Add rel="noreferrer" to link SMF in footer

[kruimeltje]

Hi all,

I would like to add "noreferrer" to the simplemachines forum link in the footer.
I checked the index.template folder and found this code:

Code Select Expand

// There is now a global "Go to top" link at the right.
echo '
<ul>
<li class="floatright"><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=help"  rel="noreferrer">', $txt['help'], '</a> ', (!empty($modSettings['requireAgreement'])) ? '| <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=help;sa=rules"  rel="noreferrer">' . $txt['terms_and_rules'] . '</a>' : '', ' | <a href="#top_section"  rel="noreferrer">', $txt['go_up'], ' &#9650;</a></li>
<li class="copyright" >', theme_copyright(), '</li>
</ul>';

But I don't see where I can add the "noreferrer" tag for the link to SimpleMachines. I think it is in the Theme_copyright() function, but can't find theme_copyright either.

Every tip is more than welcome.

Thanks in advance!

Looks like it's in Themes/default/languages/index.english.php:

Code Select Expand


$forum_copyright = '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=credits" title="License" target="_blank" rel="noopener">%1$s &copy; %2$s</a>, <a href="http://www.simplemachines.org" title="Simple Machines" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Simple Machines</a>';

Thanks!

Why?

I am sure you will find that it will offer you no benefit, or make no search engine happy. On the contrary, a noreferrer tag makes it harder for Google and the likes to gather analytic data.

Seems a little odd to me that that thing is in a language file.

Back in the 1.0 or 1.1 days (I forget which), the string was "Powered by SMF" which did need to be a language string for obvious reasons.
