This module adds some extra functionality to the External Links module.
Features
Allows the use of a colorbox popup for the "leaving this site" alert text.
The advantage to this is that you may now use different input formats for the text (html, php, etc).
The alert text also supports Drupal's tokens
We provide a couple of our own tokens, like the URL you are being taken to and the URL you are coming from. By default this is implemented by providing "Cancel" and "Go to link" links.
Option for an automatic redirect timer for the popup.
You can specify the number of seconds and a countdown will be shown.
Provide an intermediate page
Takes the user to a separate page after clicking an external link. This is just like External Link Page but has the advantage of integrating with extlink's other features, like showing icons next to external links, or supporting its other configuration options. It's also very themable and allows the use of the aforementioned tokens and such.
