Link Target Automation

[WillStrohl]

Assuming that someone can get links to work... (See Issue #437 )

The link should automatically be parsed and, if the domain is not in the list of HTTP aliases for the current site/portal, the link should automatically include a _blank target.

Along the same lines, I think a good option as a setting/preference would be to also include the option for an administrator to specify whether a nofollow attribute is also added to external links.

That is already in working for all auto links

ActiveForums/class/Utilities.cs

Line 393 in b063fad

const string outSite = "<a href=\"{0}\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">{1}</a>";

It might be better to split that function up and parse all links for target="_blank" and "nofollow"

[Timo-Breumelhof]

I guess the idea was "if you allow your users to create their own links..."

[Timo-Breumelhof]

AutoLink code strips all <a> tags and then re-inserts them.
If needed adding _blank and nofollow
(so all links will be like that, AFAIK there are no settings for this)
