Make links non-direct
Development and Programming
Do you want to make the links people post on your EE-powered forum boards non-direct (for SEO or some other reasons)? Here’s the module and extension that will help you by re-writing all external links.
The add-on consists of 2 parts: 1. Redirect module. The only thing it does is redirect to the URL provided 2. Indirect Links extension. This will look up all external (i.e. leading out of your domain) links in forum posts and re-write them into links to your Redirect module. When the visitor clicks the link, it will still bring him to the desired location, but you will not be giving any direct links to third-party sites.
Just install the module and extension - no further actions are needed.
Please also note that the current version works only for forum posts and not for weblog entries. If you improve it to work with weblog entries as well, please let me know
