Prevent Live Links From Being Posted

By using this modification, you can prevent live links from being posted.
Just a simple modification I made for you guys to use, just import it and your done!

This gives the user and error if their post contains URL or EMAIL tags.

working with vBulletin 3.8.1 ? i test but nothing happen :)

Hm..should be working fine, try making a new post and put something like this in it and see what it says.

could it be done in such a way that live links will be accepted when they are put between code tags, but not otherwise?

that wud help a lot

If you put your links into code tags like this,

It will give you an error.

so basically any links anywhere it gives an error?

sorry if i understood it wrong .. but whats the use then :-s

I dont quite understand this mod myself ?
But it would Be cool if you could add usergroup options to allow or disallow certain urls regardless of being inbetween code tags or not ?
Ive just tryed this with V3.8.1 aswell, tryed urls/ email addys in and not inbetween code tags
and its not working :(

Dam this could be very usefull aswell.

So does this prevent the links from being parsed (ie surrounded by A HREF tags?), or does it block you from posting any text that starts with "http://www"?

If I wanted people to stop posting links, I would:
Go into Admin CP->vBulletin Options->BB Code Settings
and then I would disable the Links BBCode:

So then if I was to make a post like this (with 3 forms of links):
I would get this:
Attachment 95607

If I wanted to stop the URL from coming up at all, I could always just add "http://www" to my censored word list, so if someone tried posting a link to a website it would show up as:
**********.google.com instead of http://www.google.com
Or ***.google.com instead of www.google.com

It seems much easier than installing another mod when vBulletin has the functionality built in.
