Miscellaneous Hacks - eD2K Links Hack

This will let you add ed2k links to your site. The hack does require ONE manual edit to a PHP file, but no vBulletin code is altered, just some code added to the file. Please follow the instructions in the download carefully.

Check the images out below as to what it looks like once installed. The hack "counts file size", can add "multiple ed2k links" in one go. All ed2k links opened in the "same browser window" (no more blank browser windows left open) when clicking ed2k links posted on your board. It also shows the proper "ed2k file" link file name. I've also validated the code so it's W3C and CSS valid.




What are ed2k links?

eD2k links are downloads that are advertised in file sharing programs like eMule:www.emule.net.

To download the ed2k links, you "must" have an ed2k link client program installed like the above. What this hack does is it lets you search programs like eMule for files being shared over the ed2k network. Giving you the option to copy and paste the ed2k link on your forum. When clicked by a person visiting your board, who has an ed2k link client program installed like eMule. The link will be added to his download list in emule, it will also start the program automatically for him if he has it configured to take ed2k links while the program is not running.


Features & Notes:

[1] W3C & CSS Valid
[2] All templates are cached in the plug-in
[3] Only one PHP file edit is required, (No vBulletin code is changed)
[4] ed2k links can be added singly or multiply
[5] All ed2k links open in the same browser window (no more blank pages to close)
[6] File sizes are shown and calculated
[7] ed2k link names are displayed correctly
[8] Uses a box to contain all the ed2k links in neat
[9] Links also get displayed and work correctly in Printthread

Feature Plans
"CUSTOM TAG" feature planned, were all ed2k links posted will contain a custom tag of your choice. Like adding your site address for example to the ed2k file name. Which would mean your site would be advertised for free in every ed2k link added to eMule.

For Servers with older PHP suppport (PHP 4) you have to change operators in your includes/adminfunctions_options.php

Find this code located in row 362:

PHP Code:

$value += 0; 


and change it to

PHP Code:

$value >= 0; 


Without this change you will get an error message in ACP when changing the option "number of characters before wrapping text".

so is it just a private p2p for your forums? or does it connect to another p2p network?

The hack lets you add "ed2k links" to your board, that when clicked get added to emule or edonkey for download. Or any other ed2k link client program that can take the links.
