The vB option have to be set, so the change take place, if validation is set in your vB option, then the validate link will appear, if it isn't the Validate Link will not apear :)

Great addon. Thanks a lot for this.

I installed it and everything works just fine on vbulletin 2.2.8!

Thanks again,

Your welcome Ricoche, have fun, and report any problems in this thread.

I'm not sure if this is a problem or not and this also could be just my system.

After clicking a few links to try this out I notice it kept reloading my site. For a while there I thought the script wasn't working and then while sitting there for a moment longer I noticed it kind of redirected itself to the actual link.

My minor concern here is that my users will think the link is broken because it's reloading my site. There is a message there that says "one moment please..." but it kind of fooled me because it was very small and the link wouldn't load until after my site finished reloading.

Is this normal or might there be some system problem I'm having.

I love this script because it looks much nicer than my vbportal version but I wish it would load the new site first and not reload my site.

Oh well, I'll keep toying with it.

Thanks again,

Ricoche

You are supposed to get this intermediate page, I suspect it's because the database is being updated with no. of hits the link has received. It's the same reason there are intermediate pages after posting in vbulletin etc. to give the database a chance to be written to.

HTH, G :rambo:

Is there any way around this? I see this as being a real annoyance to my users, especially ones on dial-up. On broadband you can't even see what the page is even supposed to say it sort of just blinks on then off when the new page loads. Which is sort of annoying as well. Great hack by the way. Thanks.

You could always give up tracking hits :)

I have installed the hack. appears in admin controll fine and displays fine in admin. But on the main board I don't see a sign of it.....ummmm help me please

Please note that i'm new to all this, so I am a learner! :surprised:

I have VB 2.2.8

here is what I did..... edited all the files adminfunctions, index, template. deleted and updated the files with the newly edited ones.
did the vbldir_install which went fine. Deleted the vbldir_install file as per instructions.
uploaded templates what come with the .zip for the hack, into the vbulletin root. Copied links.php into vbulletin root.
Copied weblinksadmin.php into admin folder

Thanks, MonsterDK

does vb links support a user permission (user masks) or can you enable a password on a vblinks forum? basically to restrict access to a certain weblink forum?

good stuff man, nick hack
