Add-On Releases - Link Anonymizer and Censor

Link Anonymizer and Censor 1.20

Author: MarcoH64

vBulletin Version: 3.6.x

Description:
This Product will add a self configurable anonymising link to all external urls in posts. Optionally it will also give you a Whitelist or Blacklist option for URL's. With this option you can censor URL's replacing those on the Blacklist (or not on the Whitelist) with a predefined text and/or link.

Installation:
Install the XML-file as Product.
Upload the contents of the 'upload' folder to your forumhome directory.

Configuration:
vBulletin Options->Link Anonymizer and Censor:

• 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
• Other options are explained in the vBulletin Options

Alternative local redirect script that can be used with this modification can be found at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....3&postcount=64

Please click install if you are using this hack.

Well thank you VERY much for that info. Apparently I accidentially had html tuned on in that certain forum where this issue occurred. Cheers. I use my own private.php page for cloaking.

Thank you so much..

It is not working fine with 3.7.2 PL1.
It fails to recognise local domain.

I hope you can come up with an upgrade for such usefull mod.

yeah im using that one myself on 3.7 but thought i'd give this one a go because it lets you easily edit the anonym service link but unfortunately this doesn't work with 3.7.

I would love an update for this if you have time

Well, I tried both and this is definitely a better mod. The mod you mention has trouble anonymizing some URLs.

[stanleys]

Bug Found and Fixed:

If you are having trouble with some URLs not passing GET parameters, you need to encode the string.

Open functions_mh_anolink.php and find the line that says:
$anonymurl = $vbulletin->options['mh_anolink_anonymizer'] . $serverurl;

Change it to:
$anonymurl = $vbulletin->options['mh_anolink_anonymizer'] . rawurlencode($serverurl);

Make sure to rawurldecode() the URL in your redirect script.

I was having problems with signatures links not being anonymized. The problem stemmed from a conflict with vBSEO.
The solution was to set this plugin to a lower execution order than vBSEO.

Hope this helps someone.

this works with 3.8.1. anyway to make this work with cyb's chatbox ?

[BobbyBig]

i thought the white/blacklist is for telling the script which url's to use the anonym service and which url's not to touch. to bad i was wrong...
