Hey there! I would like to redirect all external links (or if not possible to filter, all links) to e.g. exit.website.tld/?page={{URL}} Is this possible with Discourse? If not, is there a Plugin for that? I already searched but couldn’t find one with the search queries I used. So similar to how St…

I had been thinking about this as well; I wanted to append the Internet Archive save URL to all external links, and let’s be honest: it would be cool to set by category. I figure there is some filter thing to be done by a plugin, but folks do things with theme components that seem to bend the rules…

We view this as kind of a user-hostile feature to have (along the lines of “forum signatures”), so it’d need to be a plugin. Not sure if it could be done in a theme component? I’ve seen this request before in the context of safety, as in :scream: oh noes! you’re about to visit a HYPERLINK to a WE…

I run a category for archiving websites. Our use case is super-specific/lazy. :slight_smile: Also, I think of the web archive proxy as being similar to grabbing a copy of an image in a message, but again, I run a category for archiving websites. :nerd_face:

It’s fair, there may be some valid use cases, I’m just out here fighting for the users, man… [OpenTerrificEquestrian-size_restricted]

Jeff has made it clear that this will need to be a plugin (unless it can be done in a theme, which seems likely). History suggests that if you develop the login and hundreds of sites want it, including dozens of enterprise customers, it should become an official plugin in only a few years. But, if …

[afbeelding] pfaffman: My guess is that it’s at least $1000 but I could be wrong. While I don’t have experience with Discourse Themes etc., I have basic experience with JS and HTML. Something like this shouldn’t be more than 10-20 Minutes of Work. Why would that need a budget of $1000?

If you can do it in twenty minutes then you should have done it already. I’m still pretty bad at javascript and ember, maybe it’s much easier than I think. I think that it’s several hours work. Please post a link to your theme! I can’t wait to see it.

After around 5 Minutes I got working JS Code (which still needs some improvements, but it works; 10 lines by the way) The only thing I need to find out now is how to run this code after page load…

Awesome! Glad it was so easy! That stuff takes me an insane amount of time. I’m usually better as guessing how long it should take.
