Miscellaneous Hacks - eD2K Links Hack

This will let you add ed2k links to your site. The hack does require ONE manual edit to a PHP file, but no vBulletin code is altered, just some code added to the file. Please follow the instructions in the download carefully.

Check the images out below as to what it looks like once installed. The hack "counts file size", can add "multiple ed2k links" in one go. All ed2k links opened in the "same browser window" (no more blank browser windows left open) when clicking ed2k links posted on your board. It also shows the proper "ed2k file" link file name. I've also validated the code so it's W3C and CSS valid.




What are ed2k links?

eD2k links are downloads that are advertised in file sharing programs like eMule:www.emule.net.

To download the ed2k links, you "must" have an ed2k link client program installed like the above. What this hack does is it lets you search programs like eMule for files being shared over the ed2k network. Giving you the option to copy and paste the ed2k link on your forum. When clicked by a person visiting your board, who has an ed2k link client program installed like eMule. The link will be added to his download list in emule, it will also start the program automatically for him if he has it configured to take ed2k links while the program is not running.


Features & Notes:

[1] W3C & CSS Valid
[2] All templates are cached in the plug-in
[3] Only one PHP file edit is required, (No vBulletin code is changed)
[4] ed2k links can be added singly or multiply
[5] All ed2k links open in the same browser window (no more blank pages to close)
[6] File sizes are shown and calculated
[7] ed2k link names are displayed correctly
[8] Uses a box to contain all the ed2k links in neat
[9] Links also get displayed and work correctly in Printthread

Feature Plans
"CUSTOM TAG" feature planned, were all ed2k links posted will contain a custom tag of your choice. Like adding your site address for example to the ed2k file name. Which would mean your site would be advertised for free in every ed2k link added to eMule.

PLEASE CLICK: INSTALL
if you use the hack.

Also trying to make it a complete plugin product but thats pretty hard (still have the edittor images to fix)

If interested I can release something later this week (if thats ok by MRGTB ofcourse because he started this mod)

Hello. Sorry to bump it.

The button will only be displayed if you have at least 1 custom bbcode with a image button specified. If you have no buttons for custom bbcodes, you can change this on editor_toolbar_on template.

find:

<if condition="$vBeditTemplate['extrabuttons'] != '' ">

replace with:

<if condition="$vBeditTemplate['extrabuttons'] != 'anything' ">

However, I couldn't sort the cache problem yet. Did you (or someone)?

It doesn't work proper. Trying viewing the Print Page using your script that you posted in another thread here (which I tested yesterday). It gives JavaScript errors if you click the buttons on that page to add links.

However, if that could be fixed to work OK. Yes, your script posted is better. Although yesterday I modified it a little to remove the Copy All Links which doesn't work in FireFox, instead making it a JavaScript button that leads to the eMule site to get the software need to use the ed2k links, killing two birds with one stone so to speak. I also made one other change to make it look better presentation wise.

You should also point out in that other thread, that you have to use the uncompressed version of the JS file that some code is added too. If you add that code to the compressed JS file the maths do not work.

What I did find out though, is by adding that code to the JS file itself, the ed2k links no longer vanish from threads reported in this thread previously. That fixes the issue of all ed2k links disappearing if you run the tool to update threads.
