Hyperlink Web Pages In-Project

DerpyLlama101

I thought it would be a cool idea to hyperlink to other web pages. For an example, you could have a facebook button that when you click on it, it would of course say “This Will Take You Outside Of The Scratch Website! Are You Sure You Want To Open The Page?”. Even if someone did link to a naughty website, it would break Scratch's Community Guidelines and thus removing the project.

Here is what it could possibly look like in the editor:

go to [https://scratch.mit.edu/ v]

This would have potential for things like social media outlet engine or other cool things!

Thank you for looking at my idea! I hope you like it and I hope its something that we could see soon on scratch.

If that was there, the project should be removed plus there would be a warning that it would take you outside of scratch. The warning could even say what link it was.

No support, there is way too much potential for abuse. I would support one that can only link to within Scratch:

go to scratch.mit.edu/[] :: control

or only to approved websites:

go to [scratch.mit.edu v]/[] :: control

Also, to prevent spam-opening tabs, it should open a warning message. All scripts would be paused while the message is up, so if someone puts the block in a forever loop it would just show the massages one-by-one.

Yes, it could be removed, but not long after people already clicked the link.

Maybe you could limit to just Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or YouTube. Idk, I just wanted a way to get to other pages inside my projects.

Those are social media sites that expose quite dangerous content. They are for over-13s whereas Scratch is designed for all ages. I would support for

I can definitely agree with you. This would be much safer than having complete free range on what to add. Approved sites I think would be better just because it would let you have more freedom.

Only support if the websites are scratch and the wiki. No support for any other link (not even .edu).

To prevent this

forever
go to [link to scratch]::control
end

the link doesn't have to open in a new tab. If so, this block could be a cap block.

This is my signature. It appears below all my posts. Discuss it on my profile, not the forums. Here's how to make your own.
.postsignature { overflow: auto; } .scratchblocks { overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: hidden; }

Aka chrashchrome.com.

I think a dialog would be perfect for this. Someone made one in the extensions forum - let me see if I can find it.

Found it!

I've created a new extension which pulls an old trick, but does it better than ever before. The extension is called “Open Webpage Extension” and it has one block:
open page at url [http://scratch.mit.edu/] :: extension
The catch is that I've designed the block to be as safe and secure as possible. When the block runs, a fancy little dialog box pops up, asking the user if they would like to open the page.

I've done everything I can think of to prevent attacks, but I want some feedback from the community. I'd love everyone to try and create a project which demonstrates how the extension might be able to be used in a malicious way so that I can fix any potential vulnerabilities.

Try it out on ScratchX!

Now, just make it only open scratch urls and wikis, and I support!

Support if you could only link to the Scratch domain and have warning screen, so people wouldn't abuse the feature.

forever
open [sonic.wikia.com] :: events
end

open [virus.com] :: events

open [pictureofsonicandamyinbeddoingsomethinginappropriate.com] :: events

No support. It can easily be abused, What if it links to something that can crash your computer, without knowing.
