bring back hashtag to life?

Justoverclock I tried playing around with the regex(s). I was trying to first keep everything as-is, but make it detect "#". Currently only letters are detected.

luceos True. But, I said a group like fof. I was just commenting on the fact that talented developers are creating all kinds of cool new extensions all the time but I’m surprised no one has done certain ones such as hashtagging or og link preview cards. Both must be very difficult to make or the developers just aren’t interested. Either way is fine. I know it’s really time consuming. It takes me like two days just to figure out something basic.

Justoverclock I don’t know if it’ll work. It probably depends on how you did the RegEx. But, I did this in the original extension. Everything in the codepen regular expression (see above) before the “#” does nothing but attempts to ensure html, BBcode, markdown, and similar things are ignored.

.replace(/((?!([\S]))[\S\s])#(\p{L}+)/gu,' <a href="'+siteURL+'?q=$3" class="hashlink" title="Find more posts tagged with $3">#$3</a>');

See the part with ?! and the three \s... that’s to make sure if a hashtag is preceded by markdown or html it is ignored. Which means you couldn’t do formatted hashtags. But, this way it’s less likely to conflict with something (maybe).

Justoverclock I don’t know when I’ll have time. I’m trying to take a bit of a break because once I start trying to code a Flarum extension, I have this problem where I won’t stop until I figure it out, or I fall asleep. My family gets a little tired of me spending too much time on my laptop.

Did you try my RegEx exactly as-is or with slight modifications?

Because my old hashtags extension with that RegEx was working fairly well. I got it to the point where it had very little conflicts with other things. But, it didn’t work for some reason with the rich text extension. But, I don’t think that had to do with the RegEx, it was more the way it was coded (innerHTML).
