Geek AutoLinker 4.02

[The Geek]

hi,

I installed the hack and it works great. Only one problem...after instalation, it changed the behaviour of my admin CP.

when I click on an option (on the left hand side), it opens on a new window as opposed to opening on the same page (on the right hand side).

How can I fix this?
eh? All of the links (i.e. vboptions) opens in a new window?
Double check your file edit to admincp/index.php
All that did was add a menu group.

There isnt anything there that could cause the links to open in a new windw. ?!?

[Yehuda]

that is what I thought...

But get this....not only does it open in a new window...but on the right hand side there is just nothing...is it blank...

On the admin CP all I see are the boxes with the links on the left...

I have no idea what is going on...any suggestions?

[Lionel]

Make sure there are no extra spaces at the end of the php ' ?>'

You got me.
It looks like you have totally lost your frameset.

Why dont you backup your current version and re-upload a fresh one.
If that works fine, then re-add the code and see what happens.
The change to admincp/index.php just simply couldnt have caused this.

Also - check to see if the phrases were built correctly. So a phrase search for GAL_ as the variable... edit it... then click save and see if that helps.

[T3MEDIA]

ah... gotcha. I used to do that. It works... but the trade off is that the following doesnt get picked up with a trailing space:
bobs
bob.
bob!
bob?
etc...

The leading space is the best 2nd option. Where that fails is:
Bob at the start of a paragraph
or .Bob at the start of a sentence with no space (or other mark like ").

So, it is a bit of a trade off. If you want less likely to screw up links... add the spaces (I would add only one space). However in over 2 years of using this... I have only had about 3 screwed up links. Saying that... it could be more for sponsored links. Take eBay for example. You can autolink all ebays, however any user linking to www.ebay.com (http://www.ebay.com/) would have their link broken.

Maybe an option is in order!

What do you guys think? Option to turn on leading space? Personally, I would opt out of training space becasue of punctuation issues.With this hack can I (I guess I will find out soon) do this:
Replace text: [joe, joey, friends, comedy tv] and all wil goto the same URL?

[T3MEDIA]

Odd did I miss it or not? Where are the directions to actually use this?

[The Geek]

Did you try the Readme?

As far as your previous question... it will do, however each word is a seperate entry.
You may also be interested in teh GAL3 that is in the beta forum. It has a lot more functionality as is about to go gold later today or tomorrow. I think its pretty much in its completed state.

I tried a long time ago and had a DB issue.

[Tom1234]

This is a case where using regular expressions would be useful such as a "replace text" field of:
(joe|joey|friends|comedy tv)

I haven't tried the above. I don't know if we can use regexps here.

[The Geek]

sure. It would be handy - however most users are not offay with regexps and I think it would complicate it more than it needs to be.
I can see the merit in almost an 'import' option where you can enter delimited keywords and then when you save - it creates an individual entry for each keyword based on the other settings. This is pretty much what the GAS interfeace does to some degree.

[The Geek]

GAL3.0 is out.
Check the readme for details on new functionality and upgrade instructions.

[Lionel]

is the function_gal good to go now? last time you told me not to upload it

[The Geek]

is the function_gal good to go now? last time you told me not to upload it
? hmmm dont remember that. Should be fine. Its the latest build.
Just do not overwrite with the one from GAS - thats older (in fact I am going to go remove it now)

[TTG]

Running the upgrade and last edit and it provides this message :-


"in clientscript/vbulletin_menu.js, replace: ???" .. Guess I must have missed something with the initial installation .. where does this go in vbulletin_menu.js

with:

function GAL_popup(e,value){
var leftpx = fetch_object_posleft(e);
var toppx = fetch_object_postop(e) + e.offsetHeight;
var dest=fetch_object("GALBox");
toppx=toppx-5;
dest.innerHTML=value;
dest.style.left = leftpx + "px";
dest.style.top = toppx + "px";
if ((window.document.body.clientWidth-dest.offsetWidth)<leftpx){
leftpx=window.document.body.clientWidth-dest.offsetWidth;
dest.style.left = leftpx + "px";
}
dest.style.visibility='visible';
}
function GAL_hidepopup(){
fetch_object("GALBox").style.visibility='hidden';
}
// ################################################## ###########################
// another function to handle the different event models of different browsers
// and prevent event bubbling in a lesser way

[The Geek]

oops ;)

Just replace

// ################################################## ###########################
// another function to handle the different event models of different browsers
// and prevent event bubbling in a lesser way


With the code it gave you.
Looks like I forgot to put that in... Ill go off and update the installer now.

