Hi there,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply. It seems that i cant replicate this on my local.

Maybe you can provide us with your backend and FTP access for further check on this issues or maybe you can provide us on how to replicate this on my local? Which editor you are using? Please advice.

Hi Abdul,

I have spending some time to look into this issue and tracked it down in EasyDiscuss version 4.0.11?

The issue is caused by the preg_replace pattern in /administrator/components/com_easydiscuss/includes/string/string.php, line 368:

$patternReplace = '@(?<![.*">])\b(??:https?|ftp|file)://|[a-z]\.)[-A-Z0-9+&#/%=~_|$?!:,.]*[A-Z0-9+&#/%=~_|$]@i';

This pattern is causing text like: o.a. to be replaced with a link. But only if another link is already placed in the text. So:

https://stackideas.com/forums/unwanted-url-in-text some text and then o.a.

I'm not a regex expert, but I guess the pattern continues to the dot in the o.a. text.

Hopefully this helps you further fixing the issue for us.

Thanks, Sander Potjer

Edit after posting: see, happens on this forum too
