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.

New version 1.1a fixed online

Just fixed that one bug in the install description. No need to upgrade if version 1.1a is already running

what do you mean you cannot access the test external link? when you click on it it takes to the url, in that case, the mome page that I setup as the url.

ok, I worked around it by hiding the external link forum and by adding a harcoded link to it on my home page. Now when someone clicks on that harcoded link to the external link, he gets the login screen if he is a guest. Once an authorized user logs in, the external link redirects properly.

I have one forum with many sub-forums. The main forum is an external link that displays a page with a summary of the sub-forums. The sub-forums are regular forums. Is there a way to have the number of hits the external link is having next to that main forum name and NOT at the end of the last subforum?

Hi GameCrash,

your hack works fine since quite a while on my forums.

Now I hacked in two template changes on the forumhome template, one is the "space between categories" (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...threadid=36832) and the other one is the "boards highlight on mouseover" mod (http://vbulletin.com/forum/showthrea...threadid=38735).

Both seem to brake your hack

- Now I have a line saying "Beitr?ge", "Themen" and "Letzter Beitrag" on the top of my links, which is a bit senseless.
Is there a way to change that by adding another template?
Something like forumhome_linkbit_xyz or so?

- Second if you click on a link forum like my link to the MCSEdirectory an extra window open (target=top), but the original link is loaded into the same window

Do you have any ideas on that?
I thought about some stuff, but it leads me nowhere...
Thanks,
-Tom

Sorry... but I don't really know what you mean... could you post a direct link and an exact description? Thanks.

GameCrash · #48 04-14-2002, 09:46 PM

Well... problem one is because of the space between categories hack - I'm sorry but it's not my hack and I don't know this very much but I don't think that could be canged so easily - this is added under each space and how should that hack know if there are only categories?

The second problem is because of the mouseover hack. That one addes a onClick to the <td> so if you click anywhere in the cell you are directed to the link in THIS window. If you click on the link, that one is opened in a new window because of the link and in the same window because of the cell onClick. You could simply remove the

Code:

onClick="window.location.href='forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]'">

from the linkbit templates, should work...
