Features I need.

[conner_bw]

Hello.

I'm considering purchasing vBulletin, these are the features I am looking for:

1. I am looking for a way to forbid duplicate URL posting. If a URL exists, i'd like to warn the user and link to the thread that currently contains the link so they could "bump" it.

2. I'd like a way to reformat URLs so they would end up looking like "http://host/links.php?redirect=original.url/page.html". The reason I want to do this is to compile statistics from the links clicked. If this can already done then please explain.

Thank you for your time.

Neither of these are standard features, but would require modifying the code to have.

Try asking at vBulletin.org :)

Well you could censor the urls and the url links you could modify the source, it would be pretty simple to do that.

functions_bbcodeparse.php
if ($type == 'url')
{
// standard URL hyperlink
return "<a href=\"$rightlink\" target=\"_blank\">$text</a>";
}
