[assassingod]

Author:ffdcsite

Description: As requested by Mashby, this is a new type of link. Masby usually displays his links like [link] well this quick mod to your vb code will make it look like that.

Preview:Check some of Mashby's posts where he has posted a link, you'll see what im talking about ;)

UPDATE V.2 - Thanks Lord Nite

Instructions:
Log into your admin CP->vBcodes->Add->
vB Code tag-www
vB Code replacement-[<a href="{option}">{param}</a>]
vB Code example-Link
vB Code explanation-This simply makes a new look for a URL Display
Use {option} ?- Yes

That's it, your done:)

Now you all can be a Mashby wannabe:D

[Cassandra Cain]

[seth]

[assassingod]

Thanks Cassandra Cain , AxelRos3 and seth:)

[Dean N Steve]

wow this is such an amazing template mod :( *growls and walks out of thread*

[assassingod]

I know its not a template mod Mist-Why do you think it says [temp] in the title? Temp=Temporary-My intention was that it was going to be somewhere else if this was in the wrong forum:)

Unless you didnt mean that sarcasticly ignore the above statement:)

What this does ZiRu$ is add special vB code to your forum, so that when someone posts a URL link in a post it's changed. Instead of looking like http://www.interpug.com your links will look like [link (http://www.interpug.com)]

You guys are crazy! :rolleyes: ROTFLMAO :D

But this is a nice vB Code mod that I think I'll apply on my boards. It will sure save me some time. :p

[mashby]

Hmmm, I've installed it on my board, but it doesn't appear to be working. [link (http://www.npug.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12210#post12220)

I do believe that New URL Display should actually be www, and that you have {param} and {option} reversed. ONce I figured those two errors out, it worked perfectly.

*doh* Im such an idiot :rolleyes: Thank you very much for that Lord Nite:)

[mashby]

Yep, that fixed it! Thanks Lord Nite.

[imported_Massie]

Where is the template vbcode?

[mashby]

It's not a template. Look in your Admin Control Panel. It's a few items up from where your templates are in the navigation on the left. Look for a section called vB Code. That's where you make this change. :)

[TvNut]

Well I have tried this with no luck...Used what u said word for word...Any help would be great...

Thanks

[assassingod]

What are you trying to do?

Check Lord Nite's posts for the update, ill edit it now:)

[turdboy]

Nice hack your what ever you'd like to classify this as.

5 thumbs up

[assassingod]

Lol! Thanks Turdboy

[webb]

I like this, installing it now..

[TvNut]

It does not work for me either way...Sorry

[assassingod]

Thanks webb(Dont forget to click install:D)

TvNut;
What doesnt work for you?:confused:

[TvNut]

Well I followed the direction to the letter and I do not get the word link it still shows up as a www...thanks

[assassingod]

Hmm...It should work. I have tested it myself. Ill delete my vBcode, then follow my instructions, maybe I made a mistake

[TvNut]

Well I am not the smart with these things but I tried all sorts of combinations...No Luck yet...can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

vB Code tag
www
vB Code replacement
[<a href="{option}">{param}</a>]

vB Code example
Link

vB Code explanation
Simple code that makes the url look better

Use {option} ?
Yes

[turdboy]

Well it all looks right but be sure that when your posting the code shloud look like this:
Link

Not like this:
www.spankmaster.com Like other default codes.

[assassingod]

Yes, turdboy is right:)

[TvNut]

Link is replaced with [ Link] ([<a href="www.address.com"> Link</a>])

that is what it says for a main vb code description...still nothing...

What's the link to your forum?

[TvNut]

well my site is private but when posting a link do i have to type somehing special of do I just post the link like this...

http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mods/showthread.php?s=&threadid=567&perpage=14&pagenumber=3

[turdboy]

You have to type something special which is this: Link

Replace URL with the link you want.

[TvNut]

Ok that works..my next question is there a way to make the vb do it automatically when someone posts a link?

[turdboy]

If possible that would most likely involve editting the function.php file which we dont do here we only edit templates here.

[TvNut]

Well I see but why would you want to type all that...If you have vb then u post a new reply and hit the http button above where you are typing and label it then put in ur url like this


go here for mor info (http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mods/newreply.php?s=&action=newreply&threadid=567)

but you cant use this in quick replys....

[TvNut]

But you were correct...you have to change the functions.php it was just written and works great...whenever you copy and paste to a link it comes up bold red and says link...dont have to type anything b-4 or after...

very nice

[turdboy]

Thats the main reason why I use this code because I rarely ever go to the thread reply box instead of quick reply.

[assassingod]

Very weird, it works for me.:( Ill keep trying

[Buddha]

not working here either... pretty simple stuff... it's not like i'm entering anything in wrong, it's just a few lines... not like an indepth hack.
it's trying to send me to http://mydomain.com/www.link.com
example: trying to create a link to google, it tries to send me to
http://fulldvdreview.com/www.google.com

i have a question too... why not just use the [url] feature instead?
