Including a url in entry - jumps to home on save

Post by aulda »

When I create a new entry with a url in it and hit the save button, instead of saving the entry, it jumps to the home page of my website. The same happens when you try to put a url in a comment. This makes it impossible post any entries or comments with links.

Can anyone help?

You can see the behaviour in action here:

I am getting the same behaviour in my phplist application.

Thanks

I contacted the hosting company about this and they have corrected the problem for adding entries with urls in.

"This is due to the mod_security rules installed on server for security reasons."

However, I still can't seem to get links to work in comments. They just don't appear as clickable links. Any ideas?

Hi!

By default, s9y does not convert links to be clickable. You have several options to achieve this:

1. Install and make use of the BBCode plugin so that people can put \[url=blabla] around it.

2. Install the plugin "Markup: RegexpMarkup" and enable the "ClickableURL" pattern.

HTH,
