Issue Summary
I would like to see this added to the 5 version and 6 version.
if the domain does not equal base_url, it would be nice to add nofollow.
I hate the idea of nofollow, I think it defetes the purpose of pagerank. Basically it creates a situation where everyone puts nofollow on all of there external links, and therefor no pages are referenced to other pages.
With that said, the search engines are too stupid to figure this out. This leaves us with one option... To be as stupid as they are!
I would love a complimentary filter that allows for nofollow. The filter would have to find rel="%follow%" and remove it. This will prevent the filter from doing this
WRONG
<a ref="follow" href="%basepath/"> -> <a ref="follow" href="%basepath/" ref="nofollow"also
ref = "xxx follow" or ref="xxx" should be changed to ref="xxx nofollow"
you must also be carefull not to change
href="%basepath/content/follow" -> href="%basepath/content/nofollow"
Now I am willing to work on this, but my ability to do reg expressions is really poor. I fear my code would not be good enough to make the grade! However I may be able to sucker one of my friends into doing this if its needed, but I wouldn't count on it.
