Two examples I would like linkified:

example.com
subdomain.example.com

I had the Linkification extension for a long while and it served me well. Upon the download and installation of Firefox 3, I lost that extension. I thank you for being there on the rebound. :-)

Oh and to Some Girl: A better way to make the distinction between regular links and the Super Linkifier links is to:
1) At var customizeLinks = false;, change false to true.
2) Play the heck out of the stuff below. For me, I added in a font-family to the linkExtras section so that all the SL links will have a unique font to them.

Great script!

I made one change -- directly below linky.className = "superLinkifier";, I added:

linky.title = "plain text linked with superLinkifier";

So I'd have some way to tell if a link had been linkified vs. having been an actual link in the first place. (For those who aren't sure what this does: when I hover over a link, that text will appear if the script linkified it. If it was already linked to begin with, that text will not appear.)

A lot of those links on the testcases.txt page don't work.
One ftp (ends in a period)
and 5-10 of every category after that, with the exception of the last category (images)

Firefox automatically splits long text files into multiple text nodes,
and a couple of the splits happen to be right in the middle of some links on this page.
This is why a couple text links are not fully linkified.

Is there any way to disable that?

User 'sweeeetah' has posted the SuperLinkifier script with FinalDoom's name replaced with someone else's name. That's the only change. But he posted it more recently it looks like an update on the search page (already has 227 installs).

h2oz7v, this script works wonderful with Opera. I've tested it with Opera 9.2x on WinXP.
Thank you very much!

Note: you have to use the name xxxx.users.js if you want it work in Opera.

Is there a way of making this script work for Opera?

Does not work for this example source code:


<font>
http://refer.ccbill.com/cgi<wbr>-bin/clic...</wbr></font>

Oops, I guess HTML comments don't work here. Let me try that a different way:

"w w w . e x a m p l e . c o m" should not appear as "http://www.example.com/".

Hi. First of all, this is an excellent linkifier. I'm using it now. A few comments on the comments:

Everyone is wondering why certain patterns work here but not elsewhere. The answer is simple. Read the notes that appear when you enter a comment here: "We help break your paragraphs and link your links." (Emphasis added.) It's us.o that is creating those links, not the userscript. (If you want proof, just View Source: changes to the DOM, which userscripts make, don't reflect in the source view.)

As for the issue of split text nodes, I don't agree there's nothing you can do about it. It would require modifying your code structure a bit, but when parsing a URL, you could check for a sibling text node. The only trouble is, you would no longer be able to get an XPathResult with UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE. But I think you could use ORDER_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, and for each node, check if there are more items in the snapshot, and if so, whether the current item's nextSibling is the same as the next item in the snapshot. But as you said, it's a rare occurrence, so you decide whether it's worth the trouble and CPU.

One more thing: I don't like having the text content altered. So e.g. "www<!-- -->.example<!-- -->.com" should not appear as "http<!-- -->://www<!-- -->.example<!-- -->.com/". It would be nice to have an option to keep all the text as is, and only have the alterations in the hrefs. OTOH, looking at the code, it's clear that trying to implement such a thing would probably be an awful hack, due to the preprocessing done in fixLinks. I guess starting over is the best way to do it.

But again, this is an excellent linkifier, much better than its predecessors. Thanks.

The pic is a screenshot of the userstyles.org main page immediately after installing the script.

The current link is http://userscripts.org/?page=2

i like it :)

I have never found one of these scripts that works.

ADDITIONAL - And yet somehow, the script linkified those strings properly here, but not on the Testcases page...

Strange.

Excellent adaptation of an excellent adaptation of an excellent script...

When reviewing the test cases at http://yellow5.us/firefox/testcases.txt I found only one or two possible issues/failures/opportunities for improvement.

ftp://user:password@192.168.0.1/test/.
Linkified to ftp://user:password@192.168.0

irc://www.example.com/test/.
Linkified to irc://www.example.com

http://user@www.example.com/test/.
Linkified to http://user@www.example.com

As a possibly suggestion for some of the more common patterns (which do not seem to be Linkified by most of this branch of Userscripts, such as:

192.168.0.1
192.168.0.1.
subdomain.example.com
subdomain.example.com.

Possibly allowing for a link to be inserted after them like "[link]" could prove handy (again, if able to be toggled on and off within the script itself, even if defaulting to off.

this also turns software version numbers into links
"version 5.5.6" or something similar to that will turn into a mess
also something like "44.1kHz/192kbps" will become a link

This turns into a link
5:00 p.m./aug-2-07/5:15 p.m.

Becomes

5:00 ---> http://p.m./aug-2-07/5 <--->

Added in the ---> to show what became a link
