  External Link Control, Secure Redirection & Advanced Logging System

  Don't leave your forum's exit doors unchecked! XenDev External Links allows you to manage all external URLs shared on your forum from a single central point, enhancing security and automating SEO standards.
  
  With this add-on, external links are no longer an "uncontrolled exit" but a managed, trackable, and secure traffic source.

  When a user clicks an external link, they do not leave your site immediately. They are greeted by a modern and informative transition screen:
  

  • Security Warning: clearly informs the user: "You are leaving our website."
  • Clear Destination: The target URL is explicitly displayed to prevent confusion.
  • Auto Redirect: Optional countdown timer for automatic forwarding.
  • User Choice: "Continue" or "Cancel" buttons give control back to the user.
  • Easy Copy: Includes a one-click button to copy the target URL.

  Not all links are equal. Set your own rules with domain-based filtering:
  

  • Whitelist (Trusted List): Add trusted sites (eg, YouTube, GitHub, Partner sites) here; These bypass the interstitial page and open immediately.
  • Blacklist (Blocked List): Permanently block spam, phishing, adult content, or competitor sites. When a user clicks these links, they receive an "Access Denied" warning and are guided back to the forum.

  Know exactly who went where and when. Everything is recorded.
  

  • Dashboard (Summary): View daily/weekly click and block statistics, "Top 10" most clicked servers, and recent activity all on one screen.
  • Smart Log Management:
    • Filtering: Filter by Host (domain), User ID, Action Type (Redirect/Blocked/Invalid), or search within the URL.
    • Quick Action: Click on any Host name in the log list to instantly filter the entire history of that domain.
    • Export: Download all data or filtered results in CSV format .

  Stop editing links manually for search engines. The add-on automatically updates links inside posts based on your global settings:
  

  • SEO Friendly: Automatically applies rel="nofollow ugc" tags to prevent external links from draining your SEO authority (Link Juice).
  • Secure Tabs: Forces links to open in a new tab (target="_blank") while automatically applying noopener and noreferrer security standards.

  • Admins dealing with frequent spam links or unauthorized referral sharing.
  • Communities that want to prioritize user safety by showing a "Leaving Site" warning.
  • Admins who need to strictly block specific rival or malicious domains.
  • Moderation teams who want to analyze outbound traffic patterns.

  ---

  The add-on offers a modern interface fully compatible with XF 2.3 standards:
  

  • One-Click Setup: Enable or disable the entire system instantly.
  • Timer Settings: Customize the countdown duration for the redirect page.
  • List Management: Easily manage Whitelists/Blacklists by adding domains line-by-line.
  • Log Maintenance: Easy bulk delete tools to keep your database clean.
