TextformatterExternalRedirect

[BitPoet]

Here's a little text formatter module that redirects all external links found in a textarea (e.g. for hit counting) to a given URL.

As TextFormatters do, this module modifies the contents of the textarea (HTML) at rendering time. It prepends the given URL to the link address for external links (http and https), optionally makes sure that the link is opened in a new window and allows you to add css classes to such links.

All options can be configured in the module's configuration settings.

Usage:

• Download the zip archive and extract it to site/modules, the rename the top folder to TextformatterExternalRedirect
• Go to the backend and select "Modules" -> "Refresh", then click "Install" for "External Link Redirect"
• Click "Settings" and configure the module
  
• Go into the field configuration for the field(s) you want this formatter to apply to and add it from the dropdown
  
• Done, now any external links in the configured fields will have the configured settings applied
