I have a question about LinkClick.aspx.  I would like to send any user who clicks on an external link to a Warning Dialog before redirecting them to their link.  I.e. something along the lines of "This page is a link to an external website.  My web page is not responsible for the content on this page."  Is there any way to edit LinkClick.aspx to add this functionality?  I realize that my other options would be to edit the Links Module to provide a separate page that adds that functionality, but I thought it might be easier to change LinkClick.aspx - but it seems like that file doesn't actually exist, so I wasn't sure where to put that code.  Thanks.

I also need to make the changes the way Linkclick.aspx works. Does anybody have some idea?

Thanks!

Requests for LinkClick.aspx are handled in the DotNetNuke.Services.FileSystem.FileServerHandler class, which resides in the core assembly DotNetNuke.dll.  I strongly discourage making any modifications to this class (and, apropos, implementing the modification you describe herein would be difficult anyway).  

I suggest seeing if you can't include custom javascript in the link itself (I believe this is currently possible but not supported) that accomplishes the end you desire.  You might also consider some custom jQuery logic -- this would also seem like an excellent fit.  You could deploy the jQuery code either within the link itself, or as a separate block of code residing in a Text/HTML module.

Hope this gets you started!

I thought I'd also add that it would be reasonable to implement a custom httpHandler that accomplishes the functionality you desire, and then hand control back to existing FileServerHandler functionality when the requirements are met.  Note that this would be a moderately difficult development task, and I would only advise a reasonably sophisticated developer to follow this path.  You may also experience issues with full postbacks here.
