Editing "Currently Active Users" List on the Board Index

[SJshah]

OK, basically I want to edit the anchor links in the Currently Active Users thing on the board index. However, everything I try in the "look and feel" tab in the admincp doesnt work, I'm thinking that there is a file I would need to edit instead.

Any IPB wizards who know what to do?

I need to add rel="nofollow" to all of those profile links.
I have tried editing everything in that area of the skin and got nowhere.

1) File: /admin/applications/forums/modules_public/forums/boards.php

2) Search for:

$active['NAMES'][] = "<a href='"

3) Replace with:

$active['NAMES'][] = "<a rel='nofollow' href='"

4) repeat step 2 and 3 once more.
5) Save, done.

Worked perfectly

Cheers!

Oh another thing, I want to do the same for the "Recent Topics" hook (add rel="nofollow" to the user profile URLs), but have a similar issue..

I found the place I need to edit, but the URL in the hooksos_topicosrecentes is encoded like this:

{IPSLib::makeProfileLink(IPSLib::makeNameFormatted( $r['topico']['starter_name'], $r['topico']['grupo1']), $r['topico']['starter_id'])}{parse template="user_popup" group="global" params="$r['topico']['starter_id'], $r['topico']['nome1']"}

is there a way to add rel="nofollow" to that?

IPSLib::makeProfileLink() is a global IPB function. That means that editing that will change it across the whole forum and not just that hook. Not sure if you'd want that.

Edit:
You should also be aware of the fact that each time you update your board to a newer version all edits to the PHP files will be undone.
