parseof all: Thank You! Your «Identify External Links» plug-in works great. But one little thing: I can’t get it to «parse» (I hope that’s the right word) the links-list on the sidebar. Check out my site bureaublumenberg to see what I’m talking about … I looked in the phps of my theme and your plug-in — but my knowledge is far from good. I tried to find/create a filter (in your plug-in) around line #63:
... add_filter('the_content', 'wp_external_links', 2);but I have no idea what’s replacement should be. Maybe you’ll have an idea. Thanks in advance, Yoram...

I’m just wondering if there’s a filter to add to get it to add the external class to the “get_links_list” or any of the other link-displaying options. Thanks.
Cool! Easy to install even for a beginner like me. I’ve made it work in less than a couple of second. I recommend it to everyone. Thank you for this.
Great idea!
For those of us who know *nothing* about php:
Could you please show how to edit the php to get it to add target=”_blank” to external links?
Thanks
I’ve made a version with the target=”_blank” option available at http://andrefrancoislandry.ca/?p=13 for those who know little about PHP.
Is it possible to have the script accept several domains as “internal”, i.e. if you have the blog on DomainA, but have a redirect from DomainB (C, D, E…)?
Grendel,
Yep, I can modify it to do that. I’ll try and do it tonight.

When I use the quicktag, your external link identifier think that the more link is an external link instead of properly seeing that it is an internal link. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Your plugin does not work with the plugin SmartLink, because you have set the priority of 2 for the filter. SmartLink works on priority 5, so your filter starts to early and does not find any “a href=”.
If you change the priority to a value greater than 5, all works fine. I have made the following change to your source, so now it works fine with SmartLink:
add_filter('the_content', 'wp_external_links', 10);add_filter('the_excerpt', 'wp_external_links', 10);
I fixed the “more” link problem which incorrectly parsed the “read the rest of this post” links as external.
My update is available here.

Great plugin!
Any chance you (or anyone) could tell me how to get it to
a) add a title to the applicable links (e.g.
title="[external link]")but furthermore (I figured out how to do that part myself, it’s this next part I don’t know how to do)
b) add this title to any title the link might already have?
e.g. I might put a link in my post as follows
blahand I’d like this plugin to modify it so it becomes:
blahHmm, that didn’t come out how I expected (or how it did in the live preview)…
That last part should be more like this:
Jaimie,

[...] Dette er blot et testindlæg for at se om det senest installerede plugin (Identify External Links af Mark Jaquith) virker efter hensigten. Hensigten med dette plugin er at fÃ¥ samtlige links “ud af huset” i alle indlæg, til at Ã¥bne i et nyt vindue, samtidig med at de markeres med et lille ikon () som tydeliggør at her er altsÃ¥ tale om et eksternt link. Det hele sker ganske automatisk (efter at have modificeret plugin’et en lille smule, sÃ¥ det bedre passer til mine behov), uden at jeg behøver gøre andet end at tilføje mine links pÃ¥ nøjagtig den samme mÃ¥de som jeg plejer.

Hi Mark – I have been playing with your very cool external link plug in. Is it possible to make it recognize http://www.domainx.domain.com as an internal link and http://www.domain.com as an external link?
I would be great to know what thisplug actually does.I installed it and saw nothing.The instructions are poorly written nad tell newbies nothing
I am not the author, but it seems pretty straight forward to me. From above:
So when you view your live page any “a href” to a page that is outside of your blog will have a bit of code added (style=”extlink”) added to the url. (Do a view sourrce on the code of a rendered page to see what I mean.
So, until you do the next step of course you will not see anything, because you do not have the appropriate css in your style sheet yet.
Again, from above:
So add a new style to your stylesheet called “a.extlink” and style it how you like. If you don’t know how to style css, then I suggest checking out positioniseverything.net. And look! even in this comment you can see the plugin in action! see that little square box with the arrow in it letting you know that “positioniseverything.net” is an external link? That is what this plugin does.
good luck!
Oh, and one other Mark:
it seems like the external link loses its special styling when the link wraps to a second line (at least if you have an image assigned to it it loses the image). I imagine that this does not really have anything to do with your plugin, per se and more to do with css/html. any ideas for a fix?
Hello. I want to thank you for such a useful script. I’ve been using it since the first day I installed WordPress, and haven’t looked back since.
Unfortunately, though, I recently decided to use Markdown to make the posting process easier. It’s been a few days since I’ve been using it and have gotten very used to it. There’s one problem, though, your plugin won’t work now. I just realized this. I looked at the code and realized it looks at the written text before it gets translated by the markdown plugin. So now I have quite the dilemma: I love your plugin and want to keep using it, but I’ve already written quite a few medium-length posts that I’d hate to have to go into and alter all the link code. And I’d hate to have to write HTML links forever just to accomodate your plugin.
I’m more of a Perl kind of guy, and so it’d take me forever to write the correct string-search syntax to get your plugin to work with markdown. Are you considering making alterations to this code to make it play nice with markdown?
If there’s anything I can help with, let me know. I’m really interested in making these two plugins work well together, so I can have the ease of use of markdown and the efficiency of Identify External Links.
Thanks!
Nevermind! I hadn’t realized that every plugin can be assigned a priority. So I just altered your plugin to be applied after markdown does its thing. And that was that.
Thanks again for such a great plugin!
Heyrsmith,
Change the line that says
$host = $matches[2];toreturn $matches[2];(as the next line is the one that filters out the subdomain). Now the comparison will be done including the subdomain.Serge,
Just what I was going to suggest! What priority did you need to assign it, so that I can make that change in a future version for Markdown compat?
Hey thanks Mark – that works like a charm!
And the fix for my problem noted in post #42 was easy, although I decided not to implement it: just add /*white-space: nowrap;*/ to the css style in question and it forces the link to stay together on one line. This can make for some ugly pages, especially in a fully justified layout.
Thanks for the plugin work and the quick response; keep your eye on your mailbox for something off your Amazon wish list…
The Plugin is great, but it has some problems in my wordpress (1.5.2). If I use the “more-Tag”, I get an anchorlink in the post, which looks like this
“some text as teaser , more text”
With this anchor it gets problems, if there is an external link in the following text… dont know why…
Sorry.. html-tags obviously not accepted.
One more try: The plugin has a bug, if the post-text is build like this:
teaser-text more text more text
Maybe you can have a try…

