Howto Link forum to location?

[GoTTi]

Example is on vbulletin.com forums, where the link to:

vBulletin Code Hacks @ vBulletin.org

points here to vbulletin.org when clicked on it.

How is that done?

You can do this without hacking.

When you Add a forum, or Edit a forum, where you normally enter the Forum Title, enter this:

</a><a href="http://www.yahoo.com">Click here to go to Yahoo!</a>

The Forum is now a link to Yahoo! No hacking needed!

In the forum title, instead of the name of the forum, put this:

</a><a href="http://www.google.com">Click here to go to Google</a>

Did you miss my above post? Haha.

You edited your post. Before, you linked to my post - I thought I would just post the solution anyway.

very nice....thanx guys

ok i did that and it worked...

but what I have the highlight/click hack on a forum, and when the mouseover just highlights the forum, and it isnt directly placed on the link, clicked...it goes to the forum.

how can this work with the highlight hack?

[Erwin]

That will need a hack.

Do this:

Open forumdisplay.php

Find:

PHP Code:

// end forumjump redirects 


BELOW, add:

PHP Code:

if ($forumid=='xx') {
    header("Location: http://www.google.com");
  exit;
} 


Replace xx with the forumid that you are using to redirect.

This will make ForumJump work as well. Should work. If it doesn't, try to remove http:// from the URL in the code.
