 <?php
 function get_comment_author_link( $comment_ID = 0 ) {
         $comment = get_comment( $comment_ID );
         $url     = get_comment_author_url( $comment );
         $author  = get_comment_author( $comment );

         if ( empty( $url ) || 'http://' == $url )
                 $return = $author;
         else
                 $return = "<a target='_blank' href='$url' rel='external
 nofollow' class='url'>$author</a>";

         /**

          *
          * @since 1.5.0
          * @since 4.1.0 The `$author` and `$comment_ID` parameters were
