No, sorry, it won't do that.

What it does is allow you to Classify link as either Local or External. In doing so external links will be a different color which can be changed. It also allows you to put in a link to an anonyizer an example is (http://anonym.to?). You can also choose to add the NOFOLLOW attribute to external links(default) and even add it to internal links if you choose to in(prime_links.php in the includes folder). Most webspiders will not add PR to a site when the NOFOLLOW attribute is added to a linkback URL, in order to help combat spam farms from being able to jack up another websites PR(page rank) by spamming it all over the internet. It also adds the "_blank" target to external links by default so that they open in a new tab(window). You can also choose to add it to internal links.


For the ability to fully customize the External LINK color here are some directions:

OPEN
includes/prime_links.php

FIND

Code: Select all

       define('EXTERNAL_LINK_CLASS', ' ');

REPLACE WITH

Code: Select all

       define('EXTERNAL_LINK_CLASS', 'postlink');

OPEN
styles/YOURSTYLENAME/theme/colours.css (parential search the line is longer)

FIND

Code: Select all

    a:active

AFTER, ADD(in the next line):

Code: Select all

/*postlink */
a.postlink:link {color: #694489; }
a.postlink:visited {color: #694489; }
a.postlink:hover {color: #694489; }
a.postlink:active {color: #694489; }

Great mod! All of my users used to complain about the external links being opened at the same tab. Now it's much better. Thank You!

great mod, thank you!

Is there a way to tread "link forums" as external links as well. I have approx. 250 "link forum" links, and they open in the same window, while you would expect them to open in a new window.

Does anyone has a screen how internal and extranel links look like then?

You would not really "see" it.
An "external" link is just treated differently.

IE if you would link to the FAQ page of your board without using the url bbcode, it would show as "faq.php" instead of www.board.com/faq.php

External links, so links that are not on your server, will open automatically into a new window instead of the same window.

Not currently. So far this MOD only works with links in posts.

great mod, but i don't know why sometimes occur the error message as below:

the link of error : http://phpbb.ckfreehost.com/bc3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3

That is an invalid link. I have modified the code so that you will not see the error message on improper links. Please update to version 1.0.6: http://www.absoluteanime.com/admin/mods.htm#links

To update, just overwrite the prime_links.php file.
