    Links not working with outgoing Urchin tracking

    I just noticed a bit ago that none of the links in the postbit are working (person's homepage link, MySpace links). example page: UM.com would like to welcome Quo Vadis! - Ultimate Metal Forum

    Here is the code for the link:
    Code:
    http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/quo-vadis/264610-um-com-would-like-welcome-quo-vadis.html
    Is this a known issue? I couldn't find much when I searched the forum.

    Hello Deron,

    you can add "novbseo" attribute to these links as described here:

    That was a post in the pre-release forum. Here's the content of that post:


    Well.. now vBulletin code that creates menu works as following:
    if there is an "onclick" handler already assigned to a link, the link is removed (I'm not sure why, but this is how it works). The code looks like (vbulletin_menu.js):
    HTML Code:
                        if (typeof linkobj.onclick == 'function')
                        {
                            tds[i].ofunc = linkobj.onclick;
                            tds[i].onclick = vB_Popup_Events.prototype.menuoption_onclick_function;
                            remove_link = true;
                        }
    what are the workarounds?
    1. modify postbit template and add rel="novbseo" to the member URL links (these links will not be processed by vBSEO as a result), VBSEO_ALLOW_REL_NOVBSEO should be manually enabled in config_vbseo.php:
    HTML Code:
    <a rel="novbseo" href="$post[homepage]">
    2. OR disable analytics tracking of external urls
    3. OR modify vbulletin_menu.js file commenting out "remove_link = true;" line

    Hi,

    i edit the template with "novbseo", Problem is now, that there is no rel=nofollow on all that links. I dont find the javascript code to edit and i want to have the external urchin working.

    Any ideas ?

    Why that first starts with 3.7.1 and the rc7 vbseo. Before we had not that problem, although this topic is very old.

    Rob

    You can manually add rel=nofollow as well if needed.
