Now my request is can we autocreate threads with links to ldm entries that open in same window and not new windows. I think as the links and download system is an in site, in domain thing and there is no need of opening new windows as users can browse through the forum using the links in the navbar itself and also browsers back and forward buttons.
Andrew I really appreciate your help, you have done so much with this addon.

Thanks for your kind words.

I think the easiest way to have the thread-link open in the same window is as follows:

a) Create a "custom bbcode" (vb/admin) called LURL, with the following as the replacement:

<a href="{option}">{param}</a>

b) Edit (vb/admin) the phrase ldm_thread_create_body and change the sequence

To check it out, visit [ url={3}]{1}[/url ]

to

To check it out, visit [lurl={3}]{1}[/lurl]

ie change the url tag to a lurl tag

One point to note. Standard vbulletin handling of the url tag includes checks to stop hackers putting rogue jumps with javascript, etc, onto your board. A custom bbcode does not include these checks. (There is a way to cope with this, but I haven't time to do this at the moment.)
