Invalid Redirect URL Error on All Links

[Don Z.]

I am running Links Directory v3.2.0 with vBulletin 3.8.7 Patch Level 2. Recently I noticed that all links result in this vBulletin error (for example):

Invalid Redirect URL (http://www.melvinvillagemarina.com)

I installed the latest vBulletin 3.8.7 PL2 update a few weeks ago and that may have been when this problem started. I can't be sure.

Nothing has changed in my Links Directory installation in a long time so I'm thinking the 3.8.7 PL2 update broke it.

Can anyone suggest a way to fix this?

Thanks, that did fix it. It looks like the 3.8.7 PL2 update broke it. :-(

Yep, that does it. I don't know if it's the best option, but it worked.

Brian, will us 3.8.x users be getting a proper fix?

Thanks!

The same issue here.

Any help to offer without changing the code in the functions.php of vbulletin?

Thanks!

That's weird that vB decided to add a way around the redirect in the function for vB4, but not vB3 for some reason. Either way, this can be corrected by looking in the links/showlink.php file for this code:

PHP Code:

    $vbulletin->url = $vba_links->_link['linkurl'];
    eval(print_standard_redirect('adv_links_transferring', true, false, -1, true)); 


And replacing it with this:

PHP Code:

    exec_header_redirect($vba_links->_link['linkurl']);

Sorry this thread is a little old - but this fix was applied VB4.2 and solved the problem - thanks Brian.
