I'm not the MOD Author of this particular MOD, but the time is only an estimate, if you take a lot of care in following the instructions, if you have slow computer etc can all contribute to it taking a bit longer. And if it is estimated at 1 minute, even if all factors are against you, I can't see it taking a very long time :?

Just my 2 cents

Edit: I looked at the code, I would say 3 - 5 minutes max

This modification sounds great, but, for the modifications I install, I like to be able to have a way to find out if it's functioning properly. I'm likely going to install this anyway. :)

By the way, does this cover urls being added anywhere on the forum, including any field in profile?

this is not true , it take much more Evil or Very Mad

so i take it that you're the one who gave me a Poor rating and that this was the reason?

you can always view the source code of the html! :)

well, it adds it to the website field in the profile. i think that's the only place in the profile where a link can be added.

since URL's aren't typically clickable in the location field (view my profile for an example), the rel="nofollow" tag wouldn't actually be applicable.

Can your rating still rise if you plug your url in a way that it's not hyperlinked, or clickable?

By the way, I did install your modification. Took me about three minutes with my three templates. ^^;

although i can't say definitively, i'm pretty confident they can't.

if i have any future updates to make, i'll update the time to say 3 minutes, as well. i won't do it right now because it'd simply be a waste of the MOD teams time (ie. they have better things to do than to revalidate MODs because the time estimintation was off).

this should do it:

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
groupcp.php

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
# this is a partial match
#
	$www_img =

#
#-----[ IN-LINE FIND ]----------------------------------
#
href="' . $row['user_website'] . '"

#
#-----[ IN-LINE AFTER, ADD ]----------------------------
#
 rel="nofollow"

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
# this is a partial match
#
	$www =

#
#-----[ IN-LINE FIND ]---------------------------------
#
href="' . $row['user_website'] . '"

#
#-----[ IN-LINE AFTER, ADD ]---------------------------
#
 rel="nofollow"
