Open local links in same window; external links in new window

By default, vBulletin opens all links in posts in a new window (target="_blank").

This mod opens local links (i.e., links from your domain) in the same window (target="_self"), and external links in a new window or tab (target="_blank").

INSTRUCTIONS:

AdminCP >> Style Manager >> Common Templates >> headinclude

FIND in headinclude (this is where I added the code but probably anywhere would work):

PHP Code:


		
			
<vb:if condition="$stylevar['favicon']">

    <link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="{vb:stylevar favicon}" type="image/x-icon" />

</vb:if>

ADD AFTER:

PHP Code:


		
			
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function() {

    $("a[href^=http]").each(function(){

        if(this.href.indexOf(location.hostname) == -1) {

           $(this).attr('target','_blank');

        }else{

           $(this).attr('target','_self');

        }

    })

});

</script>

Save. Done. :)

Thanks to my son, Wilder Tweedale, for assistance with the code.

Before someone asks the obvious question...

Q: How is this mod different from the mod by SweCastel https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=256195?

A: SweCastel's mod requires editing one of the core vBulletin files. I dislike doing that because it means re-editing the file with every update. The current mod requires template edits only.

This is a great idea, I use a custom BBCode for local links on my forum but it's annoying to have to worry about which are local and which aren't.

I would just give a heads up to people if they are already loading jquery on their pages they don't need to load it twice- actually 2 different jquery versions may conflict.

To be honest, I thought it was loaded in native vBulletin installations but couldn't get the script to work without the load line added.

I didn't want to release my own here since if it wasn't for yours I wouldn't have thought to do it. ;)

Well, suffice it to say that I'm now using yours. :)

And I wouldn't be offended in the slightest if you re-released your mod here.

Excellent... To others, I'm now using the BOP5 mod on four vB4 forums... highly recommended.
