1. Turn long links into [Link] or something like that. Like say somebody posts a comment with a link that has like 150 characters...it will screw my layout up because the link doesn't break to the next line. So it would be cool if it was either a feature or a hack for automatically turning long links to something like [Link]

I think Kafkaesqui was working on a plugin for this problem, but I can't find it in the forums, possibly because some of his comments have mysteriously disappeared.
I hear if you say his name three times to a mirror in the dark, though, he comes and answers your questions.
The trick is saying his name right.

Posted 4 years ago #Yes, I cobbled together a plugin to deal with this:

mdawaffe is correct in that the forum post about it was wiped (I'm seeing a lot of this...), so here's a brief explanation of use:
Install plugin, activate it, and in wp-comments.php, replace
<?php comment_text(); ?>with
<?php break_text(comment_text); ?>The parameters are:
<?php break_text(func, 'args', cols, 'cut'); ?>func -> WP function name - this is the function name break_text() replaces, without all the php syntax. In this case,
comment_text.args -> Parameter(s) passed to the WP function.
cols -> Number of columns or characters to break a line of text at. Defaults to 60.
cut -> Character(s) to use for the break. Defaults to a space.
Another example is:
<?php break_text(comment_text, '', 72, '- '); ?> -

tinyurl has it's own problems... I'll say no more - just trust your source.
Kafkaesqui: Well, I had the stresses right; must have been one of those vowels. I'm betting on the second syllable. Of course, I've assumed all along there were four syllables total. I suppose there wouldn't have to be.
But I'll let you keep your secrets.
