Hello,

Is there any way we can implement profanity check for wall posts to remove bad words with something like %$$T^#?

Is there any open source library available which can be used?

Regards,
Sachin

You can achieve the same using Sanitizers in Liferay

Thanks Sandeep.
I looked at the Sanitizers but there is no usesable OOTB SanitizerImpl in liferay. It just provides a hook where we have to write our own implementation.
The DefaultSanitizerImpl returns the original string back without any modifications.

Is there any ready made implementation available?

Regards,
Sachin.

Okay. I think i will have to deploy antisamy hook and check if provides any Sanitizer impl.

Antisamy hook can be used as reference. You can also create your own santizer implementation class, by just setting the property in the hook

I tried AntiSamy hook. but i think it is only meant to remove malicious code from the content and not for removing bad words.
If a custom sanitizer is to be implemented, i will have to refer to some repository of bad words. It also needs to be able to filter the content based on the context in which the word is used.

Something similar is required to filter out offensive images to be uploaded.
