Hello,
I'm trying to make some tests in a local environment (MAMP) and something is stoping me from creating new links. The warning : Enter a valid URL address. is displayed. Do you know what could cause that? My URL is nothing special : http://host-4:8888/medias/myfile.pdf
Thanks again for your precious help.

Looks like the regex CCount uses doesn't "like" this URL format...

Try this:
1. backup existing files
2. open file "inc/common.inc.php" in a powerful text editor, such as the free Notepad++
3. find this exact code in line 70:

Code: Select all

preg_match('/^https?:\/\/+(localhost|[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/i',$url)

4. replace it with this exact code:

Code: Select all

filter_var($url, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)

5. save and test

Perfect! It works! Thanks again.
