links in event description are being truncated

[eschickel]

for each event i want to include a link to the corresponding discussion topic in our forum. i have 'allow HTML' turned on.

an example link: http://uconncarclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=94

i've written the tag with and without quotes, either way it truncates.

if i turn on 'convert url's to links' it makes the link text say 'uconncarclub.com' which is not what i want.

i know that the equal sign is character #61 in the iso 8859-1 character set, but if i put %61 and the topic number right after it, it doesn't work.

is there a workaround?

You need to turn off XSS protection to allow ? and & in links.

[eschickel]

ah, i overlooked that in the settings. it works now.

with XSS protection turned off, in what manner can others exploit my calendar?

still working on implementing the trial version for my club's site before i purchase, but i'm very impressed with the product and the support!

As long as you or trusted persons are the only ones entering events, you don't need XSS protection. This would be useful if you opened the Event Manager to anyone that wanted to post events, then you would want to enable the XSS protection.

it's just me and the other officers of the club. excellent! thanks!
