Profile question links

Step 1, Add profile question with the Multi text insert box Step 2, Throw a URL of any kind in there Step 3, Copy URL and paste said url into notepad or pad of choice

Results: It doesn't copy and paste correctly if you add link, its not clickable

Expectations: I expect the platform to not be adding random dashes and stuff into things that's put into that field, I also would expect it to make links clickable

Why?: if you want to have a multi field for linking to profiles such as steam profiles etc this would be useful instead of having to manually grab the url, Grabbing url manually is also pointless with this bug randomly inserting Chars.

Fresh install of 4.8.12

Hi @SpiritWolfie , I've checked this issue, links added to a field of type multi-line text input are not clickable and are not working fine. We'll look into this issue to resolve this.

Thanks!

@Khushboo016 it's not just that, if you do post the URL in there and copy and paste it into say a notepad you will also notice it creates random dashes.

Hi @SpiritWolfie , Please replace the content of the file /application/modules/Fields/View/Helper/FieldTextarea.php present on the server of your site with the content provided at the below link: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Khushboo016/c84aec978e7a5b4a5d54318058bb5ef0/raw/e472f81a2ecf284df014c5c3d9872246e3b23c95/FieldTextarea.php

This would resolve this issue related to URLs, and we cannot update the content of the mentioned file in our source code of SE because of some security issues.

Thanks!

@Khushboo016 so the thing you provided me has security issues? what kind

Hi @SpiritWolfie , We meant that the changes that we have provided to you to make the links clickable would allow to have clickable links everywhere on the site wherever there is a text-field or text-area provided and this is not something that every site admin would like to have on his site, so that's the reason we cannot perform the said changes in our module.

Hope you understand our point here, Thanks!

I don't know why the dashes even exist. Edit the file described above and change the number 10 to a very high number and save changes. Links work properly but it's only a temporary fix.
