Replace Local Links With Title

Please note, this hack is NO LONGER SUPPORTED. I have built a new mod that accomplishes the same thing but the method is completely different. To avoid confusion, I just created a new mod. You can find the new mod here:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1322843

CHANGELOG:

1.01

Added support for threads with the newpost and lastpost attributes in the query string.

Made matches less greedy.

-----------------------------------

I wish I could come up with a better name for this plugin..

Basically what this does is if someone posts a link in a thread that links to a thread in your forum, it will replace the link text with the title of that thread.

For example:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=83252

Would automatically be displayed as:

Hacks should be released in ONE ZIP file please

This is for version 3.5.x and should work for future versions unless they move hooks around.

As far as support, I will reply to this thread when I can.

Installation is simple, go to your admin cp, click plugin system, click download/upload plugin and upload the attached plugin.

NOTE: The second xml file (vbulletin-plugins-anon.xml) is ONLY needed for the anonymizer hack. If you have that hack installed, then use the second file, otherwise, use the first. Only install the second file IF you use the anonymizer hack. It is either or, don't install both!

Also note if you have other plugins that alter links other than the anonymizer, such as mods that make your links look like html pages, or in anyway alters links entered into posts, then this will probably not work for you.

The only other thing you should do after that is CLICK INSTALL.

Because you are using another hack to make your pages look like html pages. It conflicts with the hack.

This will only parse links that look like so:

http://yourdomain.com/path/to/your/f...ead.php?t=3123

In otherwords, if you have another plugin that parses or in any other way alters links, this plugin will not work.

Most of the problems people seemed to be having was when using goto=lastpost or goto=newpost attributes in the query string, which the original hack would not parse.

Added support for these in the hack and speeded up the match routine to make them more greedy.

If you have version 1.0, just uninstall that plugin, and reinstall 1.01.

Put it on the boards this morning - thanks!

[Jafo232]

It should just be noted that if you have a hack that already alters links in some sort of way, this might not work for you (except anonymizer).

Is there a fix available for when there are 2 links in the same post? When that happens the following link gets it's title replaced too.
