Create openable link

[JohnnyKing94]

Hi everybody, i'm trying to inlclude an openable url on my addon and i tested with the following api without succes

First case

 d("|H1:url:www.google.it|hil mio testo|h")

Second case

 d(ZO_LinkHandler_CreateURLLink("http://www.google.it","ciao"))

In both case i got: "TooltipControl: Attempt to set invalid or malformed link"

I also tried with the function "ConfirmOpenURL", still no success!!!! Am i missing something?

Afaik we can't work with direkt URLs in the game.
Just write the links as normal string like www.google.it and implement that:
-if people click on it the text will be copied to CHAT_SYSTEM.textEntry:SetText("www.google.it") and afterwards mark all text by using CHAT_SYSTEM.textEntry:GetEditControl():SelectAll()

So ppl can just click the link and afterwards press CTRL+C to copy it to the clipboard.

so is there nothing like the function used by the game that opens the links and prompting messages like "your game wil be alt-tabbed etc"???

This is forbidden.

You can't, function is not accessible
It's only available on /pregame and /internalingame

[JohnnyKing94]

is it possible to reproduce it somehow?

[Ayantir]

No, you can't.

The function which open your system browser is not accessible

Seriously:
I don't want to open my browser from withing this game by clicking any stuff.
And I bet many other people don't liek this kind of "automatism" neither, as it is always a question of security.

Use the copy to the chat text field and let people manually copy it by CTR+C to their clipboard.
This is the best comfort you can have with addons. Otherwise just write a text in your addon and let people manually read and copy it by paper and pencil (I heard about this one some years ago. Seemed to be a REAL BIG thing at this time and trained the brain o0 )

I've already done the chat text field copyable, but the OpenLinkInBrowser was more cool and i simply wanted to have some tips (offcore ) if someone did it or didn't
Ok i get it, it's the section of the official support
(pm me if you have any tips to give)
