Hi, I help run a large photography community and several of our members are trying to use the .photography domain for their website list in their profile, but receive a message saying the website is invalid. The format that is being attempted looks like this. http://www.example.photography But this is the error message that is received. [image] I’ve looked for a setting or something that would allow this type of domain, but I couldn’t find anything. How could support be added for the .photography domain? Thanks, -Adam

Hi @sam, thanks for the response. I am guessing by your reply @tgxworld is the person that knows the answer to my question, correct? Thanks for the help you all can provide.

If the risk is low and the code already exists to do this, we should get it in for 1.9.

What do you have configured for user website domains whitelist in your site settings? That validation you ran into is only activate if user website domains whitelist is configured.

[image] tgxworld: What do you have configured for user website domains whitelist in your site settings? That validation you ran into is only activate if user website domains whitelist is configured. There is nothing in that field. See below: [image]

Can you run the following commands for me just to confirm :slight_smile: ./launcher enter app bundle exec rails console > SiteSetting.user_website_domains_whitelist

It’s empty. Please note that this instance is on 1.8.10 stable (hosted with us) @Splitterside if it turns out that the version has something to do with it, we can upgrade you to 1.9 latest beta if you want to.

Hmm this is abit of a mystery to me.. The only place that code is called app/models/user_profile.rb v1.8.10 def website_domain_validator allowed_domains = SiteSetting.user_website_domains_whitelist return if (allowed_domains.blank? || self.website.blank?) domain = URI.parse(self.website).host self.errors.add :base, (I18n.t('user.website.domain_not_allowed', domains: allowed_domains.split('|').join(", "))) unless allowed_domains.split('|').include?(domain) end

I believe they need this commit: [image] User Preference 'Website' does not allow new TLDs Bug Had to fix the regexp as it was allowing “http://https://google.com” https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/e43799134c03d0180ef64dc941f61c26f5219314 So, the fix is live on the 1.9.x branch (as always).

Ah thank you!! I totally missed app/models/user_profile.rb main # frozen_string_literal: true class UserProfile < ActiveRecord::Base BAKED_VERSION = 1 belongs_to :user, inverse_of: :user_profile belongs_to :card_background_upload, class_name: "Upload" belongs_to :profile_background_upload, class_name: "Upload" belongs_to :granted_title_badge, class_name: "Badge" belongs_to :featured_topic, class_name: "Topic" has_many :upload_references, as: :target, dependent: :destroy has_many :user_profile_views, dependent: :destroy validates :bio_raw, length: { maximum: 3000 }, watched_words: true validates :website, url: true, length: { maximum: 3000, },

Thanks everyone for the clarity. I get that it’s in beta, so there will always be bugs, but are there any major concerns about upgrading to 1.9? Is there an ETA for the release of 1.9?

Do we also want to treat non-ascii URLs, like http://見.香港/, as valid?