*edit - just fixed it. Thanks

Hi TNG,

Two questions

1) I reported a bug with Gal 2 but never got a response in that thread so I will ask again here: in safe mode, certain punctuation before the leading space was causing links not to be made. Things like commas and periods for example would stop links:

. keyword would not link
text, keyword, keyword, keyword would not link

Has this issue been addressed?

2) Can you choose on a per-link basis whether the link will be a new window or the popup? I have some links that are board internal that should open in the same window while others (advertising-related) should open in new windows.

Regards,

Matt

Hi Matt.

Point 1- that is by design. In safe mode, the word MUST have a leading space. Otherwise it wont link for fear it will mess up a link. Danger mode will link them though.

Point 2- You can overwrite on a per item basis. However the prefered and easier method is to now create a category for those special links and override the global replacement with whatever you want (ie taking out the target='_BLANK' option)

Thanks but
in #1 all of those have leading spaces

.SPACEkeyword would not link
text,SPACEkeyword,SPACEkeyword,SPACEkeyword would not link

#2 - great!

[The Geek]

Sorry - missed those spaces (I guess I 'spaced' them off! )

Well... a couple of users have mentioned this and I have to say I only just first witnessed it while testing 3.0. Thats because I generally use danger mode.
FOr the life of me I couldnt figure out why it wasnt linking (mind you - its still very rare). The only thing I can think of is that the message itself (out of the DB) has some formatting during parsing which does not equate to a literal space. This would explain why it is consistent on the same message, but sows up elsewhere.
If that is the case - it could be taken into account in the regex. However like I said - I only first just witnessed it.

If anyone has some ideas - let me know.

Hate to find another problem .. my admin GAL items are now missing after the upgrade .. can someone post the edits for admincp/index.php .. thanks

Run the installer, choose the install path. THen click the manual install step. THat should bring it up

[Lionel]

I don't know what I am doing wrong. I ran the upgrade, had to do a couple adjustment manually, but now links are not working. Am I supposed to use what is in Gal folder instead of regular forum?

First time I used the auto installer... did not realized I had to copy files over

[venomx]

I am scared to upgrade.. I tried to upgrade the articles hack and it didnt work right. :(

[Lionel]

there is a tiny bug.

<a href='$link' target='_blank' class='DEF' title='$description'>$text</a>
should be

<a href='$link' target='_blank' class='DEF' title=$description>$text</a>

description without the quote.

because it looks like you had them defined somewhere else also, causing the link to show the title with double single quotes ''....'' instead of '....' like the other tags and therefore not displaying the title. Once I removed it in description, then it displayed the tag '....'

bad example:

<a href='http://www.ap.org/' target='_blank' class='DEF' title=''International News Agency''>Associated Press</a>

[TTG]

Using the code you provided for the popup ability :-

<div id="GALBox"
style="position: absolute; width: 200px; z-index: 100;
border: 1pt black solid; background: #FFFFCC;
visibility: hidden; padding: 10px;"
onmouseover="this.style.visibility='visible';"
onmouseout="this.style.visibility='hidden';">
</div>


how can I move the pop up to be a few pixels down from the link .. it covers the link at the moment.

Lionel - thanks for the heads up with the $description. Ill change the readme and the default in the hack.

