Removing URLs from description

[linksor.com]

Is this possible to remove URL's from all descriptions automatically (not manually?) for all submitted sites ?

Do you mean that you want to remove any URL's thats in the description section of the details page??

or

Do you want to remove the URL from the details page?

If its the last one, you should just be able to remove from /templates/<your_template>/detail_list.html where it calls the URL field to display.

as I wrote: from all descriptions submitted to directory

you have i.e. blahahahaha <a href="sth">anchor</a> - how to remove all except anchor text

The easiest way I would think this could be done would be to export your database. Maybe not the entire database, but the idx_links table. Then use a program to find and replace. You could do a find for "<a href" and have the replacement be blank

You can use strip_tag from php function. It is not only removing links, but all HTML code.

Dody...

You might want to give a more detailed instruction than this. I'm not sure about everyone else, but since I'm not a programmer, I really dont understand how this could help me

At the moment for 150 submitted sites I am removing 5-10 daily

But I wil take a look on strip_tag ... or substr - because I have one dir (imported from qlweb) with 4000 URLs so manual correcting is possible but ... won;t die before I finish )

It will involved a programming work. With a small fee, we can create a small script that do:
1) checking description in the existing database
2) altering add.php and modify.php so the submitter won't enter html code / anchor text

Please pm me if you are interested.
