how can i disable the links in text body

hi

another question

how can i disable the link in text body. for example when i type this:

http://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/seo-tec ... -vt30.html

the phpbb will recognize it as a link. we know that part of text is not wrapped
by [url][/url] but that text will change to a link. how can i disable this feature.
i want only the text between [url][/url] recognized as a link.
i want to know that is possible to show this sort of links :

http://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/seo-tec ... -vt30.html

in this shape

htxp://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/seo-techniques/locking-the-www-in-urls-vt30.html

(put text in <b> tag istead of <a> tag or put it in a styled span tag )

?

i think with this trick i can control the amount of external link in my forum
users are very careless about putting dash before URLs
SEO chat forum are using this method.

The link is made active in phpBB post in viewtopic, using the make_clickable() phpBB function.

Look for :

Code: Select all

   $message = make_clickable($message);

As you see, just one line above there is :

Code: Select all

   if ( $user_sig != '' )
   {
      $user_sig = make_clickable($user_sig);
   }

Wich is as well turning URLs into active links but in the signature this time.

Let's do this nicely.

Open :

viewtopic.php

Find :

Code: Select all

   if ( $user_sig != '' )
   {
      $user_sig = make_clickable($user_sig);
   }
   $message = make_clickable($message);

replace with :

Code: Select all

   // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
   // Set here the limit before links are active
   // 0 for never
   $min_posts = 25;
   if (intval($postrow[$i]['user_posts']) > $min_posts ) {
   if ( $user_sig != '' )
   {
      $user_sig = make_clickable($user_sig);
   }
   $message = make_clickable($message);
   }
   // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END

This way, the links becomes active once the user has reach a certain amount of posts, set up on this line :

Code: Select all

   $min_posts = 25;

The bold thing need some changes in make_clickable(), tell me if you really want it

[AmirAbbas]

hi

i think you forgot this topic

[dcz]

No I did not, but this is a real mod you're asking for here, not a simple tweak.

I'll take a look at it, I promise

Could you search a bit at phpBB.com and phpbbhacks.com to see if such mod does not already exists ?

All right, finally, I came up with a simple one

Open :

Code: Select all

viewtopic.php

find :

Code: Select all

   if ( $user_sig != '' )
   {
      $user_sig = make_clickable($user_sig);
   }
   $message = make_clickable($message);

Replace with :

Code: Select all

   // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
   // Set here the limit before links are active
   // 0 for never
   $min_posts = 25;
   if (intval($postrow[$i]['user_posts']) > $min_posts ) {
      if ( $user_sig != '' ) {
         $user_sig = make_clickable($user_sig);
      }
      $message = make_clickable($message);
   } else {
      if ( $user_sig != '' ) {
         $user_sig = make_boldlink($user_sig);
      }
      $message = make_boldlink($message);
   }
   // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END

Open :

Code: Select all

includes/bbcode.php

Find :

Code: Select all

   // Remove our padding..
   $ret = substr($ret, 1);

   return($ret);
}

After add :

Code: Select all

// www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
/**
* Will do the same matchings as make_clickable() but will add bold
* instead of href tags.
* email will be outputed bolds and inactive too : email-AT-domain.com
*/
function make_boldlink($text)
{
   $text = preg_replace('#(script|about|applet|activex|chrome):#is', "\\1:", $text);

   // pad it with a space so we can match things at the start of the 1st line.
   $ret = ' ' . $text;

   // matches an "xxxx://yyyy" URL at the start of a line, or after a space.
   // xxxx can only be alpha characters.
   // yyyy is anything up to the first space, newline, comma, double quote or <
   $ret = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ])([\w]+?://[\w\#$%&~/.\-;:=,?@\[\]+]*)#is", "\\1<b>\\2</b>", $ret);

   // matches a "www|ftp.xxxx.yyyy[/zzzz]" kinda lazy URL thing
   // Must contain at least 2 dots. xxxx contains either alphanum, or "-"
   // zzzz is optional.. will contain everything up to the first space, newline,
   // comma, double quote or <.
   $ret = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ])((www|ftp)\.[\w\#$%&~/.\-;:=,?@\[\]+]*)#is", "\\1<b>\\2</b>", $ret);

   // matches an email@domain type address at the start of a line, or after a space.
   // Note: Only the followed chars are valid; alphanums, "-", "_" and or ".".
   $ret = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ])([a-z0-9&\-_.]+?)@([\w\-]+\.([\w\-\.]+\.)*[\w]+)#i", "\\1<b>\\2-AT-\\3</b>", $ret);

   // Remove our padding..
   $ret = substr($ret, 1);

   return($ret);
}
// www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END

oops

thanks a lot
this is very useful

cdz
another thanks for simple rewrite mod zero dupe you sent for me in PM
i forgot to reply to that PM

[dcz]

You're welcome

[AmirAbbas]

hi

another suggestion

how can we add rel"nofollow" to these sort of links ?
its very good because this trick is both user friendly and bot friendly


why you dont release it as a mod in phpbb.com
these mod are very useful

[dcz]

I'll compile this into a mod when we'll have all the feature we want.


To add nofollow tag for the links posted without bbcode :

like this http://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/

Open :

Code: Select all

includes/bbcode.php

Find :

Code: Select all

   $ret = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ])([\w]+?://[\w\#$%&~/.\-;:=,?@\[\]+]*)#is", "\\1<a href=\"\\2\" target=\"_blank\">\\2</a>", $ret);


Replace with :

Code: Select all

   // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
   $ret = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ])([\w]+?://[\w\#$%&~/.\-;:=,?@\[\]+]*)#is", "\\1<a href=\"\\2\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">\\2</a>", $ret);
   // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END

To add them even in bbcode links open :

Code: Select all

template/subSilver/bbcode.tpl

Find :

Code: Select all

<!-- BEGIN url --><a href="{URL}" target="_blank" class="postlink">{DESCRIPTION}</a><!-- END url -->

Replace with :

Code: Select all

<!-- BEGIN url --><a href="{URL}" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="postlink">{DESCRIPTION}</a><!-- END url -->

But this would concern all links, I'll see how to only add the nofollow tag to external links only.

[AmirAbbas]

thank you a lot


rel="nofollow" is supported with all bots. am i right ?

[dcz]

You're welcome, and yes, at least the major ones do follow the nofollow directive.

It was them to want this new tag to fight against spam indexing in blogs, so they'd better do it

[AmirAbbas]

a little problem

i have applied changes to bbcode.php but sometimes for some links it doesn't work. for example

http://forum.persia-cms.com/topic-vt150.html
the link in first post

or this one
http://forum.persia-cms.com/topic-vt140.html
the link in first post

[dcz]

Have you checked in the source if it was not a BBcode link ?

Because so far we only take car about the links posted without BBcodes for link deactivation.

[AmirAbbas]

Have you checked in the source if it was not a BBcode link ?

yes. i have checked.

when the domain is in this form

http://www.phpbb-seo.com

it works perfectly but when you write URL without http:// it doesn't work

for example
www.phpbb-seo.com

the system won't add rel="nofollow" to above link
