Step-by-Step Guide to Adding rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" to Links in Osclass Using JavaScript​

---

Step 1: Open the Template File​

In Osclass, template files are located in the following folder:


swift
КопироватьРедактировать
/oc-content/themes/YOUR_THEME/


The description of the ad is usually displayed in the item.php file.

---

Step 2: Find the Ad Description Block​

In the item.php file, find the line responsible for displaying the ad description. It might look like this:


php
КопироватьРедактировать
<?php echo osc_item_description(); ?>


or be inside a <div class="description">, <p class="desc">, etc.

---

Step 3: Add JavaScript Code Before the Closing </body> Tag​

Insert the following code before </body>:


html
КопироватьРедактировать
<script>
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
document.querySelectorAll(".description a").forEach(link => {
link.setAttribute("rel", "nofollow noopener noreferrer");
});
});
</script>


Code Explanation:

• document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {...}); — Ensures the code runs after the page loads.
• document.querySelectorAll(".description a") — Selects all <a> links inside the .description block.
• link.setAttribute("rel", "nofollow noopener noreferrer"); — Adds the required attributes to each link.

---

Step 4: Save and Test the Changes​

1. Save the item.php file.
2. Open an ad page in your browser.
3. Right-click on a link in the description and select Inspect Element.
4. Check that the links now have rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer".

---

Troubleshooting​

If the changes don’t take effect:

• Clear your browser cache (Ctrl + Shift + R).
• If you're using cache plugins, clear the Osclass cache.

After this, all links in ad descriptions will have the required attributes.
