MyBB Community Forums

Hey everyone, another plugin I made for a private paid request, and the buyer stopped replying...so I've decided to release it here free!



Features:

• Replaces the links in every thread and post on your forum with a link to your SafeLink page instead (unless the URL for that link is on the excluded list), basically a link on your forum goes from www.google.com to www.yoursite.com/safelink.php?link=google.com.
  
• Supports excluding URLs to be filtered (ie: links to your own site and any custom links you define won't be filtered)
  
• Supports forum and usergroup exclusion (new with 1.1!)
  
• Compatible with Spoiler BBCode!

Legacy Download (1.6.*): http://mods.mybb.com/view/mybb-safelink

Any suggestions/problems/bugs just post in here and I'll answer ASAP!
If you like it feel free to +rep me!

Nice, thanks for sharing.

This would come in handy for communities that have issues with users posting malicious links as if you accidentally clicked on one, you wouldn't go to it right away as well as those that deal with the younger crowd and serve as a good disclaimer for the content found elsewhere.

Very nice plugin Fizz. I'd be prolly using this over Ubers as many people tries to post infected links. I was thinking on coding something similar for it but you did it, thank you.

I have a questions..
does this change the URLs in posts only? Or does it change url anywhere in foum? Like URLs in advertisements? google ads? signatures? etc etc

Indeed, that was my intended purpose - mostly for younger users or people who had trouble with fishy links and such.

Yes it will change only links in threads/posts, not links on pages, profiles, signatures, etc.

Wow this is a very nice plugin. You should try to make this redirect page appear on signatures and profile pages as well, since most spambots just LOVE to put the bad links on there as well.
But very nice job doing this, thanks

Maybe adding groups and forums support?

Yes, I always ask for this features in any plugin I use

Thanks!!

Have thought about that, might add group support later today or this week. Though, what reasons would you have for wanting that? And what do you mean by 'forums support'?

Because that way we can disable links being 'bored' or anything for trusted members or forums that doesn't make much sense to 'apply extra protection to links' to.

Fair enough, I'll add that in sometime later tonight, or at least over the weekend, good suggestion!
