All the installation information is in the package.

Nice mod, thanks for sharing

[D.Ilyin]

Dismounted can you redid all "strong" phrases for easy translate yours exelent hack? :rolleyes:

/installed

[Dismounted]

What do you mean? If you meant you would like to translate the text to suit your forum, just edit the template "vbanonymizer".

[Shazz]

Looks like a charm, thanx :)

[Shazz]

/me installs

[D.Ilyin]

What do you mean? If you meant you would like to translate the text to suit your forum, just edit the template "vbanonymizer".
Yes. I mean that.
But i like do it (translate) with $vbphrase[]'s. Becouse my forum use two languages.

PS Never mind. I'll do it myself.

[Shazz]

What did you updated?
The read me file... You changed who it was from?

[Dismounted]

Yes, I changed the dates aswell. I changed the "From" because I wanted to link to my new site :p.

[Shazz]

I see...
* Shazz ignores updated :D

[Dismounted]

By the way, does anyone have any suggestions for the hack?

[Shazz]

I put a longer timer on it , and Re-did everything on the redirecton page.
Just my opinioin

[Dismounted]

I must admit, the redirection page is a bit messy :p. Could you do a better one for me?

[Tacama]

I like the integrated style...

Thanks for your time ;)

Installed of course.

[Shazz]

Mmmmm, Maybe not the exact same as mine since i want mine to be special in a way :)
Ill look into it and post back in the thread

[SCRIPT3R]

how 'bout setting up some hooks for the WOL processes? i'm not sure if you can address the random variables for different pages though... php?* maybe?

[redlabour]

Does not work with vBadvanced.

As long this is not fixed you can use this Hack :

Own Redirector and Anonymizer (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=118042)

@Dismounted - i attach the German Translation with a Disclaimer. ;)

In any Way i have stopped supporting my Hack today - i think this Solution is a better one. Thx for your Work but please Fix the vBadvanced Links. ;)

[Shazz]

^Never noticed that..

[redlabour]

Another suggestion - can you implement that the Redirected URL is clickable so Users that know the Disclaimer can fasten the Redirection ?

Hi,

great hack, but you should using the vBulletin Input Cleaner Class:

[SCRIPT3R]

seems to cut short anything linked to imagevenue.com for whatever reason... ok figred it's cutting links off after the "&" symbol. for example,

http://img138.imagevenue.com/img.php?loc=loc473&image=blahblahblah.jpg

after the redirect, all the bolded will get removed.

i don't think that can't be used for all the end variables of links. i was thinking to add a WOL hook built into the product. perhaps for just a redirecting... status maybe. i'm a bit tired and about to head off to bed, but will check back in the morning when i get into work to see if the OP can fix the bugs.

[redlabour]

After vBAnonymizer has some security Risks and some Bugs (not vBAdvanced compatibel and others ...) i suggest to reinstall my Hack if you have it deinstalled after the Mail from Yesterday.

Until all Bugs are fixed i still use my Release : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=118042

what one could do is drop your links.php code into this redirecting.php code and there you have a working vB redirector with the headers and whatnot used by this one, along with the AdminCP options. ;)

This is not correct.

[redlabour]

So it looks like the Hack is dead only a few Days after the Release.

@Dismounted - did you still work on it ?

[SCRIPT3R]

i guess "Supported" means something different to everyone. it would be wise however that hack creaters subscribe to their own threads to which they claim to offer support... and then actually support them. but that's just my opinion.

That?s not what i mean with my last Post.

Dismounted has only a few Posts at vb.org - then he releases a new Hack. After the first critical Announcments to his Hack he seems to be gone .... :alien:

[SCRIPT3R]

yea, it's weird that he's not back to support this just yet... especially given the circumstance. however, it's easy enough to inject your code into his for a more complete and better total hack. at least that's what i've done.

Can you post the changes you made?

[SCRIPT3R]

not without permission from both authors, sorry.