TTG - its in the javascript. Open vbulletin_menu.js and its right at the top (in one of the functions you added).
Look for toppx=toppx-(number) and change number to whatever offset you want. You can use 0 however depending on the style of your link - it could cause intermitten problems. I would use toppx=toppx-1;

Great support .. all works well with the upgrade on 3.0.6

Thanks The Geek

ok. quick question. what version is this if I have the beta version. In other words how would I (if needed) upgrade to 3.

File changes are the same... Depends on which package you were running. If you have categroy options in the admincp then your file changes should be updated (may want to double check the file changes to vbulletin_menu.js

Aside from that - just overwrite your GAL files with the ones in the latest package.

Hope that made sense!

[fly]

Sweet. Gish didn't seem to work for me, other than the js file. Anything I can give/show to you to help improve it?

And I'm anxiously awaiting link timeouts after a certain period of time. THANKS MAN!

Upgradin is seriously difficult with GISH (or any file hacker) as it totally depends on how you put the previous code in. I got it to work in most upgrade situations - but in many it wont. This I dont see as a problem becuase 1- there are only 4 small minor file edits. 2 - Worse case scenario, you will have to manually do them yourself.

The good news is that once they have been auto-hacked... future upgrades are much easier.
Saying that - Im half tempted to do away with the auto hacking for smaller file changes as no one ever seems to read the README. For something like GAS its essential as there are many file edits. For this - its could go either way.

Enough of a rant :)

Just do the js fiel change manually. GISH errs on the side of caution and wont touch the file if it doesnt think its 100% safe to.

As far as timeouts - I am planning on an optional integration between GAB and GAL so that people can place adverts AND key words however this may be a few weeks away.

I would jsut overwrite the existing files and double check the file changes. Im pretty sure you are up to date with everything.

[JustAskJulie]

Are replacements case sensitive in safe mode?

[The Geek]

nope

[JustAskJulie]

nope

good.

I've installed it and it's working great. Just one more question. Is there a change I can make to that in safe mode it will require a space after but not before. IE. Currently in safe mode if I were to put

link here

it would not autolink it, but if i put link here (with space before and after) it will.

[Lionel]

I have a small problem. Three times I have chosen to live dangerously, three times the settings reverted themselves to safe mode.

[The Geek]

Ill look into it later today for you.

[wolfyman]

I downloaded, opened it up to /forum, and uploaded. It didn't ask to overwrite anything on a fresh install. When installing, everything claimed to be successful except step 200, which I edited manually with no problem.

I added a word/url combo in the admincp, but - no linkie! What did I miss?

[fly]

odd. I just checked mine too and it isn't working.

[fly]

I just rechecked all the edits and stuff. Was I supposed to totally remove the old version first?

[wolfyman]

I didn't have the old version.

[JustAskJulie]

good.

it would not autolink it, but if i put link here (with space before and after) it will.

Nevermind, I read back where this is addressed.

I also found that it won't link words if there is puntuations around them. I had tried to make a list of the words that I had added for my mods and they were listed separated by commas.... they wouldn't link. Drove me insane for about 20 minutes trying to figure out why it wasn't working. No big deal tho, as I don't expect the words and phrases to be things that people list.

[The Geek]

Remember that the changed files are in gish/gal

You shouldnt of had to remove the earlier version - just double check the file edits are up to date.

[fly]

Yeah, I had to do all the file edits myself (except for the .js file) and they are all there. Admincp stuff is all there too, but the links just don't show up...

[fly]

Whoa. I see my problem. I didn't actually submit the thread, only previewed it. I thought that worked on v2.0, but certainly doesn't on v3.0...

[JustAskJulie]

Just ran into what appears to be a slight bug. I had been running in safe mode with the Link replacement limit set to 0 - all was fine. I changed the link replacement to 2 and it breaks. Instead of autolinking at it should, it adds the description text into the body of the post and links it as well as the autolink word/phrase, resulting in (some cases) two or three lines of linked text.

Any ideas?

On the replacement limit itself, it would be nice if that could be done on a link by link basis rather than globally - certain links limited while others aren't.

[The Geek]

ill look into the limit bug when I can get my server back up and running (its currently down due to DNS woes).

