Only External Links Open in New Windows

This hack modifies the [url] tag such that links that point outside of your forums' URL open in new windows. Links that point to anything in your domain open in the same window.

They don't; by default all [url] links open in new windows, regardless of the URL.

Nice, but when you have a shoutbox/vbchat on the index it opens links in the chat and not as a new page.

That's because it's an iframe...

Your code is wrong in the instructions file.

This:

return "<a href=\"$righturl\" target=\"blank\">".str_replace('\"', '"', $hyperlink)."</a>";

should be this:

return "<a href=\"$righturl\" target=\"_blank\">".str_replace('\"', '"', $hyperlink)."</a>";

You missed the underscore.

Gah, fixed

Do you know if this hack will also work with VbPortal? Do you know if I need to change anything else in VbPortal or just this hack in VBulletin? Any help on this would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks.

Best regards,

If vBPortal uses vB's code parsing functions then it will work.
