Author: MarcoH64

vBulletin Version: 3.5.1

Warning: Version 1.02 might create double anonym links if you edit a post multiple times. Version 1.03 has been reported not to be working for some people. Please read posts in this thread if you plan on using this hack, until i had time to look into this.
v1.05 and higher should be the best versions
1.10 Is an updated version of 1.05.3 and is considered a stable release. Only version 1.10 will be supported now.

Description:
This Product will add a self configurable anonymising link to all external urls in posts.

Installation:
Install the XML-file as Product.

Version 1.05.1 uploaded, should fix your problems.

MarcoH64 for now all it's ok.
Thank's

[tokenyank]

installed and tested...

tried typing in local and remote links as well as adding them via editor menu.

All links seem to work except for

http://domain.com

For instance, my domain, http://www.mumsonline.net will parse through the anon service if I use http://mumsonline.net instead

This seems to work retroactivly as the old links I've checked so far are parsing through the anon service.

Quick edit and Advanced edit doesn't seem to duplicate the anon code


So far, so good! Clicking install again! Let's just hope it stays working!

Set your local links to .mumsonline.net (mind the leading dot). You can also specify multiple domains as local.

Added and still going through the anon... Will play with it more after the school run, but it doesn't appear to work with http://mumsonline.net/ type addresses

There's a little problem when using <a name=""> </a> tag.
Forex: i have

<a name="gstoned_ep">G-Stoned [EP] (1995)</a>

and link to it on the same post:

<a href="#gstoned_ep">G-Stoned [EP] (1995)</a>

the likn is parsed and i get: http://anonym.to/?#gstoned_ep. Could this be fixed?

And one more thing. Is there any possibility to disable anonymizing on ed2k:// links?

Use the new option to ignore certain protocols.