As far as limiting per item - not really possible without overly slowing things down. THe replacements are done in one pre_replace call. Otherwise each link would have to be replaced in a loop. If you have 50 links in a thread showing 15 posts, thats 750 replacment calls instead of one!

Hope you dont hold it against me :)

[Shackbase]

i did the install - i set up a sample keyword - logitech - http://www.talkshack.com/showthread.php?t=8

ok - so I did not undertand (yes I DID read it) the manual - you need to copy the files that the script creates in the /gish/ directory.. sorry - that wasn't clear to me.

Wolfyman.. did you get that? it's a real neat way of doing things actually - kudos to The Geek...

Thanks,

[Shackbase]

I do have one question though... in your thread... http://www.thenailgeek.com/showthread.php?t=11011

doing a mouse over - there's a 2nd link in there.. how can I do that? let's say I want to add a <more> link instead or with the normal text link (in other words, add a more info link inside of the description like you have it); how would I do that?

--Tone

[wolfyman]

I end up with these files - /forum/gish/gal/3.00/.. I need to copy those into the main directory........ ooooooooooh

[j_86]

When clicking "save ordinal" on "display" in the adminco when there are no links/ordinals entered, you get this error;

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /admincp/GAL_admin.php on line 425

[The Geek]

Ill look into it today (along with the danger and limit bug) most likely later tonight. I just got my own server back up and running.

Shackbase: use the $url variable in your description to get a link to appear. You can also put HTML in the description when using popups - however DO NOT put any text in that could break a line (ie. <br /> or <p> tags). You can do physical line breaks - but all spaces are changed to &nbsp; otherwise your javascript will error.

[The Geek]

the problem was that the namespace server purged my records so everyone trying to resolve my domain name came up with nothing. Now its just a matter of waiting for all TTL's to expire :(

[wolfyman]

can someone explain what the ordinal is and what else I can do with the bottom field in GAL?
(Replacement code
$link = url
$description = link title
$text is the text replacement.)

[The Geek]

can someone explain what the ordinal is and what else I can do with the bottom field in GAL?
(Replacement code
$link = url
$description = link title
$text is the text replacement.)
ordinal is the order for replacment.

the lower the number, the more precedence it has.

So if you have 'my name is bob' and also 'bob' as replacments, you want the first to have a lower ordinal so it gets replaced first. Otherwise only the second will get matched.

$link=url
$description=description
$text=replacement text
$url=a rolled up version of $link and $text. Essentially, $url produces the following html:
<a href='$link' target='_BLANK'>$text</a>

So when using a popup, you can stick $url in the description and it will give you a link (this was mentioned a few posts back). You can also use html - but I would caution not to use anything that would give you a line break as it can break the variable sent to the popup javascript.

Technically, you could also use some posbit variables too.

Hope this isnt to confusing ;)

[wolfyman]

I'm with it now, thank you very much :D

[The Geek]

I cant replicate the limit bug you have mentioned. It seems to work fine at this end.
I cant replicate the settings not saving dangermode. It works as expected on a clean install.

I did find that putting $url in when you are not using the popup (in other words - using standard links) can cause extra HTML formatting to appear. It would be silly to put the $url variable just so it appears in a standard tooltip box anyway as it would be totally unusable.

I also found that in the replacement code - dont bother putting an apostraphe around the $description tag as one is done automatically within the construction of the variable.

[Quarterbore]

I just finished installing this on my board and it is a great mod!

I only had one problem with the install that you may want to evaluate...

In the install script there is line for "Modifying file: admincp/index.php"

In my install I got an error saying...


