Description of problem

Is there a way to add links to the description of classified ads?

I think you should be able to add links using this code:

Code:

<a href="link">Text</a>

Make sure HTML is enabled on your forum.

HTML or BBCode does not work.

I think that the description only accepts text. Fortunately, this can be changed via javascript. I cannot create ads on my forum(for reasons I'm not going to explain here), so I'll need a link from your forum where I can see the description of a classified add. It would be helpful if you would add this code to that description:

Code:

<a href="www.google.com">Google</a>

Hi @SLGray,

Go to Admin Panel > Modules > JS Codes management > New

Placement : In all the pages ..? (I'm not sure if "in the topics" is applicable here)

Code:

$(function() {
  // parses hyperlinks in classified ad descriptions
  for (var a = $('.AD_Description'), i = 0, j = a.length; i < j; i++) {
    a[i].innerHTML = a[i].innerHTML.replace(/(http(?:s|):\/\/.*?)(\s|&nbsp;|<br>|$)/ig, function (match, $1, $2) {
      return '<a class="AD_Description_Link" href="' + $1 + '" target="' + ( new RegExp(window.location.host).test($1) ? '_self' : '_blank' ) + '">' + $1 + '</a>' + $2;
    });
  }

  'par ange tuteur';
});

It should automatically parse text which begins with http or https as links. If any issues, let me know.

Thanks @Ange Tuteur! It worked perfectly.
