adding rel="author" to profile page links

[glennybee]

Hi guys,

I am trying to link to my google plus profile in the profile pages of my users, see....

I have managed to create live links using this plugin...

I have added the plugin to include the rel="author" tag that i need to add to these links, but vbulletin seems to be stripping it out... any ideas....

if ($profilefield['value'] != '' AND $profilefield[profilefieldid] == 9) 
{
        $links = explode ("\n", $profilefield['value']);
        $output = array();
        foreach ($links as $link)
        {
                  $link = trim($link);
                  if (!empty($link))
                  {
                            $ouput[] = '<a rel="author" href="' . $link . '">' . $link . '</a>';
                  }
        }
        $profilefield['value'] = implode('<br />', $output);
