    Hi,

    is it possible to prevent links from being inserted in the free text field (on the page: add an entry)?
    In Germany you are liable for external links.

    Best regards
    Andreas

    Hi Andreas,

    Thanks for your post. There isn’t an option out of the box, unfortunately. But I’ll get a developer for a second look.

    Hi Andreas,

    are you talking custom field text? I havn’t seen any such behaviour on local.
    Text field values are already sanitize, so it should escape html tags by default.

    Could you please elaborate it more with some screenshot. site details with FTP will be helpful too. Please share them in private reply.

    Thanks
    Naveen

    Hi Andreas,

    Please use this as a validation pattern for text field. 

     ([A-z0-9À-ž\s]){2,}

    It should fulfill your requirements.

    Thanks

    Hi Andreas,

    Unfortunatly html5 validation pattern not work for textareas.
    It could be done with the help of js, but its a customisation request. out of support scope.

    So you can take help of our GD Experts https://geodirectoryexperts.com/

    Thanks
