Como posso impedir o redirecionamento onebox?

Hello,

Consider a situation for an affiliate marketer..

where path http://x.com/go/discourse/ is HTTP 301 to https://discourse.org/ref=1 again HTTP 301 to https://discourse.org/

Problem is when I type first link, in onebox it automatically redirect to the final destination which is causing loss of revenue.

Please help me in disabling onebox and redirection for the specific path http://x.com/go/*

I want when I type http://x.com/go/discourse/ link should be as it is without modification.

Thanks

You should be able to goto Admin -> Settings -> Onebox -> Onebox Domains Blacklist to get the result you want

Thanks for the response.

I am sorry to inform, It’s not working. :frowning:

You haven’t entered a domain in the domain blacklist.

Onebox Blacklist option is not working. Ref: video

Can you repro this @jomaxro?

I can sort-of repro this.

Entering meta.discourse.org into onebox domains blacklist correctly prevents oneboxes of meta.discourse.org links. However, entering gulshankumar.net and www.gulshankumar.net into the setting does not prevent the oneboxing of https://www.gulshankumar.net/go/sucuri-website-firewall.

Wait so the OP wants to prevent SELF oneboxing? That’s really weird.

www.gulshankumar.net isn’t an internal onebox. Discourse appears to be at help.gulshankumar.net - www.gulshankumar.net appears to be a WP site.

Still this might be an unreasonable edge case if it is the same domain. Why wouldn’t you want to onebox your own stuff?

I think the intent is to post referer links without them being obvious referer links but still have them be referer links.

For example, preserving the “u=mittineague” query string.
https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-can-i-stop-redirection/81515/12?u=mittineague

I’m not certain about what kind of RewriteRule voodoo is going on or what domains are involved.

To me, the obvious solution would be to display the link as a link and not onebox it. eg.
https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-can-i-stop-redirection/81515/12?u=mittineague

Hello,

I appreciate your curiosity, why I wouldn’t like Onebox. The major issue is redirection which happens due to Onebox.

Basically, to keep affiliate URLs short, memorable and easily managed at one place, I use redirection. I use Affiliate Link Lite plugin to convert ugly affiliate link to the branded form.

What I am expecting, If I type my affiliate URL, Onebox shoudn’t display final destination instead of clocked path (which is /go/).

Exactly. Thanks for understanding.

@codinghorror Estou enfrentando o mesmo problema básico no meu fórum, e estou me perguntando se já existe alguma maneira de forçar a blacklist do onebox a funcionar em domínios irmãos, por favor?

No meu caso, tenho forum.x.org e archive.x.org. Este último usa o fórum como provedor de SSO para permitir o acesso. Ao inserir uma URL do archive, ela é convertida em onebox, e a URL é redirecionada para um link como forum.x.org/session/sso_provider?sso=....., que, se clicado, resulta em uma página de erro.

@codinghorror Ah, acabei de verificar algo esta manhã, e parece que isso só está acontecendo com links que foram colocados em onebox (com um link redirecionado defeituoso) antes de eu adicionar o domínio de arquivamento à blacklist de onebox. Então deve haver um cache de onebox? Alguma ideia de como remover links desse cache?

Você pode adicionar uma string de consulta como

example.com/link?x

Se quiser forçar a quebra do cache.

Obrigado, bom saber. Parece que saiu do cache por conta própria a tempo, então está resolvido agora, mas é útil para qualquer problema futuro.
