it doný work in 3.6.4 i get a fatal error

it works great in my 3.6.4

I have made a free mod for torrent tracker using vb 3.6.x and XBT backend.
You can grab it from my sourceforge site
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vbtt
and install it yourself or i offer custom install services using a custom version of the free release.

You must not of carried out step 4 in the instructions, you have to do that or the links will not work and spaces will be inserted in them. Read quote below taken from the instructions. This will also be why your file sizes are being displayed incorrectly, because your links are not correct (due to spaces) to work the total size out.

If you follow the instructions to the letter and read them carefully, this works fine with vBulletin 3.6.4

I've spotted a problem with this hack.

After you use this hack to post ed2k links on your forum, which are displayed in a box in your threads like the images show here in the demo.

If you go into your admin settings and run the "Rebuild Post Cache" option. For some reason all the boxes that contain the ed2k links vanish from all the threads. But if you choose to edit a thread were you posted the links, you can see the ed2k links are still there and when you save the thread again, the box that conatains the ed2k links is displayed back again.

But this means, if you was to have a large amount of ed2k links posted on your forum. And you ran the "Rebuild Post Cache" they would all vanish from the threads, meaning you wouold have to edit every single thread to get them displayed back again.

Anybody got any ideas why this is happening, it's as though something is not cached correctly meaning you lose all the ed2k links being displayed in threads after you run the "Rebuild Post Cache". Even though you can see there still there if you edit the posts.

Great work Paul, but i have a suggestion.

How could us allow just some usergroups to use this skill??

Thnks :)

hey mate i have a problem in installation.txt where u say

i couldnt do that where do i add that 50 to 0 i get the error on snap it leaves a space between hash numbers on ed2k link and the emule doesn't recognize the link so i need to get this done if anybody can help me..??

can anybody show me where to put that code...??

Hi!

i have a problem. Once i post the elink, i can view it, but after an undetermined period of time, i get back to the thread and i can not see the elink. If i edit the post i see that the elink is there, but it is not being shown. Then when i save the post with doing no changes, i see the elink again.

Why does it happens? It is the same problem explained by another user 3 posts before mine :)

thnks.

aveon, Du bist schon richtig, Du musst aus "Anzahl der Zeichen bevor ein Zeilenumbruch erfolgt" eine NULL machen, eben da wo jetzt noch die 50 steht, dann ist das Leerzeichen auch weg

srry bro i dnt speak german my webmaster is from german so our site is german ass well so if u explain it in english ill be glad

uups ;)
where you find your picture saying "Anzahl der Zeichen bevor ein Zeilenumbruch erfolgt", that's where you have to change the value to Zero (0 instead of the 50 that's in your picture) to avoid automated text-wrapping.

'sid

Look for this setting and change it to "0". This setting has to be set to "0", otherwise spaces will be inserted into your ed2k links and (they won't work).

As a side note, has anybody looked at the code and figured out, why when you "Rebuild Post Cache" in the admin settings, all the ed2k links vanish from the threads there posted in. And will only come back if you edit the threads and save them again - to get them to reappear again.

Check the image out.

well...
looks like the javascript will cease to work if post is trying to be rebuild,
the output is generated within the browser (that's what javascript is made for)
so it can't be called by the server itself afaik...

No javascript no output... that's it,
If a post is called from cache all bbcodes are stripped out or will be ignored;
so I think you'll have to disable cache :(

btw, you don't have to edit the posts.. you'll just have to wait that the posts are cleared from cache then they'll be rebuild by the users browser.

to be honest, i just took a very short look at the xml... maybe I'm wrong ;)

'sid

ps that was a screenshot of his very own board, so I think he already understood ;)

First of sorry for this bump.

I was looking for something like this so I downloaded and installed it.
All works fine.

The problem some of you have with links dissapearing, I havent had em (also rebuilded cache and stuff like you said)

Als o took a look at the code.
The javascript is there for a couple of reasons:

The download function is for the downloading action (duh).
Then there is the checkAll. This only makes that the bottom checkbox, when activated, checks or unchecks all other boxes.

Last but not least there are the size functions. The are there to update the total amount when you check/uncheck items.

The rest of the table is created in the code itself (the code you added in the bbparse file).
The functions made in there are called on by hook (havent looked where the hook is at but he seems to be ok because it functions normally)

First of I thought that the problem was located in the caching of the templates but after a check on the call it appears that also this is done correctly.

I will be running this code for a test period to just make sure everything is ok.

If ppl still experience problems like this pls let us know so that we can find a sollution for it.
It would be a shame to let this nice hack go to waste.

[EDIT]
Just reloaded cache and idd they disapeared.
Does anyone have a clue yet how this is possible????

This Hack doesn´t work with vb 3.6.5

Hack works fine under vb 3.6.5. You need to do all file edits over again.

I made an alteration in the plugin to go around "the max char before wordwrap" and included in this post. Just overwrite the old plugin with this one. Now it won't add spaces in long urls even if you have a max chars set in the options.

