Dumb question about exit.php

Post by Loopy »

I use 1.1.2. I use the BBcode markup plugin, so I use tags for my links. I have two questions:

1. Previously, once I clicked on a click, a little tick would appear next to the link, showing the reader that they had visited that link already. It doesn't on the new version. Why is that?
2. After saving entries, all external links are replaced with a scrambled url -- /exit.php?[scrambleddata] -- previously, the links were untouched. I thought this might be to do with my "Track Exits" module, but it doesn't seem to make a difference what option I choose (None/Serendipity/Google), I still get the scrambled URL. Can anyone tell me why this is, and if it is possible to undo this?

Hi!
1. Previously, once I clicked on a click, a little tick would appear next to the link, showing the reader that they had visited that link already. It doesn't on the new version. Why is that?
that's a matter of the theme you are using; some themes like carl_contest ("Serendipity 3.0") use specification for "a:visited" where an image is shown. That's required on theme-level.
2. After saving entries, all external links are replaced with a scrambled url -- /exit.php?[scrambleddata] -- previously, the links were untouched. I thought this might be to do with my "Track Exits" module, but it doesn't seem to make a difference what option I choose (None/Serendipity/Google), I still get the scrambled URL. Can anyone tell me why this is, and if it is possible to undo this?
Yes, the "Track Exits" Eventplugin is causing this. You can simply remove that plugin via the plugin manager.

Once you removed it, and if you are using the "Cache entries" function of the extended entryproperties plugin, you might need to rebuild your cache so that the exit-url vanishes from all postings.


Best regards,

Hm, i am having the same problem but the tracker plugin does not show up in the plugin manager, but on the install list it´s listed. i manually removed it from the plugin table in the database.