Can not complete change to admincp/index.php - step 200 as I can not find the text to replace. You will have to manually complete this step. [click here for manual step step 200]

I looked at the directions and it said to open admin/index.php and find

// *************************************************
if (can_administer('canadminstyles'))

and replace above with:

// === GAL step 200 ===
$printhr = true;
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['GAL_display'], 'GAL_admin.php');
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['GAL_add_new'], 'GAL_admin.php?do=add');
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['GAL_settings'], 'GAL_admin.php?do=settings');
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['GAL_cats'], 'GAL_admin.php?do=cats');
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['GAL_cat_add'], 'GAL_admin.php?do=addcat');
construct_nav_group($vbphrase['GAL_CP']);
// === /GAL step 200 ===

// *************************************************
if (can_administer('canadminstyles'))


In my file I had the following:

// *************************************************

$printhr = false;
if (can_administer('canadminstyles'))
{
$printhr = true;
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['style_manager'], 'template.php?do=modify', '<br />');
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['search_in_templates'], 'template.php?do=search', '<br />');
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['replacement_variable_manager'], 'replacement.php?do=modify', '<br />');
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['download_upload_styles'], 'template.php?do=files', '<br />');
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['find_updated_templates'], 'template.php?do=findupdates', '<br />');
construct_nav_group("$vbphrase[styles] &amp; $vbphrase[templates]", '<hr />');
}
// ***

So I updated my code by replacing the line:


// *************************************************

$printhr = false;
if (can_administer('canadminstyles'))


with


// *************************************************

$printhr = false;
// === GAL step 200 ===

As for my board... I am running vB 3.0.7. and the only other Mod I have installed is vBAdvanced. The replacement code seems to work however with one minor thing I would like changed if possible...

If your keyword is used as the title for a link such as "Click here for link on vBulletin" and you use vBulletin as a replacement term then what happens is "Click here for link on" goes to the initial link while "vBulletin" goes to a different link as defined by this mod.

Is there any way to have the mod detect that text should not be between a [url= some url ]Click here for link on vBulletin[ /url]?

EDIT: ALSO whay aren't the font colors working on this board (vBulletin.org)?

[The Geek]

It shouldnt do that in safe mode. Please let me know which mode you are running in.

[Quarterbore]

I am using safe mode.

You can see it at work here:

http://www.quarterbore.net/forums/showthread.php?t=19

In reply to below... not a major issue and I can live with it... I just need ro remember not to use my keyword in my description of the link anymore! As I find them, I will just reword them...

Thanks again for an excellent mod!

[The Geek]

It wont change anything except in a postbit.
As far as the [url=www.somesite]i like bob a lot[/bob] getting messed up... that is a limitation. Both safemode and danger mode will screw up that link.
The reason being that bob qualifies to get linked because there is a space in front of it.
There isnt really a way to determine (within reason) if bob is in middle of a link or not. All it can do is (in safe mode) determine that it isnt a link itself (ie www.bob.com). In order to determine if it is sitting in a url, you would have to come up with the mother of all regex that would find a match and scan backwards to ensure that there wasnt a < a href in front without a matching </a> after it. This would be a nightmare to make the regex and it would dramatically slow things down.

Sorry :(

Realy thanks..GEEK. Very cool hack.

I have major problem.
I can use English key words.
But I can not use Korean key words.
Korean key word can not link. Nothing appear.
Korean language is 2byte language.
How can I use Korean key word with GAL.

I don't quite understand what the "categories" are. Can someone please explain this?

[The Geek]

I don't quite understand what the "categories" are. Can someone please explain this?
The categories allow you to categorize the links for easier management (only used in admincp).

THeir real power lies in the ability to override the global replacement text.
So, you can have 2 categories, 1 that produces a standard link and 1 that produces popups.

At the end of the day - you dont really have to use them - but it CAN make things much more flexible.

[greenhybrid]

Popups? How? Also, what's the ordinal thing?

[The Geek]

Popups? How? Also, what's the ordinal thing?
ordinal is the order of replacement that takes place.
so ebay sucks should have a lower ordinal than ebay otherwise ebay sucks wont get linked as by the time ebay sucks comes around - the ebay has already been changed (if that makes sens ;) )

Instructions for the poppup replacment code is in the readme. Just put it in the replacement box of the global, category, or item replacment box.

HTH's

[venomx]

What I like about this is I own a ppc search site too so I can take the more popular search terms at my ppc search site and link to them on my forum.

