Howto add rel="nofollow" to the <txp:link /> tag

smallt · 2006-07-21 18:44:12

Is anyone aware of a way to add “rel=nofollow” to the <txp:link /> tag? The links page on my site (http://www.smallTransport.com/links/) gets quite a bit of traffic and I would like to ensure the rel=“nofollow” tag is added to the links. Am I missing something?

According to TextBook:

<pre>Tag will accept the following attributes (note: attributes are case sensitive):
rel=“relation” Value for the HTML rel attribute. Default is empty. [4.0.4]</pre>

[4.0.4] means: not yet, but soon :)

Are you meaning to say I can add rel=“nofollow” to the textpattern <txp:link /> tag?

Not yet, but it will be in the next version (4.0.4).

I noticed that in textBook it said the tag accepted re=“relation” but it does not work for me. hmmm. The following code breaks textpattern’s rendering of the links:

<txp:link rel=“nofollow” />

duh, I overlooked that minor detail. Thanks. I wonder if there is a way in the interim for me to modify the textpattern php to always incorporate rel=“nofollow”?

You can’t do it yet :) See here.

Sure, if I’m not mistaken it’s in taghandlers.php, function linklist.

Need an example?

Sorry I didn’t get back to the forum yesterday. The php file you pointed me to worked beautifully. Thank you so very much for your help!

Please note that the taghandlers.php I pointed to is in the development branche, there may be other changes in this file’s code that won’t work well with 4.0.3!

You can do this right now with zem’s rockin PR-Block Plugin

I use it to assign classes and establish rel attributes… works beautifully :)

I edited my taghandlers.php to add this (hadn’t thought of the plugin at the time). I also added title=$linkname for txp:link so that strict validation/accessibility wouldn’t keep telling me “no title”.

I did notice that if you have html tags (eg <code><acronym title=“Content Management System”>CMS</acronym></code>) in the link description, it screws up the display if you use txp:linkdesctitle . Looks like this has been addressed for the next version if I’m reading that Trac page Els posted correctly.
