usage of rel="external nofollow"

I added the js for allowing rel="external", rel="nofollow" & rel="external nofollow" in a href tags to the core earlier in reboot.

I think it would be ideal to replace all occurences of target="_blank" in the core.

but (yeah there's always a but) lol

does anyone have any suggestions or advice on exactly which rel value to use in certain places?

for example:

rel="external" will act exactly like target="_blank" and open the link in a new window, web crawlers and search engine bots will also then follow that link and score it.

rel="nofollow" will open the link in the same window, but tells the crawlers and bots to not follow the link and/or score the link either.

rel="external nofollow" will do a combination of the above, the link will open in a new window but crawlers & bots are told not to follow/score the link/destination etc.

so where should each be used properly? when should a bot be told not to score the link/destination & when is it acceptable for the bot to score it?



Re: Auditing Code (security wise)

ahh yes you are right Dave :) i knew it was to do with the GET requests but wasn't 100% sure if it bypassed the sanitizer or not.. thinking about it now tho, i can't understand why i thought it would do as that would be nightmare for abuse.

Re: Auditing Code (security wise)

I don't think queryf bypasses the text sanitizer; it just allows non-SELECT queries, such as UPDATE and INSERT, to be done when processing a GET request. But I agree that queryf should only be used in special situations when it's really needed.

Should we also review where queryf is used in key modules, as this is often misused by developers who want a quick way to access core tables.

Herko



yes, i think that should also be done aswell being as queryF bypasses the text sanitizer etc. good point :)

I guess it's worth a try as an experiment.



Modules

Hi,
I think that some modules should be in standard like : news, forums,links,polls etc. and delevoped by core team.

Friendly URLS

Whatever direction ImpressCMS will go, I'm pretty sure that friendly URL will be something we need.

Is there anyone here who would like to take on this task ?

We do have one at the moment - but a contest is not a bad idea for later

But lets see any other ideas you have for a logo also.

Hello,
There would be a good idea to make unique theme for support site's. I don't think that placing all support site's is a good idea becouse what will be when server is hacked or offline ?



A very good idea - for an official Support Site theme ....
