Magnet link support

[Black_Widow]

Hello,
Vbulletin 3 supports Edonkey 2000 link but not magnet link.
Let's see an example.
If I post a magnet link using the tag URL

Magnet link

As you can see VB3 add an 'http' in front of magnet url...so magnet link isn't good for most gnutella 2 client like shareaza.

If I add an ed2k link

ed2k link

Vb3 don't add 'http' in front of ed2k url.

What have i to do to make VB3 compatible with Magnet link?

Thanks

It's because of the //, if you find this code in includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php

	if ($type == 'url' AND !preg_match('#^[a-z0-9]+://#si', $rightlink))
	{
		$rightlink = "http://$rightlink";
	}

And change it to:

	if ($type == 'url' AND !preg_match('#^[a-z0-9]+:/(/)?#si', $rightlink))
	{
		$rightlink = "http://$rightlink";
	}

It should work

Thankx Zero but it seems not to work :-( . VB still adds an http in fron of magne tlink
I've also seen that many forum use a Magnet vb code but I don't know how to create it

Magnet links do not have any slashes (/) after the colon at all,
(magnet:?xs=http://Peer-Weed.Com:6346/uri-res/N2R?urn:sha1:JYZKYE7X6ROSA25EHPC5XYIDZL4JIMJD)
so would this work?

PHP Code:

    if ($type == 'url' AND !preg_match('#^[a-z0-9]+:#si', $rightlink))
    {
        $rightlink = "http://$rightlink"; 
    }

Use BB Code - create a new tag...

For the code use

PHP Code:

<a href="{param}"><strong>{param}</strong></a> 


or if you have an uploaded image,

PHP Code:

<img src="http://yoursite.com/magnet.gif"><a href="{param}"><strong> {param}</strong></a>

That's what I use to add a new BBCode with a button that adds a little emule image before the link. But the problem is. When you add an ed2k link code most of them don't work and get detected as invalid links. It seems to be a problem because when you have some code together in the link like this example: "ed2k://|file|Quake.4-DEViANCE.ShadowCast.OSiOLEK.iso|2924218368|C21D06862DB14B0623D2A109AEC5D5FD|/".

There are times when vBulletin detects a group of numbers or letters etc as being a security risk and inserts spaces. For instantance in that code I posted above it doesnt like "686" being together, so it inserts a space after "68" to it looks like this. "68 6" which then makes it an inavlid link.

Making the link look like this now:
ed2k://|file|Quake.4-DEViANCE.ShadowCast.OSiOLEK.iso|2924218368|C21D068 62DB14B0623D2A109AEC5D5FD|/

If there was a work around to stop vBulletin from doing that. All ed2k links would work using the add a new BBCode option