[greenhybrid]

I can't seem to get the popups working:
http://www.greenhybrid.com/discuss/post10992.html

The necessary code is in the file. Also, I don't see how the categories override or determine the replacement for their links.

[|Jordan|]

How is this hack on performance? Does it slow down page loading, server resources, etc.?

[The Geek]

it doesnt look like the change to vbulletin_menu.js was made.

if there is no individual replacement code for an item - it then uses the category replacment code. If there is no category replacement, it then uses the global.

myis jordan - its pretty hot. There are no additional runtime queries. Obviously the more replacments you have th more work has to be done to each postbit - however I havent heard of anyone mention a performance problem yet.

or the target words kids, children could have the SAME url.
or the option to have the target word kids have multiple urls that rotate.
first instance goes to this URL
second on the page will go here.

that way if you have a page with the term kids all over it it will have differnt links.

this is a marketing dream.

Ahhh... I see.

To create 1 link for many keywords isnt THAT hard to do (guess I could look into it for future versions). However a keyword to many url relationship could prove difficult without moving the system to a table and building the links at runtime. It is dooable - and I doubt the overhead would be too much - however it isnt something I would do as a default (making the links at runtime) and not something I would look into right away.

Still - guess Ill keep it in the back of my head ;)

When entering HTML tags in the Description field for use in popups, it appears that the " (double quote) character cannot be used without corrupting the display of the primary autolink. When I used ' (single quote) instead of " (double quote) in the A HREF tags, it worked fine. This should be documented in the README.

[Tom1234]

Geek,

The Description field is a VARCHAR(255) which means it is limited to 255 characters. For my purposes when entering HTML tags and text, 255 isn't always enough. I suppose I could change it from VARCHAR(255) to TEXT to permit larger entries. Do you think this is OK to do? I think the main difference between them, other than performance, is that the TEXT data type does not strip trailing spaces, but VARCHAR does. Do you rely on that stripping at all for it to work properly? Do you envision any other problems?

[The Geek]

Tom - shouldnt be any problems. The text may have to be trimmed though. Ill look into the " problem. To me - that sounds like a minor bug

greenhybrid - you are getting js errors saying that the js functions are not there. Are you positive that you made the changes correctly to vbulletin_menu.js?

Orange - there are a few performance tweaks which makes it chug along a bit faster. Other than that and the categories - its it for the most part. If your happy with 2.6 - than no stress there. Saying that - you dont lose your existing entries. They only land in the 'unknown' category. The default replacement code is the standard one from 2.6. I guess what I am saying is that if you upgrade but dont do anything else with the settings - youll end up with exactly what you have now but slightly faster. Then as you add links - you can add them to new categories with popups or standard - or whatever.
Up to you ;) I am also believe in 'if it aint broke...'

KTBleeding - can you give me a few links with some examples so I can check it out?

[KTBleeding]

KTBleeding - can you give me a few links with some examples so I can check it out?It's working. I'm just slow. It's supposed to have not posted the auto link if the post just contained the one word, right? It works if I use the auto links in sentences.. I'm assuming that was done to prevent spammers of some sort?

Anyways, it's working.. thanks again Geek.

its to prevent breaking of url's. Only words with spaces before them can get linked in safe mode. Glad to hear its working though ;)

This is not really an important question but it bothers me. Why would Class DEF shows the link with the dotted lines sometimes and then sometimes not?

[Tom1234]

Geek,

Has GISH been released as it's own hack to help other hackers automate the file edits of their hacks?

[The Geek]

lionel - my guess would be a styles issue? Is the DEF class in all styles?

Visons1- To be honest - I havent looked into it. I would suspect it would be trivial and if you bug me in a couple days ill look into it for you.

Tom - I was working on it however vb3.1 will do most hack management/installations so there really isnt much reason to spend much more time on it.
Saying that - Im not too bothered if anyone uses it. Maybe ill stick it up for release for anyone that wants to use it in the iterim.

