Hello

Can anyone pls tell me how to modify the [URL] tag, so that all the links would contain "rel="no follow" tag. I've searcherd the forum and the only information I got was http://forums.webwiz.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=18499&KW=nofollow - HERE . Regretfuly the <meta name="robots" content="nofollow"> solution doesent work for me, because I still need some links to be followed by robots.

I've tryed modifying lots of files, but i cant seem to find the right one. There must be some place where "rel="no follow"" line can be added...

I've also seen, that this option is available for v.8 forums.

Please help me, I'm despered!

You need to upgrade to version 8 to get this.

If you upgrade to version 8 you can enable this by editing the file includes/setup_options.asp

tnx, for making a commercial, but upgrading from 6.x to 7.x has caused me enough trouble and it took me really a lot of time, so if there's any posibility, please give me a brake.

Im planning to upgrade to 8.x, I just need some time off my job to make all the necesery design change etc.

Plus, I have a really bad hosting service provider, so upgrading is a bit too much for me right now...

pls, -boRg-, I know you can help me...

Have a look in the mods forum to see if anyone has made a mod to do this for version 7.

Upgrading to version 8 really isn't that hard, just run the database upgrade tool, then replace the ASP files with the new ones.

I've just browsed through 23 pages of v7 modifications, and found nothing useful...

Myself I've tryed modifying

functions/functions_format_post.asp

includes/RTE_toolbar_2.asp

includes/message_form_inc.asp

and all RTE files,

but nothing seems to do the job. I would like to find the part of the code that adds "target="_blank" to every link, and squeeze "rel="no follow" next to it.

Can you pls point me to the right direction, or tell me which file should I look into...

Would integrating RTE 3.0 solve the problem?

Tnx for the support

I think in version 7 it was the file functions/functions_filters.asp that added the

Thank you, it works!!!!

In functions/functions_filters.asp change line 120 so it would like this:

strTempHTMLMessage = Replace(strTempHTMLMessage, ">", " target=""_blank"" rel=""no follow"">", 1, -1, 1)

Thank you again!!!

/edit

You have to modify functions_format_post.asp
line 61: strMessage = Replace(strMessage, " target=_blank rel=nofollow>", ">", 1, -1, 1)
line 877: strMessage = Replace(strMessage, " target=""_blank"" rel=""nofollow""", "", 1, -1, 1)

line 373: strTempMessage = Replace(strTempMessage, "[FILE=", "<a target=""_blank"" rel=""nofollow"" href=""", 1, -1, 1)

functions_edit_post.asp

line 67: strMessage = Replace(strMessage, " target=""_blank"" rel=""nofollow""", "", 1, -1, 1)

otherwise things get messed up while editing... I hope I didn'd miss smth out...
