[Temp] New Link Look
 

Author:ffdcsite

Description: As requested by Mashby, this is a new type of link. Masby usually displays his links like [link] well this quick mod to your vb code will make it look like that.

Preview:Check some of Mashby's posts where he has posted a link, you'll see what im talking about ;)

vB Code tag-www
vB Code replacement-[<a href="{option}">{param}</a>]
vB Code example-[www=www.address.com]Link[/www]
vB Code explanation-This simply makes a new look for a URL Display
Use {option} ?- Yes

That's it, your done:)

Now you all can be a Mashby wannabe:D

But I'm already a mashby wannabe ;) Going to install this right away - thanks! :)

thx a million, i wanted this too...Im a mashby wannabe! :)

i pressed the install buttton as well thx for the mod.

nice

Thanks Cassandra Cain , AxelRos3 and seth:)

wow this is such an amazing template mod :( *growls and walks out of thread*

I know its not a template mod Mist-Why do you think it says [temp] in the title? Temp=Temporary-My intention was that it was going to be somewhere else if this was in the wrong forum:)

Unless you didnt mean that sarcasticly ignore the above statement:)

can someone post a example?

What this does ZiRu$ is add special vB code to your forum, so that when someone posts a URL link in a post it's changed. Instead of looking like http://www.interpug.com your links will look like [link]


You guys are crazy! :rolleyes: ROTFLMAO :D

But this is a nice vB Code mod that I think I'll apply on my boards. It will sure save me some time. :p

Hmmm, I've installed it on my board, but it doesn't appear to be working. [link

I do believe that New URL Display should actually be www, and that you have {param} and {option} reversed. ONce I figured those two errors out, it worked perfectly.

vB Code tag-www
vB Code replacement-[<a href="{option}">{param}</a>]

*doh* Im such an idiot :rolleyes: Thank you very much for that Lord Nite:)

Yep, that fixed it! Thanks Lord Nite.

Where is the template vbcode?

It's not a template. Look in your Admin Control Panel. It's a few items up from where your templates are in the navigation on the left. Look for a section called vB Code. That's where you make this change. :)

Well I have tried this with no luck...Used what u said word for word...Any help would be great...

Thanks

What are you trying to do?

Check Lord Nite's posts for the update, ill edit it now:)

Nice hack your what ever you'd like to classify this as.

5 thumbs up

Lol! Thanks Turdboy

I like this, installing it now..

It does not work for me either way...Sorry

Thanks webb(Dont forget to click install:D)

TvNut;
What doesnt work for you?:confused:

Well I followed the direction to the letter and I do not get the word link it still shows up as a www...thanks

Hmm...It should work. I have tested it myself. Ill delete my vBcode, then follow my instructions, maybe I made a mistake

Well I am not the smart with these things but I tried all sorts of combinations...No Luck yet...can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

vB Code tag
www
vB Code replacement
[<a href="{option}">{param}</a>]

vB Code example
[www=www.address.com]Link[/www]

vB Code explanation
Simple code that makes the url look better

Use {option} ?
Yes

Well it all looks right but be sure that when your posting the code shloud look like this:
[www=www.spankmaster.com]Link[/www]

Not like this:
[www]www.spankmaster.com[/www] Like other default codes.

Yes, turdboy is right:)

[www=www.address.com]Link[/www] is replaced with [ Link] ([<a href="www.address.com"> Link</a>])

that is what it says for a main vb code description...still nothing...

What's the link to your forum?

well my site is private but when posting a link do i have to type somehing special of do I just post the link like this...

http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mo...4&pagenumber=3

You have to type something special which is this: [www=Url]Link[/www]

Replace URL with the link you want.

Ok that works..my next question is there a way to make the vb do it automatically when someone posts a link?

If possible that would most likely involve editting the function.php file which we dont do here we only edit templates here.

Well I see but why would you want to type all that...If you have vb then u post a new reply and hit the http button above where you are typing and label it then put in ur url like this


go here for mor info

but you cant use this in quick replys....

But you were correct...you have to change the functions.php it was just written and works great...whenever you copy and paste to a link it comes up bold red and says link...dont have to type anything b-4 or after...

very nice

Thats the main reason why I use this code because I rarely ever go to the thread reply box instead of quick reply.

Very weird, it works for me.:( Ill keep trying

not working here either... pretty simple stuff... it's not like i'm entering anything in wrong, it's just a few lines... not like an indepth hack.
it's trying to send me to http://mydomain.com/www.link.com
example: trying to create a link to google, it tries to send me to
http://fulldvdreview.com/www.google.com

i have a question too... why not just use the [url] feature instead?
