Linking to "long" URLs

[fire]

For an example, take this URL

http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/HP-Pa...oductDetail.do

I put that in the "submit story" box and when the story is submitted, the link ends up like this

http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/HP-Pavilion-Desktop-PC-A1209N-/sem/rpsm/oid/14...

Is there a way to stop it from doing this??

Never mind, solved it.

In "utils.php" change line 50 to this

function txt_shorter($string, $len=200) {

You can edit "200" to whatever you want (default is 80)

Thats works, but thats not the problem. The problem is my fault, in /libs/link.php


Line 232 and 234 say...

echo '<a href="'. $url_short. '">'. $title_short. '</a>';


and should say

echo '<a href="'. $url. '">'. $title_short. '</a>';


This *should* be fixed in the next release.
