CCP Prism X C C P C C P Alliance 590	Posted - 2012.05.23 10:20:00 - [1] - Quote Finally I find a topic on this! At any rate: This is my fault! Feel free to tweet horrible things about me while I come up with a usable solution. As Jarne already mentioned this is due to localization: Translating autolinks requires them to actually be a sensible word in the first place, otherwise the receiver has no way of forming an expectation of what he is clicking. But even though I love being overly verbose I'll have to admit people do not like to be subjected to verbosity. So I'll shorten things up considerably. Probably something like "Station: ORBITNAME". So Dodixie IX - Moon 20 - Federation Navy Assembly Plant would become Station: Dodixie IX - M20. That's translatable, informative and not enough characters to build a ladder to heaven with. Fair play? ~ CCP Prism X EVE Database Developer If anything in this post was informative or could be considered as 'good news' to you - chances are you've misread it.

Froghole - Although I don't agree with there being much usability behind that other than confusing people, I can probably add that back with a bit of work. Besides, confusing people is great fun! Would probably also make everyone happier if things only autocomplete if the text supplied is a substring of the actual text. That way you could make even shorter station names by naming the links Froghole 1 - Infinity. Notepad - Hopefully the Froghole fix will help you here as well. ~ CCP Prism X EVE Database Developer If anything in this post was informative or could be considered as 'good news' to you - chances are you've misread it.

We would like to have a talk with them. But that's so mainstream! Being angry at me is much more underground and it's been so long since people were angry at me that it's probably considered retro by now! ~ CCP Prism X EVE Database Developer If anything in this post was informative or could be considered as 'good news' to you - chances are you've misread it.

Also less options when I want to make links look neat such as in MOTD. Hey, I'm working on it! I've already said I'll reintroduce Frogholing one way or the other.

CCP Prism X C C P C C P Alliance 597	Posted - 2012.05.23 15:30:00 - [6] - Quote So this is all mostly ready on my machine. Station links that autocomplete will complete to Station: ShortOrbitName (M instead of Moon). All types of links can now be FrogholedGäó in the same manner as before. They will not autocomplete on any client and obviously not be translated. Currently I'm having issues with the FrogholingGäó requiring you to delete all of the text used to autolink and I'm trying to work around that because it's annoyingly confusing and I think everyone would appreciate being able to write "Jita IV", link that to Jita IV 4 CNA, and than erase the roman numeral part to only have it display as "Jita" (and never translate, even though that's a solar system name. Can't have your cake and eat it). However, I'm not committing this today and I'm not rushing this out to TQ because this code is brittle. I'm also well out of my comfort zone as a specialized database developer that generally stops touching things once they've been efficiently fetched and properly stored in client side structures. And lastly I remember all the fringe issues I had when doing this in the first place and am mortally afraid of reintroducing them on TQ if this gets pushed out too soon. But this is all happening. Sorry for making you wait, but patience is a virtue! And if wrath is your thing, the offer of calling me nasty names on Twitter still stands! ~ CCP Prism X EVE Database Developer If anything in this post was informative or could be considered as 'good news' to you - chances are you've misread it.
