Thank you so so much for this. I loved Prime Links in 3.0 and this just makes me even happier than I am using 3.1

Are external vs internal links styled differently? It was like this with Prime links. Internal links don't have the blue highlight with Prime Links (they look somewhat like the style of viewtopic links like: viewtopic.php?f=456&t=2270671 ... while external links are like: Google

External Links is default "button" class.
You can change class attribute in ACP, eg "posthilit", "content", "signature" and others take colurs.css

Is this configurable in ACP ? It would be nice to have a full solution :

• Activate/deactivate
  Forbidden domains
  Different CSS for external links
  Icon
  Anonymizer

I'm not developer, but I tried it so:

Is this configurable in ACP ?

Yes - in posting tab

Activate/deactivate

You can activate/deactivate extension under "Customise" tab. You can also change setting so links will look as normal links (as phpBB displays them).

Forbidden domains

You can create list of forbidden domains and create URL where those links will lead.

Different CSS for external links

Yes. You can enter different class (from css file) for external and internal links. Would be great if there was css file coming with extension and user could edit it in ACP. And preview how links look.

Icon

I believe, that you can define it in css file.

Anonymizer

Not sure.

[lavachapi]

^ Thanks. I should have installed myself to test. Now I did it. It sounds promising but it needs some spelling adjustments.
Anonymization is made trough a temporary page (Links prefix) on the board itself : no need for an external service to be reliable but an external service could be added at end of URL (default : http://your_domain.tld/your_path/url.php?)

[…] You can put a link in return for a replacement block or the disconnected links. Added management of the administration section. Showing page with a warning before proceeding (without redirection). […]

Warning time is too short : I was unable to read the warning.

ext/bb3mobi/exlinks/controler/url.php

change 3 to what ever you like.

Code: Select all

meta_refresh(3, $location, true); // Time redirect

[lavachapi]

^ Thanks, it should be configurable in ACP and it should be a button to cancel.

Issue : when a link is copied and pasted on another domain by a registered member guests are able to follow that URL
Issue : no management for other protocols like ftp

~ : not cached

Nice : images outside [img] tag (just a link to image) are parsed. That's an improvement.

lavachapi, Merci!

Nice extension!

Some questions etc...

I added my own style to internal and external links (In my CSS) and then called the class in the extension page. But links in signatures are showing BOTH styles that I added in:

Code: Select all

class of internal links:
class of external links:

Can we omit it from being used in signatures? EDIT: In fact only signatures after the first post are affected?

Also, will there be any side effects with bots/google etc? If they follow an external link, will they see and possibly keep indexing the url.php pages?

------------------------------------------

Also, a request if possible?

Can you add in some text to further show the exact link? I have just had a quick go at adding the below but I'm not experienced with php enough, although it does seem to be working!

What I added as in the pic below is the part:

The exact link is:

Very nice ext!
But it is very hard to understand/translate the English lang-file!

I had installed the prime links mod. But I don't know how to modify it in the includes/prime_link.php
I am not much of a coding guy. Right now my all outgoing links are no-follow but i want to make the signature links do-follow. What should i do??

this has nothing to do with the prime links MOD. this is an extension for phpbb 3.1.

if you are using 3.1 then you can install this on your test board to see if it works for you.

once it actually becomes an validated extension, you can then install it on your live board.

If you are using 3.0 then you can't use this at all and you would need to ask about the prime links mod wherever you got it from.

also, all links are "do follow" by definition unless you do something to make them "no follow".
I don't really understand the point of no follow to begin with.
