Nofollow?

I want to know too.

I'll look at adding this as a new feature.

Scott

Thanks Scott, I remember you had always wanted to get these new features into Links - nice - very nice

How important is NoFollow, I just know that someone once told me that it is better to use nofollow for SEO ranking - heck if I know if that is true or not

I'm doing this for CCK Link, but not really sure why.

Yikes, that reminds me - should I rework my CCK to use Links Package now? instead of using the Link field add-on for CCK

I'm thinking - yes - in that I would have more admin control - but what the heck do I know - I've only been using the new Links Package for about 30 minutes now :-)

@jwells:

You wrote "Yikes, that reminds me - should I rework my CCK to use Links Package now? instead of using the Link field add-on for CCK".

Could you please elaborate on this? Are you saying there is extant work connecting my Links Package with CCK? The reason I ask is that this is one of three high-priority feature items on my plate right now, and I don't want to reinvent any wheels if it's already done or in progress.

The goal is to get CCK to have a web URL field type that uses Links API at the back-end but is front-end fully integrated with the rest of CCK (from the user's perspective -- it will be a separate module, of course). Have you got code that already gets us partway there? Can I help in any way?

Note that to have an add-on module use Links API to store node links, you'll need to have a registered prefix for the "module" column of the {links_node} table. Please contact me to arrange this.

@everyone:

In case anyone's curious, my current development priority is to get the existing functionality into a production-worthy release (there are about 3 known critical bugs as of now). After that the next major features I plan to work on are (in random order):

• Integration with CCK
• Integration with Views
• Addition of link monitoring functionality

These are the major items; their high priority does not preclude sneaking in a few minor features such as rel=nofollow. :-)

Kind regards,

Scott

Scott,

I think I confused you.

Currently I am using the Link module by quicksketch for my CCK nodes.

I was just asking if it would be better to use related links (LP) instead.

But I now that you plan on bringing LP into CKK, way cool.

Perhpas there is code in the Link module to help?

I have an implementation of this feature in the Drupal 6.x beta which will be posted later tonight. I'm looking at a back-port to Drupal 5.

Scott

I back-ported the change to D5 and tested that it works. This change is in today's official releases for D5 and D6.
