[ADDON] Nofollow attribute for external links

June 05, 2016, 05:09:53 pm

Okay, I re-read the topic because honestly I had forgot almost everything.
So, at the moment the situation is:
1) there is an addon that allows to post "follow" URLs based on permissions,
2) the need is an addon that has a white-listing feature based on the domain.
Correct?

Thank you emanuele, is correct what you are saying. Will this addon use custom bbcode or it will be invisible?

Have a look at the attached.

Maintains the permission things (sorry, too lazy to remove it) and adds on top of it a white-listing and the exclusion from the "nofollow rule" of internal links.

It does the job, no bbcode added to links and whitelisted domains are without nofollow, thank you Emanuele

there is a little problem with the addon: if I insert a link using the button into sceditor, the bbcode became:

Code: [Select]

[url url=http://www.google.it nofollow=dofollow]prova link[/url]

and if I click on the link it opens a new tab with the same topic: http://www.domain.com/index.php?topic=xx.new

the nofollow bbcode is really necessary? I think not, because all old links non whitelisted are getting correctly the nofollow atribute. Correct me if I am wrong

The reason there is the nofollow attribute is to actually white-list the links: by default anything is nofollow, then I need a way to tell the parser "ok, this is not a nofollow", and there is it the param.

Just to be sure I understand:
1) start a new message,
2) turn on WYSIWYG
3) insert a (named) link
4) post
expected: the link points to the address
observed: the link points to the original topic

Did I got it right?

Sorry for the delay, I unistalled the addon from my forum, too many broken links so I installed it in a test board:

Stupid me...
I'll update the package, in the meantime, in NoFollow.integrate.php, just find:

Code: [Select]

						{
							$param = \'http://\' . $param;
						}

and add just after:

Code: [Select]

						return $param;

sorry for the n00b error...

that solved the problem with links pointing to current topic, thank you. I still test it and try to find other bugs

No, you don't have to find bugs.

Thanks guys for this plugin, exactly what I was looking for.

I was going to give a poster in my forum the gift of "dofollow" to her blog, until I see she was advertising products on Amazon using keywords. Now, if she wants to give me a percentage.....that's a different story!

Keep finding those bugs for Emanuele folks....
maybe we can start a collection to pay for more coffee for him, while he's up late correcting them!
