: http://www.alforadmin.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?/topic/3/8/5.html#000072

Requirements: 6.7 Beta Release or higher

Download Link: https://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/upload/00020028/AutomaticLongURLTruncater6.7.txt

Credits: LK for help, Charles Capps for building in elipsurl

Please take note that the first step should only be done if you run a Beta Release of UBB 6.7. The full version will have this step already done.

When you enter a URL without the http:// it'll append a / to the www. See the demo

Well it is still truncating the [img] bit of [url] sections.

Also the section that it says not to do in 6.7 because its allready done, does not match 6.7.1's code - both the before (obvious) and after sections are diferent from 6.7.1.

Thanks

Is it just me or does it not like to truncate UBB forum urls?
