How to no-follow the Website URL links in member's profiles?

[PatrickForum]

If a new user creates a new registration on the forum, they often put their URL
in the profile. Since Google doesn't like websites who link to spammers, I want to nofollow
those Website URL links in members profiles. How do I do that? Is there a mod.

Currently I installed the "anti spam links" mod, but with this mod you can't nofollow links in profiles.

Just remove the website profile fields from profile.

Admin -> Features and Options -> Profile Fields

You must have Advanced Profile Fields enabled in Core Features.

Yes, I know, thanks. But it would be nice for members if they can link to their websites, so I decided to keep this option enabled for members IF I can nofollow the links. I think about disabling this option, but I'd rather keep this option on for members so they have the benefit of it.

Didn't try this, but give it a shot -

In Profile.template.php find this:

Code Select Expand



// Don't show an icon if they haven't specified a website.
if ($context['member']['website']['url'] !== '' && !isset($context['disabled_fields']['website']))
echo '
<li><a href="', $context['member']['website']['url'], '" title="' . $context['member']['website']['title'] . '" target="_blank" class="new_win">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/www_sm.gif" alt="' . $context['member']['website']['title'] . '" />' : $txt['www']), '</a></li>';



Change it to this:

Code Select Expand



// Don't show an icon if they haven't specified a website.
if ($context['member']['website']['url'] !== '' && !isset($context['disabled_fields']['website']))
echo '
<li><a rel="nofollow" href="', $context['member']['website']['url'], '" title="' . $context['member']['website']['title'] . '" target="_blank" class="new_win">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/www_sm.gif" alt="' . $context['member']['website']['title'] . '" />' : $txt['www']), '</a></li>';

No. I didn't work:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/*****/public_html/geldverdienenopinternetforum.nl/Themes/default/Profile.template.php on line 75

Maybe it's a good idea to do a mod request. I think this is a very useful mod for every SMF forum owner. Don't you think?

[Sir Osis of Liver]

If you edited the code correctly, it won't throw a parse error.

I will test it again later today or tommorrow.

Will this help?

I had same problem and ended searching for 'website' through all source files and fix it here:

themes/core/Display.template.php
themes/default/Display.template.php
themes/default/Profile.template.php

a mod would be great!