Back to your problem. Im not sure what you are trying to do. Are you saying that you do not want the title parameter to have any quotes around it at all?

[memobug]

Hi TNG,

I am not trying to do anything special at all other than get the titles to work right. I am not being clear, but I am trying to say that the TITLE description is not working at all. It is broken.

All I can tell you is this:

I put TEST in the description box.

In the alt text GALsurrounds that word text with two single quotes on each side. Not a pair of double quotes "TEST", not a pair of single quotes 'TEST' (either of those would work.) But what I get is TWO PAIR OF SINGLE QUOTES two on each side


<a href='http://...' target='_blank' class='DEF' title=''TEST''>psp</a> playing nes games.

That doesn't work. How can I explain this better?

It should just have a single set of quotes around it like this

<a href='http://...' target='_blank' class='DEF' title='TEST'>psp</a> playing nes games.

with four quote marks, if you have two words in the title, it really messes up the tag. I am trying to explain to you that it's broken but I don't know how to.

You have an extra quote in there.

do you have anything in the replacement code

[memobug]

do you have anything in the replacement code

No there is nothing there, but I put it in and it didn't make any difference.

<a href='http://www.pspfreaks.com' target='_SELF' class='DEF' title=' 'TESTING' '>

anyway the replacement text looks like this:
<a href='$link' target='_SELF' class='DEF' title='$description'>$text</a>

That gives me two sets of quotes around the description and breaks all the links unless I take it out like this

<a href='$link' target='_SELF' class='DEF' title=$description>$text</a>

Then it works fine, but I don't think that is what you'd intended!

The only other installation I have seen of 3.0 is the Green Hybrid guy, and the link he posted above http://www.greenhybrid.com/discuss/t1917-automatic-text-links---testing.html

Ok, I haven't read the whole thread so I'm not sure if that has been mentioned (or even if it currently implemented) but could you have this working on a per usergroup basis e.g. registered members and unregistered users see it, but those in a paid usergroup don't and therefore don't get the ads (because that is what I'll use it for). This would be even better if it could extend to a per category basis.

well the next is far sweeter. However its giving me a mental breakdown in the process.
Basically, the next version is far easier to cusomtize the categories. You can customise the style of the popup per category (ie a sponsor popup and an definition popup).
You will also have the option to track impressions and click thrus. The popups will also be able to expire.
This is all to build up and into the new GAB system.
On the way I made the regex a little smarter so it catches more instances safely and fixed some of the issues that have been brought up lately.

Its almost there.

[The Geek]

btw: what do you mena no coding media?

The popup js code has changed, a couple lines in functions_showthread have changed and there are a few more admincp options.
That means 3 file edits to do (which is all there ever was ;) ) as for the GAL files themselves - those have all changed :)

btw: what do you mena no coding media?

The popup js code has changed, a couple lines in functions_showthread have changed and there are a few more admincp options.
That means 3 file edits to do (which is all there ever was ;) ) as for the GAL files themselves - those have all changed :)
Eta Geek?

[The Geek]

Trying to get it done today. Most likely have the coding done today and it may take another day for installation.upgrade package.

Just have to see how the rest of the coding goes.

[T3MEDIA]

For some reason if you have a link on the edge of your articles the box becomes too big and you will never be able to actually click on anything.

Anyone else having this issue?

do you mean that the popup goes 'out of bounds'?

This has been improved for the next version but I cant say if its totally fixed yet.

New version is about done (and very sweet IMO) - now I ned to do the installer/upgrader :(
Man I cant wait till vb 3.1 comes out. Installers and upgraders chug.

[Tom1234]

Geek, can you have GAL make autolinks in the post title (not thread title) as well?

[libertate]

Ok, I installed this great hack. Thank you for making it.

Uhmmm... I do not understand the relationship between "Add new" and "Add category".

What is the difference between the two? I guess Category somehow relates to "new", since it can be picked in the edit, but...

And it doesn't seem to work. I have GAS installed, and I cannot see any of the changes in the articles.

