Links in new window

[Kjell]

Getting posted links to open in a new window works with 3.0.4
These changes will make all url's created using the [url] bbcode to open in a new window and any plain text links after the change open in a new window. Any plain text links made before the second change will not open in a new window.

open styles/subsilver2/templates/bbcode.html

Find:

Code: Select all

    <!-- BEGIN url --><a href="{URL}" class="postlink">{DESCRIPTION}</a><!-- END url -->

Replace with:

Code: Select all

    <!-- BEGIN url --><a href="{URL}" class="postlink" target="_blank">{DESCRIPTION}</a><!-- END url -->

Open styles/prosilver/templates/bbcode.html
Find:

Code: Select all

<!-- BEGIN url --><a href="{URL}" class="postlink">{DESCRIPTION}</a><!-- END url -->

Replace with:

Code: Select all

<!-- BEGIN url --><a href="{URL}" class="postlink" target="_blank">{DESCRIPTION}</a><!-- END url -->

Open includes/functions_content.php

Find:

Code: Select all

      // matches a xxxx://aaaaa.bbb.cccc. ...
      $magic_url_match[] = '#(^|[\n\t (>.])(' . get_preg_expression('url_inline') . ')#ie';
      $magic_url_replace[] = "make_clickable_callback(MAGIC_URL_FULL, '\$1', '\$2', '', '$class')";


Replace With:

Code: Select all

   // matches a xxxx://aaaaa.bbb.cccc. ...
          $magic_url_match[] = '#(^|[\n\t (])(' . get_preg_expression('url_inline') . ')#ie';
          $magic_url_replace[] = "'\$1<!-- m --><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\$2\">' . ((strlen('\$2') > 55) ? substr(str_replace('&amp;', '&', '\$2'), 0, 39) . ' ... ' . substr(str_replace('&amp;', '&', '\$2'), -10) : '\$2') . '</a><!-- m -->'";


Find:

Code: Select all

      // matches a "www.xxxx.yyyy[/zzzz]" kinda lazy URL thing
      $magic_url_match[] = '#(^|[\n\t (>])(' . get_preg_expression('www_url_inline') . ')#ie';
      $magic_url_replace[] = "make_clickable_callback(MAGIC_URL_WWW, '\$1', '\$2', '', '$class')";


Replace With:

Code: Select all

    // matches a "www.xxxx.yyyy[/zzzz]" kinda lazy URL thing
          $magic_url_match[] = '#(^|[\n\t (])(' . get_preg_expression('www_url_inline') . ')#ie';
          $magic_url_replace[] = "'\$1<!-- w --><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://\$2\">' . ((strlen('\$2') > 55) ? substr(str_replace('&amp;', '&', '\$2'), 0, 39) . ' ... ' . substr(str_replace('&amp;', '&', '\$2'), -10) : '\$2') . '</a><!-- w -->'";

Thank you, this is a great tutorial! However, I think it would work better in the Tutorials and How-Tos forum.

Hi,

Is it possible to implement the following Active Link Referrer Blocker mod, which is originaly made for phpbb2 ?

Spoiler:

###############################################
## Hack Title: Active Link Referrer Blocker
## Hack Version: 1.0.0
## Author: Strigoi-Tepes
##
## Description: This hack will block the referrer when a link
## is clicked by going through anonymz.com first.
## When ever a link is posted on the BB, it will
## automatically add the anonymz.com address to the
## link. The whole process is invisible since it is
## added to the main phpbb link processing functions.
## When you edit your post, the link will appear the
## same way as you posted it.
##
## Compatibility: Tested on 2.0.22
##
## Installation Level: Easy
## Installation Time: ~1 minute
##
## Files To Edit: 1
## includes/bbcode.php
##
## Included Files: 0
##
## Author Notes: this hack was
## created back in 2002 then again in 2004.
## This version will work with 2.0.22 and earlier. I
## would like to give credit to the original author of the
## first script "Safeurl Hack" by reimer & "Active link referrer block" by wd2004. I would also like
## to give credit to anonymz.com for providing this great url protection service.
## i have simply hacked the hack to use a new url, i use it on several boards with heavily modded
## bbcode.php and have yet to have an issue.

Thanks very much,

Hi Patricia,

this is easy to do with the following great MOD: [BETA] Prime Links - Classify Locals & Target Externals

Just look at the first few lines of prime_links.php - there you will find an option for hiding the referer.

Wolfgang

WOW, Wolfgang, thanks for that, works like a charm.


Thanks for your help

Glad I could help you. I love this MOD, too.

(I see you have edited your post. So I think the mentioned problem doesn't occur anymore. I have tested it yet and primehalo's MOD also works with external links in quotes - regardless if they are posted with BBCode [url ] or as magic URLs.)

Hi Wolfgang,

Yes I edited the post, I saw that the magic URLs doesn´t work with the Quote tags, but that only affected older posts with the Quote tags. New posts with external links inside Quote tags works.

Thanks again,

I think that is because it is saved in the database as HTML to cut down load time. It'd make sense. I don't know how fixable this is, unless you edit all the posts and resubmit each of them, which takes time.
