SEO Do-follow & No-follow backlinks for certain users possible!?

[surfsup]

In VbSEO its possible to make everyones links no-follow and in the backend I can whitelist certain users who reach a certain amount of posts and provide them with a do-follow backlink for their site.

Is something like this possible for Xenforo ??

Non-staff links are no-follow by default iirc.

So how do you make certain non-staff users do-follow ?

This may help:

That identifies the relevant code, though your specific application may require slightly different code. This obviously requires some programming ability.

I dont want ALL sig links to be do-follow because I want it to be a Privilege for certain members to have a do-follow backlink....

Possible!?

you can create an add-on extending public function prepareUser(array $user) to solve this

Untested, but this should work:

library/XenForo/ViewPublic/Helper/Message.php

Add the red code:

		if ($options['signatureKey'] && isset($message[$options['signatureKey']]))
		{
			if ($options['showSignature'])
			{
				$userModel = XenForo_Model::create('XenForo_Model_User');
				$noFollow = !$userModel->isMemberOfUserGroup($message, 11);

				// note: signatures are always nofollow'd by default
				$message[$options['signatureHtmlKey']] = new XenForo_BbCode_TextWrapper(
					$message[$options['signatureKey']], $parser, array('lightBox' => false, 'noFollowDefault' => $noFollow)
				);
			}
			else
			{
				$message[$options['signatureHtmlKey']] = '';
			}
		}

You need to specify the privileged group id (that gets "do follow" links).

I've just released this add-on:

http://xenforo.com/community/resources/user-group-based-dofollow-urls.803/

It allows dofollow links in posts and signatures for specified user groups.
