This is a two part question, so get ready. LOL

Part 1) How do I turn off the option for users to mark their links No Follow/Do Follow?

Part 2) How do I retroactively make all the links in the directory No Follow or Do Follow?

Thanks!

RE: How do I turn off the option for users to mark their links No Follow/Do Follow?

Presently there is not a way. You may have or may have not noticed the last two updates have added a new Settings tab, “Fieldset Configuration”… presently you have quite a few options for configuring the Publish, Name, Addresses and Phone Numbers fieldsets… future updates will expand this to all fieldsets. The next update which I hope will be next week will add options for the Email Addresses fieldset and the update after that, the Links fieldset which will have the options you seek now.

RE: How do I retroactively make all the links in the directory No Follow or Do Follow?

There is not a way, well, there sort of is… you could hook into the cn_link filter and set the follow property to either dofollow or nofollow. This does not really retroactively change all links in the database, it will override the saved setting for the link. So no matter what setting the link is saved with, it’ll be what ever you set it as in the filter. Here’s and example:

add_filter( 'cn_link', 'cn_link_override_follow' );

function cn_link_override_follow( $link ) {
    $link->follow = 'nofollow';
    return $link;
}

Hope this helps!
