Features

- Admin interface for managing domain whitelist

Installation
Install the extension as usual, and edit ckan configuration ini file to add or append the plugin:

White List
By default all links except for those from the site’s own domain will be treated as external links, and will have a pop-up message as tooltip when mouse hovered. Site administrators can go to http://yourdomain.site/extlink to add domains to white list, so that those domain links will not be treated as external links. For example:
.mil, data.gov
reisys.com
reisystems.com
At the same page administrators can also customize the pop-up message.
Note
This is a legacy extension from GSA (U.S. General Services Administration). Last updated in 2016.