[redlabour]

not without permission from both authors, sorry.

I gave you full Permissions to use my Code. For the vB Part you did not need the Permissions from Dismounted. ;)

But i will only give the Permissions if you release it as a brand New Hack and not in this Thread. :)

[SCRIPT3R]

alright, i'll make some small minor adjustments and release it. does anyone want anything changed or specific they need, desire, or whatever?

[redlabour]

Fully phrased of course and the permission to release the german Version on vbhacks-germany ! ;)

The best Thing was if everyone is able to change the Disclaimertext from AdminCP with BBCode enabled. ;)

And of course the ability to klick the URL at the Disclaimer to change directly without waiting to the external URL.

Can you send me a PM if you have released ? BTW - you can use the Name of my old Hack as Versionnumber 3.0 if you want. ;)

no, the product is an all-in-one type thing... completely different then this threads hack.

[DaNIEL MeNTED]

Hmmm... is there no way this can be done without redirecting to an external anonymizer? I'd rather not have to rely on someone elses server to be up to get people redirected.

I did like the "you are about to be redirected" page... just not the fact it breaks urls with & in them....

yes, redlabour hack does this well. i will release an update for his as soon as i can in a separate thread as he has given permission to do so.

it appears as though Dismounted is a student and probably just been busy with school since the week just started. i'll give him a few more days before i start ripping into his hack. if this is truly has been abandonded (which i doubt - hopefully) i will update it.

It uses external Anonymizer Providers. This is exactly what my Hack is for to not use them.

[Alex Kray]

Hi, i've tested this hack, it's good, but i have a question.

What about urls in signature? It's still live links.
By the way, urls in posts and private messages works good.

I will be implementing most of your suggestions and many bugs (if not all) should be fixed, for example, the vBA bug should be fixed.

[Shazz]

Since it flipped back to the old redirect page (Which I think is ugly personally)
had to change the template back to the old and vB options was nice to easily scroll to

I don't get what the old vB template is for now the old 1.0 one, So I deleted it
Anyway seems to be working well :)

[Nathan2006]

Thank you Dismounted :)

This is great and will save a lot of time when the anonymous sites are down.

Is there anyway to have the counter count down in real time? would look cool.

Thanks again

Well... One was, On the adminCP control panel home page.
About one hour it hit me
Error on line 1 includes/class_bbcode.php
=\

That's weird, my hook on that file is at bbcode_parse_complete. Which is no where near there.

I also have nothing custom to that file or anything to do with it.
It was werid how it hit me a hour later when I don't even touch anything, its just the admin Home screen. There was one more glitch i forgot what it was...

But if its just me getting this and no one else its fine.

2.0/2.1 is a half-rewrite of 1.0, so it wouldn't be practical.

Just the timer -.-

[Dismounted]

I said from 1.0 to 2.0/2.1 :p, not from 2.0 to 2.1.

If you wanted without the timer, download 2.0.

[Shazz]

I want with the timer, but using 1.0
What code edits and fixes what I need to change? :(
Or Do I have to find it out manually..

[Dismounted]

1. Select the template 'vbanonymizer' (Version 1.0).
2. Find:
$headinclude
Add Below:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
x = $vboptions[vbanonymizer_delay] + 1;
function countdown()
{
x--;
if(x > -1)
{
document.getElementById("delay").innerHTML = x;
setTimeout('countdown()',1000);
}
}
//-->
</script>
3. Find:
<body>
Replace With:
<body onload="countdown();">
4. Find:
You are now leaving $vboptions[bbtitle] and being redirected to <b>$url</b> in $vboptions[vbanonymizer_delay] seconds.
Replace With:
You are now leaving $vboptions[bbtitle] and being redirected to <b>$url</b> in <span id="delay"></span> seconds.

Much luv
Thanx!! Looks very good

Step 3 (Revert Templates):
Go to your AdminCP.

