Joomla & VirtueMart Tips & How To's

How it works -

If the page is from a category enabled via the parameters the plugin is parsed unless the page id is specifically excluded. If you need all categories to have no-follow insert a    all   in the text area.

It also excludes any authors whose IDs are entered in the parameters.

It parses the page content for links.

It then inserts the rel="nofollow" attribute on any link that is not from the site, i.e. only external links.

Installation -

• Install in the normal way via Extensions-->Install/Uninstall.
• Enable the plugin via Extensions-->Plugin Manager.
• Insert the category id of the articles you want to include the rel="nofollow" in. Insert  all  if all categories are included.
• You can exclude particular articles by inserting their id in the 3rd text box.
• You can exclude particular authors by inserting their id in the 4th text box.
• Multiple id's should be comma separated, no spaces e.g. 3,4,5
• You can choose whether the external links open in a new window i.e. include the target="_blank" parameter.

How it works -

• It replaces a unique tag {*jpageviews 00 none} (asterisk inserted to prevent parsing) with the number of page views (hits) of the chosen article along, optionally, with the linked title to the page.
• N.B. For the first 9 ids a leading 0 is nesscesary e.g 02
• If the required page views (hits) is the currently displayed page then the number to insert is 00.
• If you require another page then insert that article id number.
• If you require a left or right float then use those words, otherwise use none.
• The text boxes accept html so if you wanted a different text colour, font etc you could apply a class and style it in your css sheet or just add a span styling in the first and last text box.
  
  e.g. 1st text box - <span style="color:red;">The number of hits for
  3rd text box - visitors.</span>

Installation -

• Install in the normal way via Extensions-->Install/Uninstall.
• Enable the plugin via Extensions-->Plugin Manager.
• Fill in any text you may want in the text boxes.
• Choose whether you want the article titles and whether the title is linked.

Example -

{*jpageviews 00 none}
{*jpageviews 58 none}
{*jpageviews 22 none}
{*jpageviews 239 none}
