http and www
Sometimes I get URLs without the http:// in the website field of the comments. Is there a way to give in the http:// when there is none so I would not have to go edit the comment and put the http:// in the URL?

Re: http and www
textpattern adds the http if not there so you do not have to worry about it.

Re: http and www
Really? It doesn’t for me. It adds the whole site URL then the commentator’s website when there is no http.

Re: http and www
Sarah, can you provide an exact example of what a commenter submits (in the URL field) and how that looks on the comments tab and on the website in the list of comments?
Which version of TXP are you using?

Re: http and www
Example: www.domain.com
That is what I get from a commentator in the Comments tab and I am using the latest version, 4.0.6.

Re: http and www
Yiannis, do you have a TXP version that automatically adds the http:// part if it’s missing?
Mine doesn’t. Should be easy to fix by automatically correcting the URLs when they are submitted.

Re: http and www
Mine doesn’t add it (the “http://”) to the database, but when the URL is output by a txp tag, it is done correctly.
In other words, in my installation, it doesnt care if commenters add the “http://” or not (and so, it’s saved with or without it). When the link is rendered on the comment, it works (that is, the “http://” part is added if missing).

Re: http and www
The txp:comment_name tag does that correctly when using the URL in the link, but the txp:comment_web tag simply outputs the URL as entered, which is not very consistent behaviour.

Re: http and www
I am assuming the http:// is only added when it’s like domain.com but if it’s www.domain.com, the http:// won’t be added.
I am using the comment name tag with link=1 or without it, doesn’t matter because it’s on by default already.

Re: http and www
It doesn’t matter if the domain starts with www.
<txp:comment_name /> always makes sure that domain starts with http:// and if not, it’s added automatically.
Are you absolutely, 100% sure that you’re using comment_name and not comment_web? If this happens with comment_name, I’d like to see an URL that demonstrates the problem and a tag trace.

Re: http and www
I am positive. When a commentator enters www.domain.com, I get the whole site url plus the commentator’s url. For example: http://mydomain.com/www.commentatordomain.com
I have edited the commentator’s URL but if I get it again, I will provide you a screenshot.

Re: http and www
Can you post a tag trace and the template/form used for displaying comments?
