Problems with Links

[acn-b]

Hello,

i have a problem to add Links. "Normal" links are no problem, but if i
want to add the following link:
http://links.verotel.com/cgi-bin/showsite.verotel?vercode=30739:9804000000925130

Pixie does not accept it:
"Please make sure you entered a calid Link"

How can i add Links like above?

Greetings

[Scott]

Hi
This bug has been reported a few times. The problem is the URL
validation is not particularly good in Pixie. You have two options:

1. Use a URL shortening service (tinyurl.com or bit.ly)
2. Disable the validation check:

- Open up admin/lib/lib_validate.php
- Goto Line: 52.
- and replace the fuction:

// Validate a web address
function validateURL($url, $description = '') {
$result = preg_match ("/^[a-zA-Z]+[:\/\/]+[A-Za-z0-9\-_]+\\.+[A-
Za-z0-9\.\/%&=\?\-_]+$/i", $url);
if ($result) {
return true;
} else {
$this->errors[] = $description;
return false;
}
}

- with:

// Validate a web address
function validateURL($url, $description = '') {
return true;
}

You could try this regular expression:

(http|ftp|https):\/\/[\w\-_]+(\.[\w\-_]+)+([\w\-\.,@?^=%&amp;:/~\+#]*[\w\-\@?^=%&amp;/~\+#])?
