Try this now updated :

Wow... that was quick ...

Uninstalled standard version and imported custom version ...

I wasn't sure what to put as settings, so I left "enable userid at end" OFF and I put this in as the link:

http://www.xxxx.com/pp-classifieds/

I now get this as a link output when I view the link at the postbit_legacy display.

http://www.xxxx.com/pp-classifieds/-.html

So, I turned "enable userid at end" ON and I get this as a link output when I view the link at the postbit_legacy display.

http://www.xxxx.com/pp-classifieds/.$post[userid].-.html

It's close, so all I need now is to get the actual userid of the member from his postbit and plug it in front of the DASH ie: http://www.xxxx.com/pp-classifieds/userid-.html

Thanks for your help ... it is appreciated...

Regards,
Badger

Worked great ... thank you .... :up:

I turned "enable userid at end" ON and used this as the link.

http://www.xxxx.com/pp-classifieds/u

It put the member's postbit userid after the letter "u" and added the "-.html" just fine ....

Now when a member clicks on another member's link, it takes them to ALL classified ads that have been placed by that member.

I just sent you a PayPal donation with thanks ....

Badger

Edit: Is there a way to have it open a NEW page for the link instead of just using the existing page ? Maybe add an option?

Works great ... :up:

Might be a good option to add to the mod for folks, so they can decide what method (new or existing) type of page opening?

Thanks again ...
