[CB] Shorten long links in posts

[Peter]

Note: This is no longer a needed code, as the ProBoards software shortens URL's by default.

This code will shorten links in posts so they don't stretch the table, which can be a problem in mozilla.

Links will change from...

ssdesigns.proboards17.com/index.cgi?board=postcode

to something like..

ssdesigns.proboards17.com/...postcode

<script type="text/javascript">

// Any links above this number will be shortened
var iMaxLen = 25;

function shortenLinks(){
    var iCell = document.getElementsByTagName("td");
    for(c = 0; c < iCell.length; c ++){
        if(iCell.item(c).colSpan == "3" && iCell.item(c).vAlign == "top"){
            var allLinks = iCell.item(c).getElementsByTagName("a");
            for(a = 0; a < allLinks.length; a ++){
                if(allLinks.item(a).innerHTML.length >= iMaxLen){
                    var inVal = allLinks.item(a);
                    if(inVal.innerHTML.match(/((http(s)?:\/\/|www\.)(\w+([\.-]\w+)+))/igm)){
                        var iNum = (inVal.innerHTML.length > 50)? [10, 15] : [5, 0];
                        var iEnd = (inVal.innerHTML.length - iNum[0]);
                        var nVal = inVal.innerHTML.substring((RegExp.$1.length + iNum[1]), iEnd);
                        inVal.innerHTML = inVal.innerHTML.replace(nVal, "...");
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

if(location.href.match(/thread=/)){
    shortenLinks();
