Well anything pretty much is possible but I don't intend to add that feature- the quick links were an afterthought - just something so people could have some links out of the box. My intent was for users to manage links themselves using either a proper link manager or their own template edits- in either of those cases control over specific forums would/should be easy.

The mod is as safe as the IFRAMEs you link to. Do not link to untrusted sources and there shouldn't be a problem.

The mod does have an option to view the IFRAMEs in security mode but that is something only Internet Explorer supports so it is of little practical value.

Updated to Version 1.1

Added option to use "Absolute" URLs for Links in Quick Links. These are only necessary if your blogs or CMS (or 3rd party CMS) is in a different directory than your main forums. Using Absolute URLs will prevent file-not-found errors when clicking on the links from outside the forum directory.

Thank you Joe ... :)

Can you send me via PM your PayPal address for the PRO mod?

I thought I had it from sending you a PayPal for a different mod, but I can't seem to find it now ... ;)

Would you be willing to add the ability to add a new drop down menu next to "Quick Links" say "External Links" where these would appear?

iFrames :(

thanks for the share

How do the advertisements work with iFrames? If I use this on my site and display another sites page, do their advertisements display and do they receive a "Page View" or do I, or do we both get a page view?

I will try. Not sure how difficult that might be right now.

Why so sad?

If there are ads on the framed page then when someone views it from the iframe they count as page-views to the site the from originates from. You get no credit or anything from what is in the iframe- it is exactly like if the user happens to have another tab open with the iframe content.

You should be weary about linking to sites with their own ads, if you show 2 google adsense ads, and the site you linked to shows 2 google ads, you would be in violation of adsense terms for example that limit it to 3 ads per page. I've never seen anyone punished by google for occasional use like with this mod but people who purposely use frames to get around the ad limit have been punished.

Also in addition to what BirdofPrey5 says, Iframes also violate Google Adsense TOS, so you do want to be careful there. It's difficult to track true views in iframes, plus iframes tend to inflate views so many venues are outlawing them via their TOS. I got a warning on one of my websites where I had Adense in Iframe based rotator scripts. It was actually inflating the views, so I removed all ads out of iframe rotators and used a different mod. You might get a warning if Google detects ads in iframes, but typically they give you time to fix it.

My recommendation if you include webpages from another website using this mod is it be a vanilla page free of ads and just a single column template.

Ok, thanks. But this would be perfect for an online store or something along those lines...

Ok, I tried to install the product and half of it did install. I see the options in the CP>Options to turn the iFrames plugin on. But there is no IFRAMES CP anywhere else to add the iframe data?
