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.

Upgrades:
If you are running an older version and want to upgrade, simply do an overwrite install.

It is possible that there are still double links in the database from old versions. If you wish to remove these, run the following queries (make backup first!!):

SQL Query: (how to run queries)
update post set pagetext = replace(pagetext, "http://YOURANONIMIZERLINK/","");

If i remember correct, then this is only changed in the cached version of a post.

You can try to solve this by running the following query:

[sql]TRUNCATE postparsed;[/sql]

I’m sorry; I couldn’t exactly understand what I need to do.



Let me make this clear: This add-on is not installed right now. I removed it. But all of the links seems as it was shown in the sample and remains to be so. I tried to reinstall and terminate the process but I didn’t work either. Then I uninstalled entirely… the same result.



When I shut down the entire Plug-in system from the Vbulletin options, it works as a brand new Cadillac, but then the other add-ons don’t function. All of the posts including the older ones still keep “redirecting”.

Somebody help me?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

[Cithiz]

I see but I didn't understand, what I need to do. please tell me again more basicly. sorry..
