[WMTech] External Link Interstitial 1.0.4

[wmtech]

wmtech submitted a new resource:

External Link Interstitial - Show an interstitial page if someone leaves your site

Description:
External Link Interstitial is a very small add-on which activates the built-in interstitial screen in XenForo 1.3 to be shown at all external links if you've enabled link proxy.

This has 2 Advantages:
1) Your visitor gets a message that she/he now leaves your site.
2) The referer-log of the target URL does not refer to the actual page with the link at your site any more.

By default the XenForo built-in redirect screen is only shown if an error occurs...

I was just about to go looking for an add-on like this, well done; the implementation is nice and simple .

One thing I was looking for, though; was the ability for users to either turn it off (via an option) or for the ability for it to be turned off for a certain user group, it would be great for a newbies on a forum, but would maybe become tedious after a while?

May I ask, no admin settings/option for this?
Great work

Getting this error clicking on a link:

Seems to be a problem with Waindigo Thumbnails Add-on, according to the error messages…

 

[wmtech]

@yavuz - Your error seems not to be related with our add-on.

I also see no possibility for the error to be introduced by this add-on, because it is basically just a one-liner, changes just a single variable to force XenForo to show the interstitial and does not output anything itself.

Try to deactivate Waindigo Thumbnails as a test and see if your situation changes.

wmtech updated External Link Interstitial with a new update entry:

Version 1.0.1 - Minor code adaption - No need to update for current installations.

>Version 1.0.1<
Added small part of code to make super sure that interstitial won't appear at local links.

Read the rest of this update entry...

Does this work with 1.2? I assume not.

 

[rdn]

Yes it will not work in 1.2

 

[HWS]

No, 1.3 only. Because link proxy is a new feature in 1.3.

 

[Stuart Wright]

Could someone please help me understand how

2) The referer-log of the target URL does not refer to the actual page with the link at your site any more

is an advantage?

 

[HWS]

Could someone please help me understand how is an advantage?

This is an advantage in some countries with certain legal regulations for sites with user generated content.
Usually you don't need this.

I'm getting an error with proxy.php. Is there something I have to do to enable the link proxy or is this a server issue?

• Go to yourforumurl/admin.php?options/list/messageOptions
• Image and Link Proxy
• Enable "Proxy Links"

Thank you for the reply. However when I do that, thats when the error starts happening.


Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /proxy.php on this server.


I have CHMOD proxy.php to 777 as well and same thing.

You do not have to change anything with any files in your XF installation. Just activate the link proxy setting in XF ACP.

Also, this add-on only works with XF 1.3 and above (as it is stated in it's description).

That's what I did originally. I keep getting that forbidden proxy error. I have 1.3.3

Be sure to upload the files of this add-on correctly and reupload them if necessary.
