Hi,

I want my StoryFeed module to work like Facebook - when you paste a normal link (e.g. http://www.facebook.com) it automatically makes it clickable when it renders it.

I searched the core HTMLUtils and there is a formatWebsite which adds the a href="" tags correctly but does not handle the finding of the link in the first place - has anyone got a method to do this (Regex would be the most efficient as I will be doing it on databind)

Any suggestions appreciated (if no answer I'll have to write my own but this seems like a common requirement).

You could do this with a PageBlaster replacement rule.

Hmm - thats interesting, I had forgot how powerful PB was.

I'm trying to weigh this up from a user POV - for example, links in email notifications would still not be linkable. But it does solve the problem across all modules (e.g. Ventrian's comments on News Article do not have a RTB so this would work great there.

I'll raise a post on your forum John as I may need some help with the REGEX to find an unlinked link.
