Sorry for this newbie question... what is a ed2k link?

Thanks for that update.

at this moment i see two bug
Uncached templates: ed2k (1)
Uncached templates: ed2kbit (1)
and with Fire fox the link are not copy
thanks for this mod

Yes that right, I wasn't sure how to add the code to "cache the templates" in the plug-in, which is why I said in the installation file to add the template names to global.php instead to cache them that way instead. If a person knows how to add the cache code to the plug-in instead, to avoid having to edit the global.php file. I will alter the upload to not add the template names to the global.php file, and update the plug-in also for download. You will have to post the complete new plug-in code though for me to update it.

Yes, I'm aware that with Firefox the "copy links" is a problem. Hopefully we shall see a fix for that posted here, so again I can update the download. But the option is always there to completely remove that feature if you wish from the hack code.

I would also like to have integrated the option to "Add your own TAG" in the ed2k links posted. There is another hack here that does this. If a person can take that option from that hack and integrate it into this (maybe the author of that hack). And post the updated code here. Again I will update the download to reflect the changes. The "TAG" option a good feature to include because it means you can advertise your own site address or name in the TAG's that gets added automatically at the end of every ed2k link posted on your board (very good way to advertise your site in emule). Here is the link to the other hack that I would like to see that TAG feature taken from, and integrated into this version: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...highlight=ed2k

Hasn't edonkey just gone belly up?

...looks like eMule is still around, though :)

suppose this could be altered for other stuff besides edonkey am i right ?
How about one for nzbs or is that a no go ?

I've just updated the download, I noticed in the installations details, the bit were you have to add some code to your global.php file was missing to cache the templates, that will sort the cached template problem out. Also updated the plug-in to 3.6.1 version from 3.6.0.

I've also completly removed the option to "COPY LINKS" seeing as that didn't work right in Firefox and only did in IE. It was not really needed as a feature (it would only give other users an easy way to take ed2k links and post them on there own site fast). So you now just have a download button only, and no copy links button. (all the code for that was removed from the hack).

eDonkey is the name of the file sharing protocol, but you're right, the original client is not very popular.
The eDonkey network hasn't gone belly up, but is not as popular as the Bit Torrent protocol at the moment.There are several clients like eMule and eMule Plus and the indexing sites like sharereactor, which were shut down earlier, are coming back.

eDonkey is a file sharing protocol that works over various p2p networks

Take a look at this to find out what eDonkey is:

Shareaza is one, eMule Plus is another :)
