  LPS-1676	Activities portlet does not render a message board links
  LPS-29371	The message URLs generated in Message Board mails returns a HTTP status 404
  LPS-31285	Splitting thread posts and enabling explanations for splits within Message Boards portlet creates redirect links with invalid parsing when configured to HTML
  LPS-2835	Clean html in message boards
  LPS-31870	HTML source is displayed in Message Board's RSS Feed

When writing a link in a message board post such as http://lliferay.com the text is displayed as is, it would be better/more user firendly if it could been automatically transformed in a <a href="http://lliferay.com">http://lliferay.com</a> link, thus making it clickable.

We will appreciate if you or any community member contribute this functionality

Hi,

I attached a patch that will make links clickable.
It will only transform urls outside of bbcode tags to avoid breaking the [img] and [url] tags.

[James Falkner]

Great, nice work Sebastien. Baptiste, please try this out and click the "Accept Contribution" if it is indeed fixing the issue.

Hi Baptiste - Just checking in to see if you found the solution acceptable? We are assigning contributions out to developers and want to make sure we include all of them. Thanks!

[James Falkner]

Haven't yet mastered the git. Will attach an updated patch for now.

Hi Sébastien! We are in the process of simplifying the contribution process. To do this, we plan to remove the "Community Resolved" state. This will directly affect your "Community Resolved" issues.

Where will your tickets go? They will be moved to "Contributed Solution". So this message is a notice that we will perform this move soon.

Once we do make the move, there will be one less step in getting your contribution implemented. Thanks for your hard work!

[Randy Zhu]

In preparation for Ideation; we are moving this contributed solution tickets to “Feature Request”. Additional information to follow.
