Chat

Hi Paulo

Are you meaning when someone is typing in chat and enters a website link - you want this to be active as a hyperlink? I gather you would enter the text in the chat as:-

<a href="http://www.moodle.org">This is the link to Moodle</a>

"This is the link to Moodle" would be a hyperlink to the Moodle site within the chat.  This takes over the page though. You would have to add target="_blank" in it to force a new page.

<a href="http://www.moodle.org" target="_blank">www.moodle.org</a>

Unfortunately when I test this, the link worked but took you out of the chat.  Maybe someone else can add to this.

Hi Paulo Felisbino,

You have to edit moodle core code, go to "mod\chat\gui_header_js\insert.php".
In insert.php file search lines like:
$chat_message = clean_text($chat_message, FORMAT_MOODLE);  // Strip bad tags

below that line copy the following code:

$pattern = '/^(https?:\/\/)?([\da-z\.-]+)\.([a-z\.]{2,6})([\/\w \.-]*)*\/?$/';


$msg_array = explode(' ',$chat_message);
$msg = array();


foreach($msg_array as $msg_arr)

{
    
    if(preg_match($pattern,$msg_arr))
    
    {
        
        $msg_arr = '<a href='.$msg_arr.'>'.$msg_arr.'</a>';
    
    }
    
    $msg[] = $msg_arr;

}


$chat_message = implode(' ',$msg);


And test chat window...

Note:-This works only in normal chat.
