External Link Extension

CKAN Version: >= 2.0

This extension will add pop-up message as tooltip for external URLs. Administrator will be able to add websites to whitelist from UI.

Features

  • Automatically detects external links on CKAN pages
  • Shows customizable pop-up tooltip on hover over external links
  • Admin interface for managing domain whitelist
  • Customizable pop-up message text

Installation

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

ckan.plugins = extlink

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.
