XF 2.2 Admin Links should be nofollow

[darkeye]

Hi there, with my admin account I am linking to lot's of other websites. I want to link to these sites always with nofollow. How I can realize that for all my links before and for links in future?

I made this custom bbcode for that.






One of these days, I really must dig out a font awesome icon and add that to the icons in the text editor.

This is unnecessary.

If you are using XF 2.2 then you can control which users have links which are "nofollow" using the permision 'Bypass "nofollow" in submitted content links'.

Wow thanks. J am on 2.2.1 but I hadn't noticed that permission.

Question: Should we be using the rel="ugc" for user-generated content rather than "nofollow"?

This is what google recommends. "We recommend marking user-generated content (UGC) links, such as comments and forum posts, as ugc."

In 2.2, the links are both nofollow and ugc (as mentioned just below the bit you screenshotted).

@Mike is this true for staff links as well?

In previous versions, staff links were dofollow by default. Has this changed?

 

[Mike]

We do insert this permission on upgrade to try to approximate it, but it may not be the same in all scenarios (our permission inserts trigger based on other permissions, so in this case, it's based on the ability to view IPs).

You can always use the permission analyzer to check whether a user has the permission.

@Mike Ok so it hasn't changed. Staff links are still rel="dofollow" if the permission is set like this, correct?

 

[Mike]

Correct. Same as before, now you just have control over who it applies to.

@Mike

Assuming that admins are set to bypass nofollow as above, what about the case where an admin posts a link that s/he specifically wants to be be nofollow?

I used to have a nofollow bbcode but it seems it no longer works. Can the link be edited in code mode to add the nofollow attribute?

 

[Mike]

There isn't any sort of opt in/out option on a per link basis (so you would need a custom BB code for that).

Hello,

I've set up like described but new link posted are still "no follow". I can't solve this issue.
