Invalid Redirect Issue
You will need to add each sponsor URL (FULL URL) to the "Redirect Domain Whitelist" in the vBulletin Options -> Site Name / URL / Contact Details section. See screenshot below.

I'll work on automating this in the next release, but this should at least get you guys up & going again.

Do we just set them up in order or how does this work?

Doesn't matter the order. vBulletin checks that value anytime a redirect is requested that isn't local (on your site).

I love to see this mod support SWF files, or even better the ability to use iFrames. Any chance?

Hey Deviation

Just wanted to see if you still have plans to revamp this for the vb 4.x series. This is such an awesome mod I use it on my 3.8 version but would love to my 4.x site

I don't have that option either. Instead, I did the following:

I created a subdir called "redirects" and created redirect pages in there for each forum.

e.g.

Forum 1 advertisers url in the vBSponsors form field is to: /redirects/forum1.htm and THAT file has a redirect in the meta tag like so:

Code:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://www.AdvertisersURL.com/">

The whole forum1.htm file looks like this if you're not sure what you're doing:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">

<html>

<head>

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://www.AdvertisersURL.com/">

<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow">

<title>redirect</title>

</head>

<body>

</body>

</html>

That works fine - the negative is that the user sees an error message for a few seconds, then it redirects ok to the advertisers site and hopefully they forget about the error message, because it worked :)

Make a file for every forum. Just hope you don't have 80 forums like me!

Thank you so much for the advice.

I would only add that it might be better to use php for redirection:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php



   header( 'Location: http://www.xxxxxxxxx.com/' ) ;



?>
