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 like the idea of this hack. Doesn't work for me on 3.6.4 unfortunately.

Really? Works fine for me here in 3.6.4: http://forums.finalgear.com/showthread.php?t=15146

Did you read the part about how it doesn't affect posts posted before you installed the product unless you rebuild the post cache?

Yep, searched this entire thread.

I rebuilt the post cache, and it does not work on new or old posts. It's too bad, cuz this would be great to have working on the forum.

Temporarily disable any other products/plugins that are installed and see if that fixes it.

Disabled everything, and it still is opening all local links in a new window. Even tried it in an unaltered, unedited, default vBulletin template.

Check your vB URL in your options page. This plugin uses it to determine if a link is local or not. For testing, make sure to use a URL that starts with EXACTLY that string.

In your ACP, do you have "www." or no?

Try this simpler version of my product and see if it works or not.

I have www.

Still not working on my forum. Uninstalled the original product, and installed this lite one, and still not working.

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