Hi Is it possible to customise links to only affect one (or more...) specific categories? I have one category where I want to ensure that outgoing links are tagged with the rel="nofollow" attribute. Is there a way to do this? Thanks.

I am not sure if conditionals would work in the External links appendage, but you could use an if statement in your template... <IF {CATID} is ##><a href="{TRACKLINKURL}" {EXTERNALLINKS} rel="nofollow">{LINKTITLE}</a><OTHERWISE><a href="{TRACKLINKURL}" {EXTERNALLINKS} >{LINKTITLE}</a></IF>

The external links appendage involves things that aren't items in categories, so don't test for a category there, just edit the link bit template (Admin -> Templates -> Manage Templates -> Subtemplates).

So just to get this right... In linkbit.tpl, I add the following (making sure that I add the proper category ID number)? <IF {CATID} is ##><a href="{TRACKLINKURL}" {EXTERNALLINKS} rel="nofollow">{LINKTITLE}</a>< OTHERWISE><a href="{TRACKLINKURL}" {EXTERNALLINKS} >{LINKTITLE}</a></IF> A couple of questions. Where exactly will I add this line? Will this work with rewritten URLs? Thanks.

Rewriting makes no difference.
