Description
Hi,
I just noticed, that the link module does not add the rel=nofollow module on my website. This causes a problem with affiliate links, where Google's webmaster quality guidelines state to add that attribute to paid links.
I checked the database using:
select field_MYTYPE_MYFIELD_url, field_MYTYPE_MYFIELD_attributes from content_type_MYTYPE;
and the result was "N;" or "a:3:{s:6:"target";s:7:"default";s:5:"class";s:0:"";s:3:"rel";s:0:"";}" for all entries. Seems like the settings do not make it into the database, not even when saving the node again after checking the target=_blank option.

Hmm... I'll get on this as well.

As I suspected, the problem was much the same as in #625552: Additional CSS Class ommited on output, and was fixed with the same patch. Have a look-see at the new dev release when it's dated Nov-09 and try that out. You probably will need to edit any nodes you created with the previous version.
