https weblinks won't work [solved]

[korova]

Hello !

I have implemented several weblinks in my game.

Most of them work just fine (webbrowser opens on the right page) except ...
links beginning with https

When clicking on those I get :

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 225, in script
  File "renpy/common/000statements.rpy", line 358, in python
  File "renpy/common/00defaults.rpy", line 120, in python
ScriptError: could not find label 'https://www.flickr.com/photos/e_cathedra/2958654667/'.

As I understand it, the program does not recognise that this is a weblink, and not a label.

Is it a bug or a feature ?

Is there any way to go round this error ?

Thanks for your advice.

Yeah, you need to replace the hyperlink handler. The default one is pretty limited

Code: Select all

init python:
  def new_hyperlink_style(target):
    return style.hyperlink_text
    
  def new_hyperlink_function(target):
    if target.startswith("http:") or target.startswith("https:"):
      try:
        import webbrowser
        webbrowser.open(target)
      except:
        pass
    else:
      renpy.call_in_new_context(target)
  
  style.default.hyperlink_functions = (new_hyperlink_style, new_hyperlink_function, None)

Worked like a charm !

This is a good change, I've generalized it a bit, and will include it in the next release of Ren'Py.

Thanks.
