Hello and thanks for your MOD

Ok i understand the concept of the MOD and I installed it with no problems.  I cannot see any change in old or new URL's that i just tested.  How do I know if the MOD is working?  Should I see this rel="nofollow" added to any URL's because I don't  

[rumfa]

View the page source and you will see a nofollow code. It's just ok.

[Filipina]

ah, I see that now thank you source code shows no follow.. thanks for explaining it

[ALEJO]

And why do i need this? Its better for the search engines or something?
If someone can explain thanks.

[rumfa]

You will get a very high google rank, and PR at the end.

[spiros]

Will it add the nofollow attribute to signature links too?
--Just checked, it does

Is there a specific reason why it is also applied to internal links?
Is there a way to exclude certain links/sites from nofollow?

[malcomxar]

Hi, i have "Show Local Url Titles" mod and it seems to crash with this one.

I get an error while installing Nofollow

I fails while tryng to modify  .Sources/Subs.php 

Is tehr any problem with that?

[SA™]

you would have to add the code manualy

[AlphaHot1]

Great mod, but even if the all "nofollow" issue is controversial, it should be deactivated by default for internal links, IMO.

[karlbenson]

This one affects bbcoded links. Not other internal links.
Also bbcoded internal links would be nofollowed.

So normal not-bbcoded link would be followed? I think most of the link in a forum are not bbcoded... so what's the point to nofollow bbcoded links only?

Adding Nofollow attribute to external links is a good idea for SEO.

Today I installed this Mod on my SMF 1.1.5 forum, and noticed that this Mod has added rel=nofollow to ALL links, including my internal links.

I think this is bad. Since internal links bing followed is helpful to SEO.

Hope the author can improve this Mod to add rel=nofollow to ONLY external links.

PS: I viewed the source code of the forum pages, it is rel=nofollow, NOT rel="nofollow", I am not sure  if they has the same function?

Thanks.

I agree with you. It would be nice if external links could be equipped with nofollow and internal links stay without it. I looked at the code, and I do not know how to accomplish that, but I can at least help with your PS. rel=nofollow has the same function as the one with the quotes, but the one without quotes invalidates your code, so it is nice to have it right. Go to your sources/Subs.php file and go to somewhere around lines 1578 (that is where I have it). See the following code?

array(
   'tag' => 'url',
   'type' => 'unparsed_content',
   'content' => '<a href="$1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">$1</a>',
   'validate' => create_function('&$tag, &$data, $disabled', '$data = strtr($data, array(\'<br />\' => \'\'));'),
),
array(
   'tag' => 'url',
   'type' => 'unparsed_equals',
   'before' => '<a href="$1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">',
   'after' => '</a>',
   'disallow_children' => array('email', 'ftp', 'url', 'iurl'),
   'disabled_after' => ' ($1)',
),

The module that we are talking here about only includes the nofollow to this code. It makes 4 modifications total. I am showing two. The other two are in a code that looks exactly the same just the tag is iurl. Check the code that I am displaying as orange here, it might be missing quotes in your case.

Btw, I just tested this code, it does add the rel nofollow tag to all href whether they point outside the server or to another topic in your forum. I wish I knew how to fix it, but I suspect it won't be easy.

Thanks for your support.

I checked the Mod package, it HAS the quotation marks around nofollow in the xml file. Why those quotation marks vanished after the Mod was applied?

[xjessie007]

Hello,

I do not know the answer to that. Maybe you were using some older version of the mod that had the nofollow without quotes. I downloaded mine yesterday, but I did not use it to do the fix. My advise, just review or fix the code manually. This is an easy fix that can be done manually.
