mcfd90 on "External Link Warning"
February 12, 2010 by David Olsen
I need a plugin through which links are directed (e.g. pluginname.php?http://www.google.co.uk) and display a page (following the template of the rest of the site) stating that this is an external link and this blog is not responsible for its content. If back is not clicked will redirect in five seconds or click here to do so now.
I’m aware that this could be done with JavaScript but seek a solution which will work without JS – that said all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

Same issue here. I’ll let you know if I find anything.
I’ve solved it!
This is a really cheap and dirty hack, but it works.
If you go to http://www.girlguidingbeaconsfield.org.uk/?p=25 and click ‘Read more at Bucks Free Press’, you can see it in action.
Download the plugin ‘wp-noexternallinks’ and edit’ wp-noexternallinks/wp-noexternallinks-parser.php’.
Replace line 9 with:
$sep=”.$wp_noexternallinks_parser->LINK_SEP.’=';
and line 72 with:
$this->LINK_SEP=’/external_link.php?go2′;
Then create a file called ‘external_link.php’ at your wordpress root. Add the HTML to the file, warning users that they are leaving your site, and then add a link as follows:
<a href="”>Take me to the page.
If this fails, let me know.
Also let me know if you find/think of a cleaner way to do this. It is amongst the most shameful hacks I have ever attempted.
Something isn’t working here…I got all the way to the final href link, but it just goes to the same page. Could you post the exact code from the example site?
