build_specialsearch_list_urls()

Description

Limit the length of !list special search url by adding a maximum of 650 characters of resource references per link including separators.
Mail servers may break very long text strings into multiple lines and this will cause the special search to fail.
Loading URLs of great length may also cause a Request-URI Too Long error in the browser.
Multiple urls will be returned, formatted to include in action dates notifications.

Parameters

ColumnTypeDefaultDescription
$resource_refs array Array containing resource references to include in url.

Return

array Array containing 'single' value of url (650 characters of resources or less) and 'multiple' value of url (more than 650 characters of resources).

Location

include/message_functions.php lines 1233 to 1281
