Hi -

Posting again because I'm still interested in this solution. Could you send me an email - <email removed by steve> ?

Thanks!

- Dieter

Email sent Dieter. And essentially for anyone else interested... I have a couple of issues with vbMT that I haven't taken the time to track down so I've refrained from publishing a half-assed solution that would just end up making people angry who didn't know how to troubleshoot it.

There's also the fact that I think the syntax should probably be reconsidered and some inefficiency based on the fact that this was really a quick hack.

I'm going to do a little cleanup today and just post the code as-is and call it an Alpha .

Maybe with a few people interested in it I can inspire myself to wrap it up and get it done.

The plugin is at: http://www.stevekallestad.com/wiki/VbMT_Download

There's a vBulletin side of the street too that I'll have to find soon. I'm pretty sure it's a simple vb plugin to highlight individual posts and pull them into the main page.

Line 189 of skvbmt2.pl reads:

my $urlholder = $mech->find_link( text => "LinkBack URL" );

Basically, it's looking for the URL of the thread that is posted. I have a link on my forum pages that reads "LinkBack URL". It won't work without a link to the page. You can change the text to whatever you want, but it has to be on the page. (or figure out how to get the redirect info out of www::mechanize which I wasn't able to do when I wrote this).

It's been ages since I worked on this, and the documentation is shoddy and there are bugs. So... download at your own risk. Hopefully a couple of early testers can push this into a ready state.
