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!

I just remembered -- upgrade to 3.6.3. That page doesn't show the "Close Window" button anymore unless it really is a pop-up.

OK, thanks. If I see an issue after I upgrade I'll get back to you, but it sounds like it's sorted

Thanks.

Small update. Cached versions of posts were still having their links open in new windows, this is now hopefully fixed.

All is working well

Oh, I also moved it from a plugin to a product to make things easier. Best to remove the old plugin (it won't hurt, but it'll just execute more code otherwise).

I've installed this mo; do you think there's anyway to make it work http://mydomain.com the same way it currently works for http://www.mydomain.com?

Im not sure what this does that you can't do with BBcode?

Do this on your forum:

Code:

[url]http://yoursite.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123[/url]

If you click that link, it opens in a new window. This makes it open in the same window.

You cannot do that with vB fresh outta the box as far as I'm aware.

Updated. Should work fine now for this.

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