Direct External Links · **Released**: 09-23-2007

Direct External Links - 1.0.0a

Modification: Direct External Links
Version: 1.0.0a
Author: MarcoH64 / Marco van Herwaarden
vB Version: 3.6.8 (might work on older 3.6.x versions)

Based on request: Direct Forum Link

Please don't forget to click Install at vbulletin.org if you want to keep updated.

Description:
Standard vBulletin offers the option to create forum that is a link to an URL ("Forum URL"). This will however not be a direct link, but a redirect over forumdisplay.php.

With this modification you will have the option to replace the redirect link over forumdisplay.php with the real direct external link. This option can be set for each forum (that has the Forum URL set) individually. This will work both on ForumHome and on ForumDisplay.

1 product file
2 manual template edit.

Change Log:

24 september 2007 - 1.0.0a
- Updated install instructions to work also for Sub-Forums and both on ForumHome and ForumDisplay

Doesn't quite fork for me. From forumhome http://www.socaloffroading.com/ you see it's not working, but from the sub forum it is http://www.socaloffroading.com/forumdisplay.php?f=21 (the first 3 have been changed, the rest haven't)

Thank you!

I don't see any external links at all on your forumhome.

Sorry but i don't understand your post. What are you thanking for if you have not even downloaded it.

at the bottom, the sub forums. They are in a forum called "So Cal Off Roading Links"

If you mean the subforums of the Shop Links & Business Links, they are probably using a level3 forumbit, did you also edit that template?

Maybe he's thanking you for it, and planning on downloading/installing it at a later date.

Or maybe thanking you for longstanding service to the community

I confess, when a saw it was a 'Herwaarden' I thought, must be good! but I still can't find purpose on my forum for this hack...

Thanks, I saw you say the thing about editing the other templates, but didn't know that applied to what I was doing.

Marco van Herwaarden · #21 09-26-2007, 05:30 AM

So where you able to solve it by editing that level3 template?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
