README

This module provides you with a page and the functionality to redirect viewers to user defined links to:

TL;DR Will convert "https://google.com" into "https://yourdomain.com/external-links?url=https://google.com"

What's it do?

Warns the viewer that they're about to be redirected to external link
Give the user the ability to cancel the redirection.
If they cancel then provide them with an option to continue to the link anyway in case they changed their mind.
Track how many hits an external URL has had from your domain.
Prevents potentially breaking SSL due to insecure links

composer install vulcandigital/silverstripe-securelinkparser

An extension is packaged with this module and gives you access to the $SecureUserDefinedLink method from within any PageController

<a href='$SecureUserDefinedLink($CustomLink)'>$CustomLinkTitle</a>

$link = \Vulcan\SecureLinkParser\SecureLinkParser::getSecureLink($this->CustomLink);

The only configuration variable available is create_default_page, which will create the redirection page automatically upon dev/build

Vulcan\SecureLinkParser\Pages\SecureLinkParserPage:
    create_default_page: true

This is disabled by default, so you will need to create the page yourself anywhere in the site tree.
