   Hi

   a while back i searched and found a bit of code, but i cannot find it now.

   On my posts i can type in my url http://www.mydomain.com as a text url
   and this piece of code converted my text urls into clickable hyperlinks, i edited the template and put the code in and it worked side wide.

   Can someone point me in the right direction with it.

   Thanks

   James

   in all honesty doing it as a plugin would be a better idea. If you do it in the template it would need to do it every time the page loads, if you do it as a plugin it could be made to run the code only when you post a story.

   There is a plugin here- http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/auto-hyperlink-urls/ but it doesn't quite work with WP 2.8

   The answer has always been here! http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/make_clickable

   <?php make_clickable( $ret ) ?>

   No need for plugins.

   How do I use the <?php make_clickable( $ret ) ?>

   Where do I have to place it? I want my links on my post to be clickable w/o doing much html. Thanks
