Stop/Remove VigLink links!

    Hi Greg,

    Users at my site occasionally copy and paste the content of their ads from another classified site. They inadvertently paste links and code from their ads at the other site.

    Viglink specifically. Viglink is an affiliate program used at a lot of sites to auto encode keywords. viglink.com is the system.

    It also allows them to paste html formatting including li’s and ul’s, etc. I have my editor set to plain text and they still post for some reason with the formatting and links.

    People are able to simply copy and paste their ad content and formatting with affiliate links from the other site into ads on my site and their site gets credit when people click them!

    I have had to manually remove formatting and links from ads so far.

    How do we stop this?

    Hi,
    do you want to completely remove the HTML code from the description field in [adverts_add]?

    If so then you can do that by adding the code below in your theme functions.php file

    
add_filter( "adverts_form_load", function( $form ) {
  if( $form["name"] != "advert" ) {
    return $form;
  }
  foreach( $form["field"] as $k => $field ) {
    if( $field["name"] == "post_content" ) {
      $form["field"][$k]["filter"] = array( array( "name" => "strip_tags" ) );
    }
  }
  return $form;
} );
add_action( "init", function( ) {
  adverts_form_add_filter( "strip_tags", array( 
    "description" => "strip_tags", 
    "callback" => "strip_tags" 
  ) );
} );

    I’ll try that, thanks!