Click 'Revert'.

are you sure that's possible? i have and _about & _main - to which do you refer because neither can be reverted.

Then it reloads redirector.php and has "you are now leaving x.com ..." with the right URL.

That's the HEX-Encoded URL. It prevents the '&' sign from breaking the GET variable.

[Shazz]

Alright thanx for the clarify, seems I can't find any bugs :)

[DaNIEL MeNTED]

Ok...

Most of the time I click I link and get the regular redirect screen (see the first screenshot) but sometimes I get the redirect screen with the encoded URL. (See 2nd screenshot). After it counts down it then refreshes to the same redirector page but now it looks "normal" - i.e. it says being redirected to "http://whatever.com/whatever".

So its like its redirecting the URL to the redirector and then redirecting the person out...

I don't know why it does that... and with this URL:

http://www.insightstraining.com/view_course.asp?courseID=21&categoryID=4

It first redirects with the HEX (2nd pic) and then I get:

"406 Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource /forums/redirector.php could not be found on this server."

99% of URLs work ok.

[Dismounted]

I've nailed it down to the '?' in the URL causing the problem. I don't know why, but only in that URL, the '?' causes a problem. Other URL's with '?' don't cause problems.

[Shazz]

Werid... and interesting
I have many URL's goin out from my site I have none that pulls up like that -.-

That link works perfectly with my site.

Do a full reinstall by;
1. Remove the product in the AdminCP.
2. Re-Upload redirector.php from a fresh download of version 2.2.
3. Install the XML file from a fresh download of version 2.2.

[DaNIEL MeNTED]

Did an uninstall/install... all URLs I've tested seem to work even if I add a ? to some of them.

It seems the reinstall got rid of the redirect to the redirect thing I was seeing... but it just hates this one url. Incidentally this is what its parsing it to... don't know if this is helpful.

redirector.php?url=%68%74%74%70%3a%2f%2f%77%77%77% 2e%69%6e%73%69%67%68%74%73%74% 72%61%69%6e%69%6e%67%2e%63%6f%6d%2f%76%69%65%77%5f %63%6f%75%72%73%65%2e%61%73%70 %3f%63%6f%75%72%73%65%49%44%3d%32%31%26%61%6d%70%3 b%63%61%74%65%67%6f%72%79%49%4 4%3d%34

[Dismounted]

I have tried that URL on my boards, and it works perfectly.

[redlabour]

I have several Feedbacks of my Users. Sometimes the Redirector works and sometimes he makes Errors in the URL.

[Dismounted]

:S, that's weird because it works every time for my users.

[trichnosis]

nice mod . i have installed

[Shazz]

http://www.yourdomain.com = no redirecting

http://yourdomain.com = redirecting = bug?

Whats the difference? :confused:

[SCRIPT3R]

Whats the difference? :confused:
well, although they're both the same (local) domain... one get redirected and one does not. local addresses should not be anonymized. THAT'S the difference i was trying to point out.

[Dismounted]

That's because it uses the domain set in the AdminCP.

[SCRIPT3R]

i figured as much, just figured you might want to note that somewhere because the settings may not be clear enough to some people.

[SCRIPT3R]

http://www.yourdomain.com = no redirecting

http://yourdomain.com = redirecting = bug?

with the forum url and homepage url set in vB as http://yourdomain.com/forums & http://yourdomain.com/, how would you set any links using http://yourdamain.com to NOT redirect then?

.yourdomain.com DOES NOT work. that's the bug.

[993ti]

Is there a way to log the clicks on the links?
I'm using a simple version and have lots of links like on this (http://www.twenteracingscene.com/showthread.php?t=3169) page.
Every link that's clicked is logged.
Might be handy.

[993ti]

Btw, just noticed that you can't right click and save files like .wmv

[Dismounted]

That's because it redirects to another page before accessing the real page.

[SCRIPT3R]

nevermind.

