Same here, uninstalled the old version, ran the queeries and installed 1.03 now nothing... :(

I don't think running the links through a public anonymizer will beat your other system, if there is any .htaccess of any kind the anonymizer will not process the link. Your last hack approach was good it simply needed some refinement where post editing took place in order to deal with duplicating the redirector code.

Hope you sort it out soon, as for myself I have put back the old system until its sorted out :)

Additionaly there was a =3.0.x privacy link MOD, it used the same principle as this one here and had no inherent problems with duplicate tags. Perhaps you could take a peek at the other KACK to see if you can't use the same approach for this hack :)

Sorry guys i will try to have a look one of these days, but not much time now.

Looking at a 3.0 hack will not help, since the internals are really different.

I don't really understand why 1.03 shouldn't work for some people, it is working fine on my testboard.

I noticed some strange behavior:

it works flawless when using the "insert hyperlink" feature, but when posting only the text "www.google.com" or "http://www.google.com" it wouldn´t render the anonymizer URL into until I edited the posting and saved again.

the problem ist, only few people actually use that button and just prefer to type away ... do you know any workaround?

I actually never even tested the 'insert hyperlink'. I have just tested it with typing w ww.google.com on my testboard. Strange that it doesn't work.

I don't really have time to dig deep inot this right now, but i will try to find some time tomorrow or the day after.

Until then i will post a warning in the first post.

PS Since version 1.03 is adding the link when displaying a post, it shouldn't make a difference how you entered it in the first place, very strange. Try just doing a refresh, maybe the AJAX screen update when posting is not showing it.

MarcoH64, strange, but fact: some links anonymized, some - not :( Links posted by some users - just direct links, but all links i posted - anonymized...i don't understand why it happens.

Any chance you could PM me some links of posts that are working and some that are not working?

PS If your board is closed, send also a test account.

I just re-installed the plugin again and like before it works on new posts etc. but now its not anonymizing links in old posts..

btw, I had two ideas for new features:

- a setting for what kind of URL´s are anonymized.
like anonymize all kinds of pages like plain domains, folders, .htm, .php and so on, but don´t anonymze file links

- ability to turn it on / off on a per forum basis.
In my case I really only need it in one forum, and I definately can´t use it in another.

(one forum is called "politics", sometimes people are hotlinking sites we really don´t want visitors from. A totally different forum on the same messageboard is movie-related, and we need to be able to link .mov´s and to save them with right-click.)

another suggestion:

I found out anonymizer.com sucks, it?s only free for a few clicks, after that I?m getting popups and ad pages, telling me I should subscribe. Right now I?m using www.anonym.to - seems to be free and easy!
also killing the referrer, but no proxy.

New version v1.04, should fix the reported bugs.

Will wait to see if this is working good for everyone (did some more extensive testing this time). If all is ok, i will have a look at the feature suggestions.

@dasdingansich
You can configure what anonymizer you want to use, but maybe i should change the default if that one is too much limited.
