Feature: Remove Automatic URL to Title conversion / Smart Links as an option for Auth0 Community Posts
Description: When writing a url within Auth0 community posts/comments, they are automatically turned into smart links where the text is replaced by the title of the page. The ability to turn this off would be amazing as it makes helping people difficult when they share callback and redirect urls etc
Use-case: Helping people within this community.
Hi @JFoxUK
Sorry for the delayed reply to your feedback card!
Thank you for posting this suggestion, however, it is not currently possible to provide a switch/option for users to disable this feature since it is directly integrated within the website directly for all users.
My personal recommendation would be to use the hyperlink option when posting a message in order to integrate the link to specific text OR cover the text within a code block in order to avoid the automatic conversion. I understand that this can be frustrating to take into consideration instead of disabling the feature to adjust to your own formatting habits.
I will keep looking into this to see if it will be possible to integrate this in the future!!
Kind Regards,
Nik
Hey! It’s all good, no worries, thank you!
I did try to put it in a code block but it still didn’t work last time - it works now, so thank you!
none code block

However if you use an auth0 doc link, they don’t work still:
I see, regarding the URLs pointing to Auth0 sites, it might be due to the fact that these conversions have been configured to be handled by the website directly regardless of formatting since they belong to the Auth0 domain. You could consider this a feature in order to improve the quality of link in regards to any information that resides on Auth0.
One way to handle this behaviour would be to attach these URLs as hyperlinks as I am doing here.
It might not be the best solution since the conversion takes priority to any other formatting options provided but it will allow you to avoid the automatic title provided by the website.
Thank you yet again for showing interest in our website and your contributions around!
Kind Regards,
Nik