[redlabour]

Hi,

if anyone else has the Portal installed at or anything else:

http://www.YOURDOMAIN.de/portal.php

and the Forum at :

http://www.YOURDOMAIN.de/forum/index.php

you have to edit the Plugin -> Anonymizer Function !

Search for :

$vboptions[bburl] . "redirector.php?url=" . $encoded_url;

and replace with :

$vboptions[bburl] . "http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/forum/redirector.php?url=" . $encoded_url;

Otherwise the Links in vBa are routing to :

http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/redirector.php which results in a 404!

[Dominic]

http://YOURFORUM.com/redirector.php?url=<script>alert('OWNED')</script>

can't this cause a XSS exploit?

[Dismounted]

Doesn't appear so, because when I do that on my site it gives me a 403 Forbidden error.

Thats because u prolly renamed the redirect file.

[Dismounted]

I didn't, it's still redirector.php. And the error is a 403 not a 404.

[Bigbro]

:banana: Installed and grateful!

Thanks!

[Dismounted]

Click Install please :)!

[iran.gs]

Installed i needed this thanks

[TrIn@dOr]

Nice!!, perhaps u should add phrases for having it in several languages!!

[KURTZ]

INSTALLED and running like a charm! :D

[DaNIEL MeNTED]

Ok... here's the problem I'm having (and its becoming an issue because its affecting some sponsors).

If this url is posted -

[x]http://www.b.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=oneshot&Product_Code=BB-IIA&Category_Code=BB[x]

It opens a page with:

[x]http://www.b.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD[x]

Notice everything after the & is lost...

But the redirect page says ...

You are now leaving a.com and being redirected to http://www.b.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=oneshot&Product_Code=BB-IIA&Category_Code=BB in 1 seconds.

Soooooooo... its storing the code right since it seems to know the whole URL but its trimming the URL after the &

[Dismounted]

It's redirecting everything fine on my dev board. Have you installed the latest version?

[DaNIEL MeNTED]

Yup... unless you re-uploaded 2.2 at some point without updating the version.

Does the link I posted work on your site? or does it strip everything after the &?

[justachump]

thanks, looks good

[Ronak]

Works Absolutely fine :D this has increased my revenues too lol :D

[Dismounted]

Yup... unless you re-uploaded 2.2 at some point without updating the version.

Does the link I posted work on your site? or does it strip everything after the &?
Yes, on a fresh 3.6.4 installation, it works well. It doesn't strip anything off the URL.

[DaNIEL MeNTED]

Well... my installed version says 2.2 but I uninstalled it anyways and reuploaded the files and reinstalled the product - everything seems to be good now.

Odd.

[Dismounted]

Glad it's working for you now though! :D

[Raydar]

G'day Dismounted,

So would I be right in saying that if someone was on my site and spamming urls' to their business etc, that this hack sends them to where I want the url to take them?

Does the url they place in the post also stay the same (visibly) or does that change automatically (to something we set).

Regards

Reggie

[Dismounted]

No, all this hack does is prevent referrer headers being sent. For example, RapidShare collects referrer information.

[Alex Kray]

Hi all,

Still shows reffers from the forum v3.6.1 in statistics by Google analytics. Can someone make solution to hide from it too?

Thanks in advance.

[Dismounted]

This hides your site from OUTGOING links, not INCOMING referrers.

[Alex Kray]

Dismounted,

Thanks for answer. Btw, here is another question: Can i use redirector.php outside vbulletin folder? (i've already tried but just a blank screen there).

Thanks in advance, Alex

[DaNIEL MeNTED]

Glad it's working for you now though! :D

Hrm... ok. I think I know why I've been having issues and had less and less complaints.

If I let the redirector redirect me then it works OK... but if I click the link instead of waiting 3 seconds then it screws up the link.

[Dismounted]

Dismounted,

Thanks for answer. Btw, here is another question: Can i use redirector.php outside vbulletin folder? (i've already tried but just a blank screen there).