I also have an update on the disapear issue.
I've searched all over the vB forums and found that it has something to do with the "postparsed" table in the database.
Because vB automaticly caches all tags standard in vB and excludes none standard bbcodes.
I also found some workarounds to exclude certain bbcode from the cache rebuild but none seem to work.

Maybe someone here knows how we can work around this??

If you say there are certain vB codes in the database that are listed as postparsed to cache. Could you not add a query to the database to include the ed2k vbcode so that is parsed also to the list in the database by running a query to it. It may also mean having to edit the right php file also to add the ed2k code to the list of other vbcodes that are parsed as well.

Would that not do it?

I hope you guys can find a workaround for this... I'm sorry I can't help, tried to figure it out and failed. :(

The code you added to the XML file to disable Smiles and Wordwrap causes errors with the class_bbcode.php file when you view a thread. You get an error message displayed like this below: (This error is not shown if you install the plug-in without your changes made to the XML plug-in file).

All I can think is you must have to also add some extra code to the class_bbcode.php file when you do the ed2k edits in it. To compansate for the changes you made in the XML plug-in regarding smiles being disabled and wordwrap

Just an update here:

I have fixed some problems and also added a few more features to make the hack a little better. Here are a list of things I have changed:

[1] I have now added instructions on how to create a "Template Group", so your two ed2k templates added, are situated in there very own ED2K Template group.

[2] Instructions have also been added, so you can display the ed2k link editor icon image in both the "Quick Edit" and "Quick Reply" pages on your forum. No need to go "Advanced" anymore to use the ed2k link editor icon.

[3] The "Word Wrap" and "Disable Smilies" has been fixed now in the XML code, there was an error in the code that CarpHunter posted earlier in this thread. That's been fixed now and was a simple mistake he made). Meaning there is no need to change the "Word Wrap" settings in the AdminCP options anymore. The instructions in the download have been edited to reflect this, along with some other changes as well. Smilie code will also not effect ed2k links posted now. If an ed2k link has a smilies code in it by accident like:

for example. It won't be displayed in the ed2k link as a smilie image. While still working as normal in your threads.

[4] I've also changed the link at the bottom of the ed2k link box, so it now leads to eMules own site, instead of ed2k.biz. And the text before the link explains they need eMule installed to download the links (quick reminder with a link for them).


Unfortunately, I've not had the time so far to look into the cache problem posted in a few threads above above. I'll take a look at this later (but I'm not hopeful I can fix this problem). Would be nice if some clever coder could also try and find a solution to that problem to stop all ed2k link disappearing when you re-build the cache in the AdminCP.

Removed, I'm no longer working with this hack anymore

Question: did you fix the cache problem?

Yes and no. I spoke the a chinese guy called: Skylook who created the ed2k version for IPB which he advertises for download on Invisionize.

He sent me another copy that he said all the chinese use for there ed2k link sites. Basicly is was more or less the same script with a few changes here and there. That did sort the cache problem out in that hack. But now I know why, well sort of. All the code went in the class_bbcode and global_js script. It didn't use a plug-in. So it was being cached.

The down side was, it showed javascript errors in the Print page version. So it been a mix of his sorts the cache problem out. While mine doesn't suffer from the javascript error on the Print Friendly page.

But they are just a variation of each other. There the same script installed differently. Been working for days trying to get one out of the two working 100%. But no joy.

Which is a pity becuase the script I have here now updated that I posted here. Now shows file download availablity for each file from an outside website. And also the TAG is now sorted also.

any more news?

No, I'm not pursuing this anymore

yeah i took a look myself and was way over my head, sorry for not getting back to ya bro, real life issues stopped me from persuing this with you.

Like MRGTB I also got the cache thing sorted.

Still working on some little additions like per forum permission.
Also trying to make it a complete plugin product but thats pretty hard (still have the edittor images to fix)

If interested I can release something later this week (if thats ok by MRGTB ofcourse because he started this mod)

Yeah, no problem mate. Release it as a new version if you want supported by yourself. I don't mind one bit either way.

In fact if I had of still had the hack with "payed" changes I hired a coder to make, I would have given it for you to play around with. As it had the add cutom "TAG" to ed2k links option added into it, and also converted ed2k HTML links to BBCODE, as well as working with standard ed2k links. Plus it displayed the availablity of each link also. But I deleted the hack by accident and the person who I payed for the work did'nt keep a copy of it at his end. So I losed some very important changes.

Pity really, as they were two very cool features that cost me ?100 to get coded into it.

PS: I never did get the cache problem sorted, that was the last thing that needed fixing that I never got sorted. Has you sorted a proper fix out for the cache problem, so when you "re-build post cache" the links remain dipplayed in threads there posted in?

To bad to hear all the work is lost :( Those were some nice features. Maybe I'll try to get them in as well)

I got the whole cache thing sorted (or at least I'm testing as we speak but it still hasn't gone wrong). It will always show even after updating cache.

Thanks for letting me release it. Will do my best to keep the quality of the mod as high as possible.

I've added you as a Co Author
