To avoid spam link in your XenForo you can add rel="nofollow" to link.

Open file /library/XenForo/Helper/String.php and find:

  public static function getLinkClassTarget($url)
    {
        $target = '_blank';
        $class = 'externalLink';
        $type = 'external';
 
        $urlInfo = @parse_url($url);
        if ($urlInfo)
        {
            $host = $urlInfo['host'] . (!empty($urlInfo['port']) ? ":$urlInfo[port]" : '');
            if ($host == XenForo_Application::$host)...

I hate to say this as you've clearly put some effort into this but:

1) Editing core XenForo files is highly not recommended.
2) By default in XenForo all links created by members are assigned the rel="nofollow" attribute. No action is required for this to work.

Example: http://www.valvetime.net

View source:



URLs posted by staff do not have this attribute, but that's on the assumptions that your staff won't spam.

using "

$class = 'externalLink" rel="nofollow';

or '

$class = 'externalLink' rel="nofollow';

 

[Chris D]

using "

or '

There's no need to worry - this add on doesn't do anything.

Should be removed really.

Regardless it is a submission to the RM. If you believe it to not be of any value, rate it as such using the rating system.

Thankyou

Is this modification works with xenforo 1.2?

Will this modification have the ability to set nofollow to admin and moderators too?

There should be some option in Xenforo to change default settings for links. Being a moderator, when I link to other websites in answers for reference, I want my links to have nofollow. Is there a way to do that?

I am of the same opinion!
