are the last two a contradiction?  or at least addressing the same thing??

I assume you set the nofollow option on forum - options - content settings?

If so, its possible those couple slipped through the cracks of using that option... I can open a ticket for research and fixing if needed...

I set the nofollow option on forum, but thi option can add a nofollow tag only in the content of a topic and it work correctly.

In simple:press users can add a personal link in to profile (website), this link has not nofollow tag.

Same way users can add signature, without nofollow tag.

 

I have added in this forum profile my site for explain the problem, here is nofollow: link, the left icon "Visit my website" has no tag nofollow, the bottom signature of topic ha no nofollow tag too.

 

Yes, the second thing for me is a contraddiction, if one user has the signature with link permission then "website link" in every topic is no usefull, my website is on seo and internet affiliations and it can become spam..

but it is not very important.

Steve has opened a ticket I see to cover this.

You can change the target of a users website link in the profile setup options. One thing you could do here is set it to show as a website icon and then remove the display of that icon from the template. If you really wanted to remove it totally.

Thanks,

yes this is the solution applicated in past, but when an update is released i must redo everything, if the link has nofollow (or external) tag applied then it is ok

Do you mean removing the item from your theme template. If so then the usual rule applies here - as always we recommend that you create your own SP theme so that any customisation is not lost during a future update. (http://codex.simple-press.com/.....g-a-theme/)

But - as I say - Steve has raised a ticket on this so it will get looked into and corrected.

I notice nofollow attribute appear in signature after update,
but the "website" personal field still hasn't updated with this tag.

The 'website' link is a display item that is driven by your theme and the spTopicView.php template. Whether nofollow is in use is dependent upon the arguments passed to that display function. If you want to turn nofollow on then you will need to add this argument.

You will need to make an edit to the spTopicView.php template in your Sp theme (you can use the theme editor for this).

Locate the call that probably will be shown as:

sp_PostIndexUserWebsite('', __sp('Visit my website'));

and change that to

sp_PostIndexUserWebsite('noFollow=1', __sp('Visit my website'));

and that should do it. Note the capitalisation.

As always we recommend that you create your own SP theme so that any customisation is not lost during a future update. (http://codex.simple-press.com/.....g-a-theme/)
