Good on Version 4.1.12 :)
thx

There is an easier way to anomize your urls. Only one file edit, no style edits required.

Open "class_bbcode.php".

Search for

Replace it with following code:

This will work on all vb editions and all kind of links, incl SSL. You can use an alternating redirector instead of anonym.to, it will work fine also.

thanks installed 4.1.11 working

this is the best method out there Mr_Devlin
here is the same code with diferent redirecting service if people dont like anonym.to

Could someone please help me with this code and explain me how I can exclude my own website URL , and maybe some others from this?

I need my own board Url beeing untouched from this redirecting when Users post links to threads within my board.

How does the code need to look like with the protected links inside?
Thanks a lot guys 'n gulls.

Cheers,

Just when I was about to Mark this as "didn't work on VB5 I realized I didn't implement the change into all Themes....lol Great Job glad this still works.

its good for what ??
Why should I transfer my users to another site?

If you do not want other sites to know they were link to them from your site. I use this on a couple of my adult sites. Works great.

Well this works on all links except links with https wish there was a way around it but till then just cant use https links

working fine mark as installed thanks

*marked Installed*

Works in 4.2.1 HOWEVER When i added code in footer at the start, it never worked. Moved code to the end of footer and works perfectly.

It's not possible to exclude an URL in this simple way.
All Links will be transferred via the anonymizer-service. In my opinion there's no need to exclude any external link.

In the "ACP --> General settings" you'll find the option "Post Referrer Whitelist" where you can define friendly urls, that may pass the anonymizer.

I'm very new to this, can someone please explain where this "Footer Template" is?

Log into your admin panel.

Go to Styles and Templates. (click on it)

Click on Style Manager

This will expand and show you the current skins you have installed.

Find the skin you are currently using.

In the drop down menu - click on style variable editor.

Click edit templates

Scroll down the list presented and find "footer"

Hope it helps!

Goto your Admincp:
admincp -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager --> Dropdown box (on right): "Edit Templates" --> Scroll till you find "footer" --> Then Click on it.

I hope it helps :)

Thank you guys, wonderful :)

I edited the parent, so any child will take this change along as well.

I do have an additional question though, this does not seem to work for https-links. I reckon this is a fault from anonym's js-script?

Additionally, I noticed one has to refresh the page to see if it works. Is there a way to auto-refresh after a post? The userbase will stay small, so I'm not going to be murdering the server here :)

Have a look at Post 42. That's the way to transfer any url via the given anonymizer. NOTE: Don't forget to roll back the changes you made in the footer template!

Add an meta tag to headinclude template:

content=X means in seconds the time for refreshing
URL should be your forumhome index...

Note, that this kind of refresh will cause heavy server loads; it will be also not useful when posting...

Easier way is to use <CTRL>+<F5> (or <F5> only>...

Mr_Devlin

That post42 edit results into links like:
It seems to have the tendency to work cumulative, redirecting a redirection that's redirected through a redirection, if you catch my drift.

Also a shame that the footer-hack doesn't seem to be compatible with this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=1941 I am using the 7.84 version (without collapse)

That's weird...Ok, here is a little work around:

Open class_bbcode.php (same file you used above) and search for this code (around line 2383):

Change it to:

I've done this, but it results in this error:

I am running: vB 4.2.2

I run this hack on 4.1.9 and it works well - I don't know why this error occurs on your vb...maybe the whole function is different for 4.2.x-versions. So reset the code to the default if this will not work

Thanks for this.

Anyway I can get this to work with links inside of the [hide] bb code from the vFCoders - Hide Hack?
Works fine with the rest of the content.

Instalado y funcionando!!!!! gracias.

Please keep all posts in English.

it will work with vbseo ?

the last few days, google has been reporting anonym.to as malware so i removed it on my site.

http://www.google.com/interstitial?u...p://anonym.to/

anyone heard about this?

I coded a custom a script that redirects all external links to an Anonymizer URL. The addon has the javascript file for vBulletin that redirects the links, and it also has the Anonym PHP script that actually redirects the LINK Anonymously.

You can use a different domain or subdomain, or you could just use another directory of your main domain.

This is how I have it setup on my server:

My main domain is:

https://thetechgenius.net


My Anonym Domain (where the addon is installed):

https://ttechg.link

So when a someone clicks an anonym link on my vB forum at https://thetechgenius.net, the link will show like this: https://ttechg.link/?http://vbulletin.org

Note: You can actually click that Anonym link, and it will Anonymously redirect to vBulletin.org. And as you can see, it works for SSL/HTTPS also. Anonym.to doesn't work for SSL, because the server doesn't have SSL enabled.

You host all the files on your own server, so you are in control. You dont have to worry about Anonym.to going down.

I will be releasing the full Addon very soon. I am just cleaning up the javascript, and working out a few bugs. This addon should also work with any website, or web software. Its just Javascript and PHP.

Im running vb 4.2.5 and the class_bbcode.php code is different!

my code is... on line 2452


so how to I change it so his code works?
