Author: MarcoH64

vBulletin Version: 3.5.1

Warning: Version 1.02 might create double anonym links if you edit a post multiple times. Version 1.03 has been reported not to be working for some people. Please read posts in this thread if you plan on using this hack, until i had time to look into this.
v1.05 and higher should be the best versions
1.10 Is an updated version of 1.05.3 and is considered a stable release. Only version 1.10 will be supported now.

Description:
This Product will add a self configurable anonymising link to all external urls in posts.

Installation:
Install the XML-file as Product.

Configuration:
vBulletin Options->Link Anonymizer :

• Local Addresses

Local addresses are not anonymized. If you leave this option blank, the value for vBulletin Options Cookie Domain will be used. Do not use a http:// prefix.

If you start the name with a dot (.mydomain.com) all server addresses ending with this will be considered local. If you want to add mulitple domain/servernames, seperate them by a single space.

• Anonymizer (default: http://anonym.to/?)

Link to a anonymizer function. Use preceding / if needed. Other Usable Anonymizers:

http://anon.free.anonymizer.com/ 
 
http://anonym.webgurus.de (Thanks Wachtmeister)

• Allways anonymize Unparseble URLs (* New in version 1.10)

i've adjusted the source code for this product so that it's compatible with vB3.6.x - i'm not sure of the protocal as to posting, porting, or if i can even post it here. if anyone has any info, please let me know and i'll put it up if it's allowed. i should also mention that i have it tested on my 3.6.1 forum and works fine.

I'm not much of a coder but that is my conclusion and it worked for me so if you want to try always backup your sql or you can upload this to your sql the exact same one i uploaded to my sql

good luck

ps change extension to sql from txt it didn't let me upload it that way here

Worked for me, thanks

found a bug, when working under vB 3.6.x

the original link is: http://www.discogs.com/collection?user=PKS
link, that i should get after parsing: http://anonym.to/?http://www.discogs...ction?user=PKS

BUT, what i get is: http://anonym.to/?http://www.discogs.com/