Thanks in advance, Alex
No you cannot. Redirector.php requires vBulletin globals and templates to work.

[Ignicoccus]

Hi,

i would love to use this hack, but is there a way to apply the anonymizer function only to specific (private) forums ?

[Nathan2006]

Hi Dismounted,

I have been using this hack for a while now Extended Signature Limits (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=95523)

The problem is, that I recently got a spammer who is adding lots of external links in their signature and that hack is only seeing that as my local address as www.my-site.com/redirector.php and allowing members to add anything they want :(

Is there anyway around this?

Maybe to turn off redirector.php in the signature only?

Thank you for any help :)

[tutusinghsohi]

thanks a lot of the great addon..

To turn it off in signatures, edit the plugin 'Add Anonymizer Prefix (Part 2)' and replace the whole plugin with:
$post['message'] = anonymize($post['message']);

Hi, Thanks for your reply.

I have replaced the code in part 2 of the plugin manager but all the links are still
directed to redirector.php

I have rebuilt the signature cache but no luck :(

[Dismounted]

When editing signatures, do the links have the redirector.php prefixed?

Hi,

When I edit a signature that has the redirector.php showing in a thread and then go to edit the signature there is only the main URL and not the redirector.php added to it.

Thanks for your reply :)

[ubblite]

Hey Dismounted,

I'd love for this hack to have the ability to select which sites/links you want to anonymize as there's only a few I need it for. Would this be possibly integrated in a future release? Thanks.

It should not be prefixing them, have you tried clearing your browser's cache?

No, I highly doubt I will integrate this feature into a future release. Although you can tweak it to only anonymize certain URL's.

[ubblite]

Can you tell me how to do this?

[Dismounted]

Can you tell me how to do this?
In the plugin 'Anonymizer Function', find:
if (preg_match_all("/(\<a href=\")(.[^\"]*)/i", $text, $matches))
Replace With:
if (preg_match_all("/(\<a href=YOURDOMAIN.COM\")(.[^\"]*)/i", $text, $matches))
Replace YOURDOMAIN.COM with a domain, for each domain you want to anonymize, add an 'OR'. For example:
if (preg_match_all("/(\<a href=YOURDOMAIN.COM\")(.[^\"]*)/i", $text, $matches) OR preg_match_all("/(\<a href=DOMAIN2.COM\")(.[^\"]*)/i", $text, $matches))

Thanks for the info, Dismounted.

I have applied what you suggested but for some reason it won't anonymize the link at all - it doesn't acess the "referrers.php" file and just acts like a normal link.

BTW, I don't know if it makes a difference or not but if you try to enter: http://www.YOURDOMAIN.COM you'll get errors like this:

Warning: preg_match_all() [function.preg-match-all]: Unknown modifier '/' in /includes/init.php(319) : eval()'d code on line 32

So I can only do it as you mentioned above, but again, it won't anonymize the link.

Any other suggestions? ty

You need to put a backslash '\' behind each and every slash.

It should be anonymizing only the posts then. I can't find anything wrong with the code.

[The Finman]

I have a curious question.

The program works fine except when linking to certain sites.

When a links to some of these specific sites are posted on our board...if someone tries to "click through" they get this error meesage.

http://www.techsure.com/temp/du3.gif

The links are good, but it's only when forwarded by the vbAnonymizer
that the error occurs. :confused:

It's no biggie, but I would like to know why and if there is a "workaround".

Thanks in advance. :)

You are using an old version of the hack (I think). Do a full uninstall and install again.

[markbach]

v2.2 doesn't seem to work for Safari... still sends the refer (as http://www.forums.com/forum/redirector.php?url=%68%74%74%70%3a%2f%2f.....).

I've hacked around this for now (by forcing Safari users to go through anonym.to instead), but I'd be interested in a better solution.

Dismounted, thanks for all your efforts and feel free to contact me if you need someone to test with Safari or other Mac browsers.

