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.

Same here... its on my password protected test forum...

You know, I was thinking, maybe that's why it's not working! My forum is private, and guests cannot see forums nor view threads.

Does this hack resolve the URL "externally" or something? That would explain why it only works on public forums.

[jj]

No, the URL is resolved by reading the vbulletin setting bburl. And it is working on a localhost installation also.

is there anywhere of making this work in signatures?

Also I'm getting the below error on some posts :

Warning: preg_replace(): Unknown modifier '/' in /includes/class_postbit.php(279) : eval()'d code on line 10

The only obvious thing that I can see is that there is a forum link and a external link in the same post nothing obvious apart from that?

Ok I've found that if I have the forum link and an external link on the same line then it causes this error (not sure it it works with 2 of the same)

[linksysinfo]

I have one problem with this. if i post 2 different links in the same post the title of each link are both the same title, even though the link in bb code is correct.

dont post two different links on the same forum or else you'll end up getting duped links. this seems to be broken.
