What it does

This hack enables a new bb code, [ preview ] this code followed by a url will display "preview here" on your post, when clicked this will take the user to a page with a header bar, with your forums logo on etc, and the url in the bottom frame

This could be usefull for:

Previewing Hacks
Previewing Templates
Prevewing websites in progress

Still to do

Need to sort out the back to forum link so it goes back to the post the user came from, working on this atm

7th April 2004 - Full list of vPreview 1.1 features can be found Here (http://www.imaedia.com/forum/showthread.php?p=138#post138)

great work!!!

would u happen to know how i could make this work with [url] also?

[tomp]

ill look into it for the next version :)

[PET]

Correct me if i'm wrong. This is like that stupid thing from MSN, if you open a link from them, they have that thing that tell's you that this link has been open from MSN ?

[AN-net]

i have figured it out:)

[tomp]

Yes its like the external link thing on hotmail, but the differance is this is for previewing hacks/templates/tutorials etc, in later versions there will be download features etc within the header, check the link in the first post to chek what features are planned

[Ordovicium]

Yeah, that's what I am looking for, but I will wait for the next version with the enhance go back button.

[tomp]

I have 2 suggestions:
It would be also cool, when you can insert an optional text. Maybe in the center.
Like: This is a redirect site and not part of the community

And the other one.
A link to remove the banner.

How lazy are people to not just hit back on their browser?

anyone have any idea how to make
mt site always use the preview code
when someone enters a link .......

that way i dont need to have them use the [preview]
stuff.

administrator . then i want it to work like normal .

ok i have this working by changing the code in :

functions_newpost.php


// ###################### Start parseurl #######################
function convert_url_to_bbcode($messagetext)
{ // the auto parser - adds tags around neccessary things

global $urlSearchArray, $urlReplaceArray, $emailSearchArray, $emailReplaceArray;

if (!isset($urlSearchArray))
{
$urlSearchArray = array(
"#(^|(?<=[^_a-z0-9-=\]\"'/]))((https?|ftp|gopher|news|telnet)://|www\.)((\[(?!/)|[^\s[()^$!`\"'|{}<>])+)(?!\[/url|\[/img)(?=[,.]*([\s)[]|$))#siU"
);

if($permissions['adminpermissions']){
$urlReplaceArray = array(
"[url]\\2\\4"
);
}else{
$urlReplaceArray = array(
"[preview]\\2\\4"
);
}

$emailSearchArray = array(
"/([ \n\r\t])([_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[^\s]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,4}))/si",
"/^([_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[^\s]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,4}))/si"
);

$emailReplaceArray = array(
"\\1\\2",
"\\0"
);
}

$text = preg_replace($urlSearchArray, $urlReplaceArray, $messagetext);
if (strpos($text, "@"))
{
$text = preg_replace($emailSearchArray, $emailReplaceArray, $text);
}

return $text;

}