[...] I like to make small changes to Losing it now and then. The latest is the inclusion of those little icons next to links to other sites. Like this one: WordPress. I’d seen this done on a few sites, and thought I’d give it a try here. Being somewhat challenged in the programming department, the way for me to do this was always going to be a plugin. The first one I tried did the job, but wasn’t quite what I was after, as it added the little icon next to images as well as text links, which looked a bit messy. So I looked around some more, and found Identify External Links by Mark Jaquith. Nice and simple, just adds a CSS class value to all off-site links appearing in posts[1]. I just had to define that, upload a suitable link icon, and it worked nicely. It doesn’t do anything to links in the sidebar, which keeps things a bit tidier, while clearly marking links that will take you somewhere else. [...]

hi, a long time ago, i posted a problem with smartlink plugin… that time, the problems was solved, now it reappears
maybe latest version changes something? (I’m using 2.3)
i changed the priority to 10, even to 99999999, but is stills without working…
example: link
Did you change the priority on all the hooks? If doing that doesn’t help, I don’t have any clue what’s going on with that other plugin (and actually, I’m updating the plugin now to make the priority very high… it should be run as late as possible, in all situations.)
yes, changed all 3 filters…

Which part of the CSS do i put it in or what is a normal way to style it? Sorry, I don’t know this stuff at all as you can probably tell
Any part of the CSS will do. You can style it however you like… I put a little arrow next to it. Look at my CSS to find out how (but use your own arrow image, of course).
Just to test that it is working:
I put that at the bottom of the editing style.css page, and it doesnt work. can you sign on aim possibly?
You did it correctly. You just don’t have any external links in your entries (except for one, but it is an image). The ESPN link you tried to make is missing

Hello, I have downloaded and installed/activated your plugin on my site. I have added the CSS a.extlink { } code and the plugin seems to be recognising external links correctly and showing them as such. My one problem is that it will NOT open the external links in a new browser window.
I have:
1) Ensured that the setting at the top of the .php plugin file is set to true (“$txfx_iel_use_target_blank = true;”)
2) Ensured that the plugin file has been uploaded correctly (not so much of an issue as seems to otherwise work)
3) Cleared my browser’s cache (and tried several browsers on several platforms)
Still no luck!!
Have you any advice on what could be causing the new window not to open with this? It’s driving me nuts!

Further to the problems I posted above, I seem to have your plugin working with the new-window option for the time being by changing the line

Hey,
Yeap Version 1.3 will not open in a new window no matter what I do. Yes I set the option correctly and I even tried the “mini-hack” above.
Version 1.2 works fine though so staying with it.
Now I have a request…
And that is you can support all four url versions?
See this to see what I mean:

“Version 1.3 will not open in a new window no matter what I do”
Sounds great to me, but mine are still opening in a new window.
Is there some way I could get a version that stops links opening up in a new window?
You see, I started my WP blog with target=blank and after a year I’d like to switch.
If I can figure out how to do this without recoding all previous posts, that would be grand.
I imagine a number of people are in my position. Seems to me there’d be more people moving over if we could have a quick fix. Or even a choice like on bloglines where it asks what your preferences are.
you could do a find/replace in the database, or use a filter to remove it on-the-fly…
$text = str_replace(' target="blank"', '', $text);Hi I found a bug in Version 1.3
Your current code recognises two types of hrefs:

I modified the code to deal with a type of href that I use on my site, which is
