Hi, this is my first vB hack so please be patient

This allows you to use a board as a link (UB2k users know this feature). When you set a board as a link every user who joins the board will be redirected to this url

See it in action: http://foren.letzplay.de (german) the last boards are redirections.

This hack has been tested on vB 2.0.1 and vB 2.0.3 but other users have it running on 2.2.1, too.

Please post questions, inspirations and problems in this thread (not per email or pm). Thank you.

The access masks schould work correctly. If you don't have access to the board you will get the normal error message...

I will update the zip later, I'm sorry I didn't have time for this so long

This here is version 1.1a with the one bug fixed. I fixed it only half the last time

Additionally I have renamed the files so the names should be less confusing

what was changed from first zip?

GameCrash · #35 01-01-2002, 12:47 PM

What do you mean with "first script"? If you mean version 1.0 you can find the changelog in the first post of this thread. There are detailed update instructions in the zip file.

If version 1.1a is already running, you don't have to do anything - there was only the one bug fixed

Lionel · #36 01-01-2002, 01:34 PM

then sorry, the access mask is not working properly. When an unregistered user clicks on the link, it takes it there, although permission was restricted.

GameCrash · #37 01-01-2002, 01:56 PM

Try this: Remove the url and the target from the board. If the guests can see the board, it's a problem with your access masks. If not, it's a problem with my hack...

Lionel · #38 01-01-2002, 02:20 PM

well, the guest will be able to see the board. What I meant is for him when clicking on the link, if not registered, to be presented with login screen like other forums, instead of being taken to url.

GameCrash · #39 01-01-2002, 02:27 PM

I don't really understand you problem... If someone is allowed to view the one board he will be allowed to visit the link. If he is not allowed to view the one board he will get the login screen or the error message...

Lionel · #40 01-01-2002, 02:55 PM

then I am confused about that permission thing. If you go here and click on any center link, as a guest, you'll get the error message. If you go on forums, you will see all those categories but you will not be able to access them. That is what I was looking for with external link: you see it, but cannot access it.

GameCrash · #41 01-01-2002, 03:03 PM

Well... I can access every board as a guest but I can't access the "test external link"... so what's the problem? This is very confusing...
