Weblinks component and direct address for SEO

[raschidt]

Hi.

The web links components don´t works for SEO, the way that it works don´t pass the Page Rank to the other addrees.

Then I put in the description the html code for a direct addrees, something like_:

Costa rica Directory stores,
movies, properties, etc.

But the component replace all that by:

Costa rica Directory stores,
movies, properties, etc.


Then I have not way to make direct links.

How can I hack this component?

I really don´t need the counter, i need keept that component, (I won´t loss my PR) but with direct links. How?

thanks

If someone needs that, there is my solution:

In Componentes-com-weblinks:weblinks.html

on line:

136

Original:

Code: Select all

				// cases are slightly different
				case 1:
					// open in a new window
					$txt = '<a href="'. $link .'" target="_blank" class="'. $menuclass .'">'. $row->title .'</a>';

and replace by

Code: Select all

				case 1:
					// open in a new window
					$txt = '<a href="'. $row->url  .'" target="_blank">'. $row->title .'</a>';
					break;

After that I select for each item the option 1 "New window with browser navigation"

and comment the next lines:

Code: Select all

				case 2:
					// open in a popup window
					/* $txt = "<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"javascript: window.open('". $row-> ."', '', 'toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=780,height=550'); return false\" class=\"$menuclass\">". $row->title ."</a>\n"; */

This does not give direct link? Is it maybe because I use S404sef?

Hi Guys

Does anyone know what to do for joomla 2.5?
I can't submit my site to directories which require reciprocal links placed on my site.
