Censor or replace specific URL by forum?

Sample image links -

In an ideal world I would have images from Imgur.com be hyper linked [URL] instead of embedded as images [IMG] but I will take all out censoring for the time being if that is easier.

Thanks for the help,
Tim

So, you have images embedded such as:

PHP Code:

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/3SFlgoU.png[/IMG] 


And you would want this changed to:

PHP Code:

[URL]http://i.imgur.com/3SFlgoU.png[/URL] 


And only in certain forums?

Yes, that would be ideal.

Okay, tonight I will look into creating a vB 3.8.x product you can install to do that. It won't change what's in your database, only what is shown when viewing the posts. It will allow you to select the forums in which it is active, and to turn off the product in the settings if needed.

Before I begin work on this, I need you to verify that you are using vB 3.8.x...I don't want to create the product only to find out you are using another version and it doesn't work.

Okay, that should work...my vB 3 dev site is vB 3.8.9, and so I will post back once I have something for you to try.

[MarkFL]

Okay, here is a simple mod that does what you asked. Download the attached .XML file, import it, go the the settings and enable the product and select the forum(s) in which you want it to be active, save the settings and let me know if it works for you.

Also, if you wish for any additional features or changes, feel free to let me know.

Note: It should work for vB 4.x as well.

You are a good person Mark. I have seen you make an addon with just an idea a few times for free I might add, I hope your donation box gets filled, its well deserved.

Sorry for been out of thread.
But you are wrong about Mark. His is not a good person but much much more. Even if you want to donate him for his work, does not accept it. God bless him, and hope he has all the best in his life.

I'll echo the gents above me.

Thanks, everyone!

Now of course it would be nice to hear from the OP, to see whether this addresses the stated issue satisfactorily.
