Hi, I’m having a problem getting the plugin to work with external links that are in a list. It doesn’t seem to add the “extlink” class to the links.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.
re: my previous post.
I forgot to mention that it’s only in the feedback section that it doesn’t seem to be working.

Simples e eficiente. Qualquer link externo será marcado com o parâmetro class=”external” e pronto. Para não editar manualmente todos os links de seu blog, se você usa o Wordpress como gerenciador, eu sugiro o plugin Identify External Links com umas pequenas alterações para dar um ‘gás’. Primeiro, edite-o para mudar o nome da classe de “extlink” para “external” caso queira utilizar o css de exemplo acima. Caso contrário, basta definir sua classe com nome de

I’m old fashioned when approaching a web design but the blogging community have convinced me to stop with the target=”_blank”. Not that I prefer it, but because they seem to think it

allows you to add a CSS class style to your links to create various tiny icons indicating if the link will leave the site, the type of file, and other link information, helping the reader know what they are clicking before they click. Identify External Links WordPress Plugin is another CSS link styler that helps you add styles, looks, and graphics to your blog links.
thanks!
works like expected
that’s my style: .extlink:after { content: “279A” }
shown eg. here
Boah, really great job! Thanks
Great plugin – thanks; however I seem to be having a slight problem with it… most of my links are working fine, but the plugin doesn’t seem to identify anything with a .co.uk domain name as being external to my site (http://www.markwilson.co.uk/).
As I have a UK-based website it’s a bit of a problem! Strangely it’s OK with .me.uk and .com.au so it’s not all two-level TLDs that cause an issue.
Thanks for any advice that you can give?
Good site! I found in google.com +

s klassifiziert. Ein einfaches Suchen und Ersezten hat geholfen, meinen Code ein klein bißchen sauberer zu machen. Um sich das Klassifizieren externer Links per Hand (oder mit Hilfe von WP AddQuickTags) zu ersparen, habe ich heute Identify External Links installiert. Auf den ersten Blick scheint es sehr gut zu arbeiten und ich kann mir gut vorstellen, es auf Dauer einzusetzten. Allerdings muss beachtet werden, dass das Plugin alle Subdomains der eigenen Domain als intern bewertet.

Use a module or a plugin to mark the external links to indicate that they’re external, and if you wish – forward outgoing links to a new window. If you’re using Wordpress, consider installing the “External Links Plugin For WordPress” or “Identify External Links”. If you’re using Drupal, consider installing the “External Links Module”. Use Snap or other preview tools that open a small preview window of where the link is leading to. You can also use MyBlogLog

This plug-in is great!
But..it doesn’t add ‘target=”_blank”‘ to the title linked to the external link.
It’s common that syndicated article’s(by auto-feeder) title is linked to the external site(to the original source) and it’s needed esp. when the contents are excerpt; so the user can go see entire contents from the source site rather than seeing full post which is just the same excerpt…
Could you update the code or let me know how to add that that feature?
Thank you in advance!
I’m submitting a fix for the target “_blank” issue. It actually only opens links in a new page with if there is an image. Add the following to make it work with text too.
Change your parse_external_links function with this one:
function parse_external_links($matches){
global $txfx_iel_use_target_blank;
if ($txfx_iel_use_target_blank)
{
if ( wp_get_domain_name_from_uri($matches[3]) != wp_get_domain_name_from_uri($_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]) )
{
return ‘‘ . $matches[5] . ‘‘;
}
}
if ( wp_get_domain_name_from_uri($matches[3]) != wp_get_domain_name_from_uri($_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]) )
{
return ‘‘ . $matches[5] . ‘‘;
}
else
{
return ‘‘ . $matches[5] . ‘‘;
}
}
(This plugin still also appears to only add the class attribute to text links. So another fix is probably needed if it is desirable to have the class on images and text links too.)

You have a very minor bug on line 35:

Hi,
I was up all night trying to figure out how to get back into my site and then determine what caused the problem. Little by little, I managed to get things working. Finally, I narrowed it down to an issue with your plugin, which I had been using without a hitch for months.
I don’t know what caused it, but when I attempted to use the one click update on a deactivated plugin called “Share This,” the system locked up waiting for the update to download. When I gave up waiting and left the page, I couldn’t get back in. That event may have corrupted your plugin somehow.
When I activated all my plugins, I received # 500 error messages. I deactivated them all and reactivated one at a time checking my index page and single post pages too. Your plugin ended up causing blank pages to load.
I’m no expert in reading plugin code, but if you want me to zip and email you your plugin to take a look at to see what might have happened to it, I will.
I just thought this might help somehow head off some incompatibility issues.
I did enjoy your plugin. The only thing I noticed about it I would bother changing concerns the icons looking bad upon changing resolution. I checked the icons on Wikipedia to see if that happens to them too. It doesn’t. You might want to check out the difference between what they’re doing and your icons.
I’ll keep your plugin installed but deactivated so I’ll know when there’s an update to try again.
Thanks. Sorry this was so long. I think it’s partly because I’m overly tired.
God bless,
Tom Usher
Hello again.
I wanted to give you an update and make a clarification so my earlier comment won’t leave other readers wondering.
Wow, I was tired. I still am, but I wanted to let you know that I confused your plugin with the “Link Indication” plugin when I reactivated my plugins after the “Share This” one-click-upgrade crash.
I had not had your plugin activated for months. I had left it installed in the non-activated group so I would not try it again without an update that wouldn’t cause the blank-pages problem.
I hope that makes sense.
Your plugin is a good concept, but “Link Indication” seems to be capable of doing the same and more without locking up my site.
Thank you for your patience with me while I’m sleep deprived.
Tom Usher
Just tried this plugin and it didn’t work… is there any instruction on how to debug this plugin?
Greetings:
I just installed your great plug in to add the “target=_blank” feature automatically but I’m really confused because I don’t know what should I do to do so.
Have a nice day and thanks,

It appears that an anchor tag containing single quote marks around the url rather than double quotes causes the plugin to ignore the link.
The problem is solved by changing line 50 to:
` $pattern = ‘/(.*?)/i’;`
I’ll try again:
I just tried your plugin at both of my wordpress blogs: scums and turds, thats really what they are called. And I cannot seem to get it to work. Can you be a little bit more specific about the line of code to use in the stylesheet? Or is there another way to make it autorun? thanks. Hacha
