How to block url link in ads

[hel68c]

I'm trying to prevent the entry of links and e-mails in ads. But no result.

I tried to setup in Bad Word Settings (eg. "*. com" by "hobbyclassified.com") but it erases all the ad. I tried (eg. ".com" with "HobbyClassified.com") it replaces http://mywebsite.com by http://mywebsiteHobbyClassified.com

I would like to replaced the link with another word (eg. "http://yourwebsite.com" by "HobbyClassified.com" or "[email protected]" by "[email protected]")

Have you any idea how?

Thank and Happy New Year 2009!

Which ad field are you referring to? URL field? Short description field? Long description field?

It's for long description and title.

As per the "badword" instructions anything you place in the bad word field would be replaced with the replacement word so what you are experiencing is exactly what is expected.

Best you can do without modifying the code itself is to simply add bad words and a space for the text to replace it with.

Yes its possible. You would have to edit code and incorporate some regular expression on the input to check for an alter what gets placed in the database.
