Ozzy my Man... for me it doesn't give me the options "edit" "delete" in the settings ...

Also all links have the external image even though the links are internal ... any idea?

The edit/delete links are only when debug mode (I think it's called) is enabled. It more for developers.

It seems from the image in the OP that it shows an image for internal and external links but with an option to have different ones for both.

[CAG CheechDogg]

Ok...edit/delete question answered..

I still don't get the internal image for internal links ..still getting the external for all links ...

Could it be because I have https instead of http?

[CAG CheechDogg]

YEEP !!! That was the issue...

Because I have https enabled on my site the install code has only (http) all through the install xml file ..


This is what I changed for it to work, I replaced all the http references to https ....

from

$domain = htmlspecialchars_uni($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);

to

$domain = htmlspecialchars_uni($_SERVER['HTTPS_HOST']);

from

if (href.indexOf("http://")!=-1)

to

if (href.indexOf("https://")!=-1)

from

//return (href.indexOf("http://")!=-1 && href.indexOf(hostname)==-1) ? false : true;

to

//return (href.indexOf("https://")!=-1 && href.indexOf(hostname)==-1) ? false : true;

Perhaps ozzy47 can update the mod to reflect domain which use HTTPS so people don't have to edit the mod.

[CAG CheechDogg]

Yes..I am sure he will be able to update as soon as he has time ...hes DA' MAN !!!

[Black Snow]

Another option in the settings to allow admins to select if they use HTTP or HTTPS might do the trick with an edit to the plugin(s) to reflect the new settings.
