Description Michael Keppler 2004-09-09 13:04:48 UTC

Currently the supported protocols in the external links parser are hardcoded
(function replaceExternalLinks in includes\parser.php). Please make them
configurable for the administrator so that he/she can add necessary protocols (I
added file:\\ and notes:\\ in our installation).

Comment 1 Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 2005-05-16 04:16:58 UTC

Both REL1_4 and HEAD have a URL_PROTOCOLS define in Parser.php that can be
expanded to allow for other protocols, markig it as FIXED.

Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2005-05-16 12:09:47 UTC

Hacking core source files isn't what we normally mean by configurable. Should be 
settable from LocalSettings.php without altering core files to satisfy this bug.

Comment 3 Brion Vibber 2005-06-23 04:21:28 UTC

Might be worth tying bug 787 with this, to indicate for each allowed protocol whether it requires a 
hostname part (http://example.com/) or not (news:alt.example).
