Is it possible to create a plugin that could function as html links in the chat? For example, "<a href="http://google.com/">This is a link</a>" so that the text links to a url instead of having to show the entire url? (especially since if the url is long, it gets cut off at the end of a line)
This is, as cool as it would be is not currently possible. Link detection is handled client-side and the server therefore has no control over it. Would be cool though Although, an automatic link shortening plugin would be possible.
Oh, dang, wish it was possible, although that link shortener sounds like it would fix my problem as well. Would it work off of something like bit.ly, goo.gl, etc.?
I have a plugin called MCTL, that shortens links ingame, not exactly waht this is, but pretty close .
