The URLfilter module automatically converts text web addresses (URLs, e-mail addresses, ftp links, etc.) into hyperlinks. This is useful for users if content authors do not explicitly create a hyperlink for the URL.

This functionality was added into 5.0 core as a filter so the module will no longer be needed for future versions

Use Input Formats to enable the URL filter.

  1. Select an existing input format or add a new one
  2. Configure the input format
  3. Enable URL filter and Save configuration
  4. Rearrange the weight of the URL filter depending on what filters exist in the format
