Link Anonymizer and Censor 1.20

Author: MarcoH64

vBulletin Version: 3.6.x

Description:
This Product will add a self configurable anonymising link to all external urls in posts. Optionally it will also give you a Whitelist or Blacklist option for URL's. With this option you can censor URL's replacing those on the Blacklist (or not on the Whitelist) with a predefined text and/or link.

Installation:
Install the XML-file as Product.
Upload the contents of the 'upload' folder to your forumhome directory.

Configuration:
vBulletin Options->Link Anonymizer and Censor:

• Local Addresses

Local addresses are not anonymized. If you leave this option blank, the value for vBulletin Options Cookie Domain will be used. Do not use a http:// prefix.

If you start the name with a dot (.mydomain.com) all server addresses ending with this will be considered local. If you want to add mulitple domain/servernames, seperate them by a single space.

• Anonymizer (default: http://anonym.to/?)

Link to a anonymizer function. Use preceding / if needed. Other Usable Anonymizers:

Code:

http://anon.free.anonymizer.com/

• Allways anonymize Unparseble URLs
• Other options are explained in the vBulletin Options

Alternative local redirect script that can be used with this modification can be found at

Thanks for the great Mod.

After installing I ve creaded my own Redirector, I dont like
annonyme.to about several reasons.

please installe the noref.php in you forum root.

After installing Marcos Mod you can delete the annonyme.to and insert
http://yourdomain/yourForum/noref.php?url= as redirector.

I hope you like this.
