No External Links In Signature - Please Read For Explanation

Not sure if this has been done.

I am wanting to know if someone has made or could make a script, that disallows links to work in a signature file on a forum, if they lead anywhere else other than the site the forum is on.

For example:

If John Doe was at www.abc.com and he had a signature file in his posts that had a link to www.xyz.com the link would not work.

But if John Doe was at www.abc.com and he had a signature file in his posts that had a link to something else on www.abc.com it would work.

This is to prevent spamming of other sites in the sig file in posts, they can print it out, but not have a link.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

its not really complicated, you just need to have a good grasp of reg expressions.

couldn't you just just hack the sig submission box with an if/else statement

i.e. with a

PHP Code:


		
			
if (strlen $_POST['signature'] = '%abc.com%') {
echo ("$_POST['signature']") } else { 
echo ("signature suspended") } //end conditional

or (this is the one i've placed my faith in :)

PHP Code:


		
			
if ("isset($_POST['signature'] = '%abc.com%')") {
echo ("$_POST['signature']") } else { 
echo ("signature suspended") }; //end conditional

not sure if either will work but i was trying to show you my idea/hunch.

I've done this with my chatbox, and also with members with less than 15 posts when they post... I will be coding this for my signature as well this weekend... not hard.

dunno i think 2 if's could do it, one to check it the sig contains http:// if so then check to see if it's an on-site url, else do nothing, but guesses alround for me.

Okay, I just implemented my "no links and no email addresses in sig" rule, and automated it so that it is inbuilt in the sig editor for vB3. It's a simple hack.

If anyone wants this, just PM me when vB3 RC is released and I will post it up. :)
