It might save a bit of time if the ST implemented a filter that changed a certain string (maybe double slashes or underscores) to the start of the forum URL.

So // becomes http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=

And //94628 becomes http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=94628.

I'm not sure if that works in url tags, but that would be awesome if it did. tongue

Why not test it out? :3

It doesn't work. I would like to be able to do /users/Scimonster to link to my page, and what you suggested for forum topics. big_smile
Hey, Lightnin said i could post patches in the mod forum for the forum system. I have so many BBCode updates!

roijac · 2012-04-17 09:43:57

now that AT has sparks and you in the mod team...
let's say its gonna be osom big_smile

anyway, i could implement that easily in antidote version 1.2

What do you think of this linking system i'm devising?
Starts with:
/ - main site (/user/Scimonster as an example)
& - wiki (&Scratch to wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/Scratch)
! - forum topic (!58790 to scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=58790)

roijac · 2012-04-17 09:56:49

too common used, what about
#mURL for main site
#wURL for wiki
#tURL for forums?

if someone posts a linux path it turns it to a link roll

They aren't common for starting URLs at all....

That's a pretty good idea. The links are rather long, so it takes up quite a lot of space when making your post.

What I've see on other forums actually is each topic having a unique code (like the forum IDs), that is specified at the top and/or bottom of the page, and somewhere else on the top of the page, there is a "Jump to Topic" text box, where you can enter codes. With this system, no links are actually needed. If you wanted to reference a topic, you could say something like "Topic 01-23-456789".

Maybe some kind of mix between this system and our current system would make topic-linking easier. smile

Kinda like what BugZilla uses, right?

Have you ever seen a URL starting '&' or '!'? I think it's a pretty safe bet that those links will work.

oh, you meant using them inside the [url]tag o.o
