Hello,

I would like links to show all external links not like

http://www.externallink.com

but like

http://www.mysite.com/...www.externallink.com

Can anyone tell me how to achieve this?

I dont know anything about perl :-( but I thought this change must be done somewhere in jump.cgi, so I searched the forum for jump.cgi, of course I found lots of posts but obviously none answering my question.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you!

Does it have to be in a frame (which is annoying and we all hate frames) or is it ok if you jsut launch the links in a new window?

what were you searching on? I did a search on "jump.cgi frame" on this forum, and found a working solution on the first page of results.

@ socrates & fuzzy logic

Many thanks für your quick reply (mine is much slower, I apologize for that), but obviously I didnt express clearly enough what the problem is - maybe its because English is not my mother tongue or maybe its because I mentioned "...framer.cgi" (it could have been ANY other link!) - which makes my question sound like:"He wants to open external links in frames"

@ socrates

No, new window is easy by using the target-tag

@ fuzzy logic

No, I was searching for "jump.cgi" only, not for "frame", because Im not searching for a special frame solution
=============================
Im pretty sure the solution to my problem is VERY easy, nevertheless I dont know how to get it done.

So - once again: Im not talking about opening external links in a frame (I know there are several solutions) but I want to open links 2.0 external links not like

http://www.externallink.com

but like

http://www.mysite.com/framer.cgi?url=http://www.externallink.com

SO: the piece of link placed before the actual external link could also be http://www.mysite.com/specialcounter.cgi?url= or http://www.mysite.com/anythingelse.cgi?url=

- so: where do I have to put e.g. http://www.mysite.com/anythingelse.cgi?url= to have links 2.0 open external links like

http://www.mysite.com/anythingelse.cgi?url=http://www.externallink.com

As I said before - Im sure the solution is pretty easy, so that everyone out there thinks "No, he must be joking, he cant be asking for things like that ..." :-(

Of course I could achive that manually for each link, but it should be done automatically and I am sure the change must be made in jump.cgi , but WHERE ... ?

Can anyone answer my question?

At the bottom of jump.cgi is where you need to make the change:

# Now let's send the user to the url..
$goto ?
print "Location: http://www.mysite.com/framer.cgi?$goto\n\n" :
## print "Location: $goto\n\n" :
&error ("Record not found ($in{$db_key})");