It's supposed to send the URL's like that. Maybe Safari can't handle HEX-encoded URL's.

[markbach]

It's supposed to send the URL's like that. Maybe Safari can't handle HEX-encoded URL's.

Erm, it gets to the redirection page fine. But when it redirects me to the external site, THAT's where I see the referer (in the external site's logs).

So it seems like Safari sends a referer header when redirecting to a site using the meta http-equiv as you're doing.

If you'd like, I can make some screenshots for you.

[Dismounted]

Well that's certainly weird. I can't find any documented problems about it though.

[SecTa]

Greetz. It looks like there's a bug with URL tag if used in following way:

test (http://www.google.com/)
The output instead of
http://www.mysite.com/redirector.php?url=http://www.google.com/

wil look something like
http://www.mysite.com/redirector.php?url=redirector.php?url=%72%65%64%69 %72%65%63%74%6f%72%2e%70%68%70%3f%75%72%6c%3d%25%3 6%38%25%37%34%25%37%34%25%37%30%25%33%61%25%32%66% 25%32%66%25%37%37%25%37%37%25%37%37%25%32%65%25%36 %37%25%36%66%25%36%66%25%36%37%25%36%63%25%36%35%2 5%32%65%25%36%33%25%36%66%25%36%64%25%32%66
and will be redirected twice...
Just try to post the first code and you'll see what i'm talking about...
Hope it'll help.

Also there's another bug:
i've put in addresses that are not anonymized exclusions for anonym.to
but still, links like http://anonym.to?http://www.google.com/ are anonymized by redirector.php....

[ubblite]

It seems that the URL is being encrypted twice. That code you're seeing is the encrypted version of the URL (it's normal). I'll have a further look into it.
Also there's another bug:
i've put in addresses that are not anonymized exclusions for anonym.to
but still, links like http://anonym.to?http://www.google.com/ are anonymized by redirector.php....
Have you installed and uploaded the newest version? Try a full uninstall and install.
Any other ideas on this Dismounted? It's still giving me errors.
I really have no ideas. Are you still getting the same error?

[SecTa]

Have you installed and uploaded the newest version? Try a full uninstall and install.
I've installed newest version (2.2). Fully uninstalled it and installed again... Both issues (double encryption & anonym.to exclusion) remains...

And you forgot to Phrase : "Visiting Link" at Product.

And since 2.2 (not 2.3) there is another Bug allways using / for redirector.php.

There are Boards like mine where vBa is at /index.php and Forums at /forum/index.php so redirector has to be at /forum/redirector.php even at vBa.

Please fix it.

[TrIn@dOr]

In your upgrade instructions, you say in the 3rd step:

* Step 3 (Revert Templates):
o Go to your AdminCP.
o Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Click 'Edit Templates' Under Your Style -> Select the templates prefixed 'vbanonymizer_'.
o Click 'Revert'.

I have nothing to revert in 2 templates prefixed vbanonymizer_

Best thing you can do - i have written him a PM because of the vBa Problem and he replies to me that a Fix has to wait because "it is only a Phrase" .... i am not sure if he knows what he does. :D

1. The vBa Bug was at 1.0 - after that he fixed it weeks later at 2.2 because he dont know what vBa was before. Now its the same Bug again at 2.3.

2. The Redirectproblem because of /portal.php and /forum/index.php is something i have to fix at every Version on my own.
Search for redirector.php and add your complete Path before it at Product. Something he can do by AdminCP Option - but he dont.

3. The Phrase "Visiting Link" was never fixed at every earlier Version.

The only thing i can see at 2.3 is that there are no new Features or Bugfixes - only old Bugs again .... and he still thinks vBa is a Phrase........... ;)

But you can use Version 2.2 if you change the Path if you have moved vBa to / and Forums to /forum.

