Mini Mods - Same Window For Local Links

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!

Thanks, great mod!! Installed it

I rebuilded the post cach but I get the message that a popup was prevented to open in FF...

Or do I have to wait for a while?

Hmm... it's been a long time since anyone has said anything, but I'll be hopeful that someone can answer this..

I looked in the plugin code and it SEEMS to exclude "attachment.php" so that attachments still open in a new window, but it's still stripping "target="_blank"" from attachment links.

I highlighted the attachment.php code in red:

if ( FALSE !== strstr($vbulletin->options['bburl'], '://www.') ) {
    $locallinks_search = '#\<a href="' . str_replace('://www.', '(://www.|://)', $vbulletin->options['bburl']) . '/((?!attachment.php).*?)" target="_blank"\>#i'; 
    $locallinks_replace = '<a href="' . $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/$2">';

    $text = preg_replace($locallinks_search, $locallinks_replace, $text);
    $this->cached['text'] = preg_replace($locallinks_search, $locallinks_replace, $this->cached['text']);
} else {
    $locallinks_search = '#\<a href="' . $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/((?!attachment.php).*?)" target="_blank"\>#i'; 
    $locallinks_replace = '<a href="' . $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/$1">';

    $text = preg_replace($locallinks_search, $locallinks_replace, $text);
    $this->cached['text'] = preg_replace($locallinks_search, $locallinks_replace, $this->cached['text']);
}

So is this code excluding or including attachment.php? I'm not exactly fluent in regex.

This helped me! I didn't have www. but am using it in my urls Cheers!
