Great idea, and definitely useful! A couple of suggestions:

  • it would be great if the filtering would happen on the server-side; right now the list of bad words is visible in the source of the page
  • filtering currently does not seem to take into account capitalization; it filters bad word, but not Bad or bAd

    ht_miel filtering currently does not seem to take into account capitalization; it filters bad word, but not Bad or bAd

    This would probably require regex

      Justoverclock I go to page source, and search for the bad words I entered in admin (bad,word) and I find:
      "addItemToArray":"bad,word"

          ht_miel oops, i forgot to remove console log, u see this in browser console? 😆 i will remove this now

          ht_miel i will work on this 🙂

              0.1.1

              Console log (used for debug) removed.

              Updating

              composer update justoverclock/flarum-ext-purify:"*"
php flarum cache:clear

                Very nice work.

                The video however is giving a

                " Secure connection failed " error in the original post.

                Secure Connection Failed

                An error occurred during a connection to streamable.com. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

                  meetdilip Same here and sometimes error connection refused to connect.

                  Justoverclock Is there any list that is pre made or all the words are entered by admin only as sometimes what happens, If user is using different language then what's the possible way to get rid of them.

                        1Dot you can add word through admin panel

                        For the video I think is related to streamable website, but not happen to me 🧐

                            @Justoverclock an idea here would be to extend this further so that custom REGEX is supported. This is VERY useful in automatically redacting things like email addresses, which under the GDPR, should not appear on public forums without permission. Users have a habit of leaving information like this in the open, and this extension could well fix that.

                            I know @IanM did something similar before with an extension which was originally open source, but is now considered private and no longer available publicly.

                              [deleted] so u mean something that obscure email? sure i can implement this also in this extension

                              or u want a field to put your custom regex from backend?

                                  • Fixed 0.1.3 version that was not compatible with flarum keywords extension (now works fine).
                                  • Admin can now choose to automatically mask all email address posted into flarum discussion.

                                  not sure how can i implement a custom regex field, because i need to decide the function that regexp must have, so i need to replace what/with what?
