[RC1] Prime Links - Classify Locals & Target Externals

[SlaySpawn]

Hello primehalo!

Thank you very much for this great mod. It works very well for me and my board, but I have a question for a specific function. Is there a possibility (maybe with additional code) to make external links visible, after the input of a captcha-code?

Thank you in advance!

I'm sure it's possible to do, but it's not something I really want to work on in my free time.

[SlaySpawn]

That's a real shame, but I can understand your decision and thanks for your quick reply.

Best regards,
SlaySpawn

hello there,
i have one very specific problem with your mod.
the domain i am hosting on the board is an umlaut domain, so it contains an ö or Ö, your mod doesn detect that the umlaut-links are local, even if i "whitelist" them.

i know phpbb3 doesnt support umlauts at alll so my special case also includes some special bbcode - so i can use umlaut domains
it usage looks like this: [link={TEXT}]{TEXT1}[/link]

the replacement is this:
<a href="{TEXT}" title="Klicke hier, um zum Beitrag, Thread oder Webseite {TEXT} zu gelangen!" target="_blank"><span style="color:#105289; text-decoration:underline">{TEXT1}</span></a>

if you can help it would be nice if not - well then i have to live with it i guess

EDIT:

Now it workes the problem was that it didnt recognize the subdomain correctly - wehn i put it seperately in the list its ok. site looks like this http://board.nörgler.de (not the real page just an example)

2) Hide urls from guest and display message with other urls

Code: Select all

    define('HIDE_LINKS_FROM_GUESTS', 'Link Hidden');    // Hide external links from guests? If this is a string, then the text of the link will be replaced with this string.          

My question was:
How to leave link's name and add additionally " - Please register or login to download file " (ex red color)?
[ url=www.example.com]LinksName[/url]
For guest:
LinksName - Please register or login to download file

My solution:
Find in prime_links.php:

Code: Select all

$new_link = '<span class="link_removed">' . $new_text . '</span>';

Change to:

Code: Select all

$new_link = '<span class="link_removed">' . $new_text . '</span><span style="color: #D31141; text-decoration: underline;"> - Please <a href="http://www.example.com/forum/ucp.php?mode=register">register</a> or <a href="http://www.example.com/forum/ucp.php?mode=login">login</a> to download file</span>';

how can i make this process work on old posts without the need to update each post individualy?

[primehalo]

Links are processed after the post is retrieved from the database and before the post is written out to the page, therefor it should work with all posts.

Hello,

Quick question, would it be possible to do it the reverse way, that is, process it before storing in the database?, and store differently the local and external links?

Why? Because what I would like to do is to store "local" links (internal to the forum) as "relative path", therefore isolating from potential changes of domain in the forum, and also, to be able to have "fully functional" local copy (backup/replica/test...) of an online forum.

Thanks in advance,

That's not possible with how it's currently set up. I'm sure it could be modified to do so, but that's not something I really want to spend my free time on.

[javiexin]

Fair enough, thanks a lot. If I do it myself, I will let you know just in case you would like to add it as an option.

Is there a way this could be modified to handle forums who have a type of "Link" (as opposed to Category or Forum)?

[primehalo]

There is an add-on in the contrib directory for this.

Hi,

FYI. I've just edited the prime_links.php to be able to add the EXTERNAL_LINK_PREFIX for User Website Links:

open prime_links.php

search for:

Code: Select all

				$external_rel = !EXTERNAL_LINK_REL ? '' : ' rel="' . EXTERNAL_LINK_REL . '"';

add after:

Code: Select all

				$external_prefix = !EXTERNAL_LINK_PREFIX ? '' : '' . EXTERNAL_LINK_PREFIX . '';

search for:

Code: Select all

					'EXTERNAL_LINK_ATTRIBUTES' => $external_target . $external_rel,

add after:

Code: Select all

					'EXTERNAL_LINK_PREFIX'	=> $external_prefix,

search for:

Code: Select all

						$external_target = '';
						$external_rel = '';

add after:

Code: Select all

						$external_prefix = '';

search for:

Code: Select all

						'EXTERNAL_LINK_ATTRIBUTES' => $external_target . $external_rel,

add after:

Code: Select all

						'EXTERNAL_LINK_PREFIX' => $external_prefix,

Now you are able to use the

Code: Select all

{EXTERNAL_LINK_PREFIX}

in your templates. Just use the installation guide install user website links.xml from the contrib folder but instead of adding

Code: Select all

{EXTERNAL_LINK_ATTRIBUTES}

to

Code: Select all

href="{memberrow.U_WWW}"

or

Code: Select all

href="{U_WWW}"

add the

Code: Select all

{EXTERNAL_LINK_PREFIX}

before

Code: Select all

{memberrow.U_WWW}"

and

Code: Select all

{U_WWW}"
