Stop posting external links

How can I stop all members posting external links on my forum regardless to how long they have been a member

Hi @FIB,

I suppose one way to do this would be to hide the links via CSS. For example, add the following CSS to your stylesheet :

Code:

.postbody a {
  display:none;
}

.postbody a[href^="/"], .postbody a[href^="#"], .postbody a[href^="javascript"], .postbody a[href*="help.forumotion.com"], .postbody a:not([href]) {
  display:inline;
}

Take care to replace

Code: help.forumotion.com

with your domain.

That way it should only show links from your domain, and hide external links.

Hi ange, what if those links are pictures put in signatures or topics as img bbcodes, would they still show or not?

If it's linking to an image, you'll have to whitelist the image host. ( or extension ) For example, add this selector to the set to display links to servimg :

Code:

.postbody a[href*="servimg.com"]

Thanks @Ange TuteurI'll give both a try

Hello,

@FIB I just wanted to let you know, your not really tagging Ange when you are trying to tag him, instead you are tagging a different Ange. I know it is difficult to tag bim because he has a space in his username.

Whenever someone has a space in their username, you must the username in between " marks, so to tag Ange you would have to do it like this:

Code:

@"Ange Tuteur"

which will show up as @Ange Tuteur when posted.


Its a common mistake, one that I made for awhile as well, until I learned how to tag usernames with spaces in it .

Just wanted to let you know for future refrence .

Have a great day, hope you find a solution to your problem .
