[SOLVED] Cannot disable outgoing links

[echo4224]

When your pligg site contains original content, and does not depend on stories from the net, the story's title should not link to a website.

Disabling it from the control panel still causes the title to link to 'http:/' and the browser would seem to be loading indefinitely..

I fixed me problem, hacked the code so it would reload the story when the title is clicked. i just wanted to mention it here.

Can you share how did you do it?

Thanks

Was this hack ever captured or documented ? It sounds like a good fit for a problem I am encountering.

Hello Everyone,

My apologies for the late reply!! I don't check the forum often. Here is what I did, it's very "dirty" :

- From the web based admin menu, i turn outgoing links ON.
- in the file /lib/html1.php I replaced two references of out.php to story.php.

If ($x == "out") {return my_pligg_base."/story.php?id=" . $var1;}
If ($x == "outtitle") {return my_pligg_base."/story.php?title=" . $var1;}

And that's it.

Another solution is to just delete the original out.php, and save a copy of story.php with that name to replace it. I think that would work too (with outgoing links ON from the admin menu)


I DO NOT recommend these solutions, it's a very dirty hack, I wouldn't be surprised if stuff starts to blow up in your face. I am very inexperienced in PHP, and was too lazy to follow the real root of the problem.

Actually, I think they were three references, not two ! ..

in html1.php .. do a search and replace out.php with story.php everywhere.

Thanks echo! I replaced out.php with story.php and that seems to have done the trick.