[Dismounted]

2./ Stop blaming me for everything. Just because it isn't compatible with another hack.
3./ This was 'And you forgot to Phrase : "Visiting Link" at Product.'

[treasureman]

Hi Dismounted,

Love this hack.

However there seems to be a problem in the 2.4 (2.3 also) that wasn't in 2.2

When a user clicks on the redirected link (rather than waiting for the seconds to elapse) they are redirected back to my forum main page rather than the redirected site.

It does work properly if they let the seconds elapse, but not if they are impatient and click the link.

Any ideas? I am running VBSEO if that matters, but 2.2 worked fine with VBSEO and did not have this problem.

[Dismounted]

I'll have a look into the issue, I think it may have something to do with me cleaning up my code.

They are, if you view the source, you will see:
/redirector.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F
Installed test board only with this hack:
Post the following tread (delete spaces before URL):
And....
Second redirect leads to _http://webcammax.com/en/index.php?option=com_content

And error as i describe above happened again until i uncheck "Add NoFollow" :(.
Hmm, this seems to happen sometimes and sometimes not on my test board. I'll look into it.

I've been PM'd about this before, and calm down. The exploit doesn't work. I've tested it on various servers with various platforms. They all end up with a 406 error. Have you tried it yourself?

crap....
sorry to say this, but a problem...
i've been having this problem with some other things too..

when (in some particular cases) someone clicks on a link (including me), instead of going to www.imagevenue.com , it goes to www.trendz4u.com/forum/www.imagevenue.com
can this be some database error?
this problem is with some hacks, now including vbAnonymizer 2.7, 2.6 was working fine..

this is what the problem i am getting..
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2007/04/5.jpg (http://www.shareapic.net/content.php?id=1495194)
when i uninstall the hack, the image opens as normal..
but with the hack installed, instead of going to http://www.shareapic.net/content.php?id=1495194 , it goes to www.trendz4u.com/forum/http://www.shareapic.net/content.php?id=1495194 (which is not right)..
any idea's on how to solve this..
i cant keep telling members to remove the www.trendz4u.com/forum address every time they click on a link :(


btw, this is not just with this hack, i installed v3Arcade high scores hack, which displays top three high scorers in forumhome, with 3 images..
the images didnt show up, so i had to put the images in /forum/www.trendz4u.com/forum/images/v3Arcade/high/xxxxxxx.gif (which is pretty annoying)

any idea on how to solve this damn problem...:( *someone please help*

[Shazz]

Working fine, can't notice any changes

If it wasn't limited with this hack, then it's not this hack's problem. :) It turns to a relative URL because of missing http://'s.

That only happens when you edit a post with quick edit. It returns to normal after a reload of the thread, this is just the nature of vBulletin.

Is it possible to get the Homepage Links of the Members (postbit and MEMBERINFO) redirected too?

[Dismounted]

Yes, but I don't have it planned.

[Dominic]

How come when i click any link, it goes to 2 redirect pages? How can i limit this to one, as 2 is pretty annoying.

[arco]

Seems to have problems with urls enclosed in (). Like for example (http://www.vbulletin.org)

Then it adds the last ) to the redirect url.

Same problem.
I removed this, But enjoyed having it.
When removing the hack I had some history of posts problems doing the redirect still when the mod has been completely removed, and the redirect would just send it to a unknown page. Had to run a backup :erm:

The earlyer versions didn't seem to have that problem

This happens when you don't specify url tags and the link is automatically parsed. This is a vBulletin problem and is not caused by my hack.

This is most likely caused by what I had to do to get it working with other hacks (such as vbAdvanced). Still trying to figure out how to avoid this.

Does that Addon works with ebay (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=144214) and amazon (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=119220) affilinet link rewrites?

and a limitation would be great, that only guest will be redirected thru the doorwaypage (with some small ads), could this be possible?

[Fungsten]

Using it on my test server.

You will have to change the execution orders of the plugin to 10.

Possible, but not planned.
