The Old FogBugz Forum - URLs in entries no longer clickable

URLs in entries no longer clickable

We're running FogBUGZ Version 3.1.9 (DB 328), to which we upgraded recently.

It used to be the case that if I entered a URL in the textarea field while editing a case, the URL turned into a clickable link. With 3.1.9 that has stopped working. These are quite normal URLs: I tried http://www.qurb.com/ as a test.

Is this a preference we accidentally turned off? (I'm not the admin for our FogBUGZ installation so I wouldn't know. But our admin is not aware of any such change.)

Or have I discovered a regression?

You discovered a typo. In 3.1.9 we added support for ms-help style urls. The regular expression pattern has a typo in it though that prevents urls from being highlighted.

You can fix this now by doing the following.

Open util.asp in a text editor (in the fogbugz\website directory). Look for the function TranslateTextIntoLinks.

Second line, change to
re.Pattern = "((file|ftp|https?|ms-help)\:\/\/[^\s\<\>\)]*)"

(Notice where the ? mark is in the new line.. thats the typo)
