Automatically redirect all outbound links on site through disclaimer/tracker page WITHOUT editing them individually

 / Published in: jQuery
 

This script will automatically route all outbound links through a PHP (or whatever scripting language you prefer) page that can be used for a "You are leaving..." disclaimer and/or click tracking.

Devised for a site that uses a store app, a forum app, and a CMS app that don't talk to each other that well; it would have taken forever to hack all those apps to do the same thing server-side.

DOMAIN-NAME-HERE = YOUR DOMAIN NAME

TLD-HERE = YOUR TLD, IE, "COM" OR "NET"

LINKOUTPAGE.PHP = YOUR TRACKING PAGE (CALLED WITH TARGET URL APPENDED AS "p=[outside url]")

  1. $(document).ready(function() {
  2.  
  3.    // BEGIN redirect all outbound links through tracker page
  4.    $("a").click(function(){ 
  5.  
  6.       // if it's a full URL...
  7.       if ($(this).attr("href").indexOf("http")==0) {
  8.  
  9.          // if it doesn't go to our site
  10.          if (!/^http(s){0,1}(.){0,3}(www){0,3}(\.){0,1}DOMAIN-NAME-HERE\.TLD-HERE/.test($(this).attr("href"))){
  11.  
  12.             // send it through the linkout page
  13.             $(this).attr("href","/LINKOUTPAGE.PHP?p=" + $(this).attr("href"))
  14.  
  15.          }
  16.       } 
  17.    })
  18.    // END redirect all outbound links through tracker page
  19.  
  20. };
