ed2k

[Brandon Sheley]

and for my second request

i have been using a p2p shairng client lately, called eMule..
I would like to have a BBcode that i could place a ed2k link inside and when a user clicks, it would load on there emule program..

i've seen sites have them b4, and some members of the vb support sites have them also, on their sites, i'd like to use this and i think it would greatly help share our music,,
thank you

if you need more info, i can try and find it. I'm pretty new to the emule still , but i know it can work.

i'll have to look around.
i'm going to try and do it myself, i don't really know anything tho, so doubt this will go far..lol
this is where i got the p2p thing http://www.emule-project.net if that helps

Should be able to just use the URL command as normal. Have you tried this?

Has been possible since vBulletin 3.0.0 Beta 1.

Would be nice to see an ed2k links system working right in vb3. as there are none right now at all that work correctly, nor has there ever been a working ed2k (edonkey/emule) hack

Works just fine without any special Hack?

No, sometimes it does. try getting some strange links. Or just try about about 20 different ones. You will see that with some vBulletin inserts "%" spaces in the links on some. Also your link if you noticed opened in a new browser window. Not the same Browser window which is not what I want.

If ed2k links open in the same browser window, you still stay on the same page because it starts the emule program or adds a link to it. It doesn't change your site page to a new site page. Like a normal URL would do. So it working as a target="_self" link is the best way for them to avoid having to keep closing new windows when links are clicked.

Go try about 20-30 other links, get some strange ones with funny codes in them. and some long ones too. You will see what I mean when you test them. I'll also try and find one to give you an example. But try it on your own board first not here. This siite might have been coded a little different compared to a default vBulletin board. Who knows!

EDIT:

Ok I found one. I'm presuming from the link list to add a link you choose Other as the type of link to add, if you didn't let me know so I can try it the way you did it.

I can't add it here because it doesn't give me a "drop down" list of link types to choose from, but try this on your own board. It only allows me HTTP links here which is no good at all, it needs to: Other.
