No HTML url LINKS in Profile Activity problem??

    Hi everyone!!

    What a great community!!

    We are having some issues with people putting a bunch of “<a href" links all over their Profile Activity stream. We don't mind if a few spam bots get through our registration.. but to leave 100 links to Viagra is a bit annoying… If there were NO LINKS– then that be suffice.

    Is there anyway to eliminate this in the “functions” ??

    I tried to look around, but nothing to that extent, that I could find.

    Thanks so much!

    I am trying this.. but no dice…

    remove_filter( ‘bp_get_activity_content_body’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’ , 50 );
    remove_filter( ‘bp_get_activity_content’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’ , 50 );

    I’d love a solution to that too! No links or emails allowed in the activity “wall updates” or “group wall updates”.
    Some people are really impossible, and instead of engaging in conversation, their only contribution is to punch in links to their facebook or their email. Which is both stupid, annoying and is killing the whole community thing.

    So please a solution – how can we forbid links and emails in wall updates?

    Thank you!

    PS: eberswine – I think (my feeling) that the 2 lines above refer to smth. else, namely to those internal links BP is creating from user names or tags for ex.

    the best way is to make all the links unclickable. blocking them totally may not be a good idea as your genuine users may want to post a video.

    @candy2012 — i think you are right. !! good point.

    I thought for sure there would be a small filter we could use to remove links in ONLY ACTIVITY… but I guess not.

    @funmi —…. and do you have an idea as of how to achieve that !??!
    Thanks!
