Same Window For Local Links · **Released**: 11-06-2006

Another really simple plugin from me.

I wanted local links (i.e. ones to other parts of the forum) to not open in a new tab. So, I wrote a little modifier to make that happen and decided to share the code.

Tested on my forum, but let me know if you encounter any issues.

How it works:

It hooks in at the end of the BBCode parser, after the parser has transformed the BBCode into HTML. My plugin then removes the target="_blank" off of links that start with your forum base URL.

Upgrading from version 1.0.1 or 1.0.0:

Delete the plugin and then install the new product.

It doesn't seem to be working on old posts!

The output of the BBCode parser and such is cached by vB. Just rebuilt your post cache (it's under "Update Counters") and all will be good.

DON'T FORGET TO CLICK INSTALL!

CHANGELOG:

v1.0.3: if your base URL contains "www.", it's now optional and this plugin will affect both www.yoursite.com as well as yoursite.com
v1.0.2: cached versions of posts were still having their links open in new windows, this is now hopefully fixed
v1.0.1: attachment.php links now continue to open in a new window
v1.0.0: initial release

how this plugin know which links are local? Or this plugin use own bb-code? Also, can you do option like: not display local links for specific usergropus (for example: unregistering users) ?

If the linked url have your vbulletin['bburl'] in that url, so the plugin re-write the "a href" code to change the "target" of the link, and left the link intact.

Nice and simple plugin

This really need to be a standard vbulletin option (local links not use "_blank" target; local links open in the same window)

Finally, ... this works great just remember it does'nt take effect on posts before the installation unless you edit them. Sweet little plugin, thanks.

No, it does, just flush your post cache.

This modifies the output of the BBCode parser (after the BBCode is applied) but that output gets cached by vB.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
