Google last query plugin and nofollow option

Post by Easyfunk »

Hello s9y Users,

I was thinking about a new option for the Google last query plugin. In the current version you can choose whether to open links in a new window or in the same window, which is nice. But for me it would be more important to choose an option for using nofollow for the links. In most cases I'm not friend of nofollow, but I don't think, that it would be useful to give google massiv backlinks. :wink:
For a workaround I replaced the about blank option with the nofollow attribute (you can see it here: http://www.welt-hertha-linke.de). But I think it would be great to implement another option for users to choose whether to use follow or nofollow.
I don't have the skills to implement that. But maybe someone can do this or give me some advice to do it. I think this will be no big thing, or?

Thanks for your help!

Hi!

That's a good idea, I just committed a patch ot that plugin so that rel=nofollow is always used.