I have a cagetory defined As
Description: ABC
Ordinal: 0
Replacement Code:
$link=http://www.somewhere.com/link/link/link
$description=Dr. ABC
$text=ABC

Then I added "new":

Replacement text : ABC
Link : http://www.somewhere.com/link/link/link
Ignore threadid (dont autolink this thread) 0
Description : Dr. ABC
Ordinal 0
Category name Dr. ABC
Replacement code :
$link=http://www.somewhere.com/link/link/link
$description=Dr. ABC
$text=ABC

Settings:
Safe mode
2
<a href='$link' target='_blank' class='DEF' title='$description'>$text</a>
---
What am I missing? Nowhere where there is ABC is replaced by the link...

[limey]

I just installed as well, like it alot.

Two suggestions:
add a "duplicate this linked word" button in the admin panel so you can change the certain words from WalMart to walmart without having to retype the whole thing.

Second:
Make the pop up code have hte option of including a "Click to visit link" link in the popup code.

Yeh or nah? :)

[The Geek]

liberate - check the readme for a good explination of the categories.
Essentially, you can define replacement code as item level, category level or global level.
For instance, if your item and category replacements are blank, but your global replacement is:
<a href='$link' target='_blank' class='DEF' title='$description'>$text</a>
then it will use that code.
$link is the url you specify, $description is the alt text and $text is the word that gets replaced.

LImey - the replace should be case insensitive anyway so it wouldnt make much sense (unless of course there is a bug where its not being case insensitive ;) )

Just wait till 4.0 - Its seriously sweet :)

[Shackbase]

whats the eta on 4.0 geek? :)

--Tone

[The Geek]

I always hate seeing this answer from other people... but here goes -
when its done ;)

blech.

Actually its not to far off now. Thought I would have finished the coding by early today but I rewrote it almost all virtually from scratch instead. The problem is I keep getting new ideas that require me to go back and rescrap loads of already written code. Couple that with regex hell (whoever invented it should go there - as brilliant as it is).
It a nutshell I am about 90% of the way done with the code and then I have to do an installer/upgrader.

For those that have not upgraded to 3.0 from 2.6 I would recommend it as I dont think ill include an upgrade from 2.6 to 4.0

I may get lucky and have it Sunday.

[venomx]

The Geek.

Under Settings theres a Replacement code
Under add new theres Replacement code
Under add new cat theres. Replacement code

How do these work? I thought putting it under Settings would auto fill in the other two when I go to add a new one but nope. If all 3 are filled it does this break anything? If we have it in the settings do we need to add the code when making a new unknown one? What if we have it in the cat and make a new link with that cat. do we need to add it to the link when we make it?

Sorry for so many questions, just wondering why its needed 3 times.. :P

[greenhybrid]

It seems there's a character limit on link text. Why? I can't use "real hybrid mileage database"

[The Geek]

hybrid - changed in 4.0 ;)

venom - this has changed in 4.0 as I think it was (and is) confusing to people.
Essentially if you had replacement code in the settings - you didnt ever have to put replacement code in any categories or individual items - it is a 'global' value. However you could 'override' the global by putting replacements in at the category level.
THe idea being that the global would be the default - but then you could have category override it.
FInally - you could also put replacement code at the individual item level which would override the category setting.

Anyway - as handy as it is - I think its confusing and overkill. In 4.0 Most settings are handled at the category level

[venomx]

I am glad we will have the option to track clicks or not because I just sold 5 links and he only bought them because it was a direct link to his site and not a redirect.. lol

Looks good!

Thank you, I get the concept now.

Unfortunatelly, I still do not having working. Not just that, I cannot see the links on your example page either (MMA thing)! I tried both Firefox, and IE still nothing.

Any more suggestions?

The global setting is the default link <a href='$link' target='_blank' class='DEF' onmouseover="GAL_popup(this,$description);" onmouseout="GAL_hidepopup();">$text</a>

[ChurchMedia]

I didn't see this problem mentioned, but when I edit a link it changes ALL my links to the same information. Then when I delete one it deletes all of them. What do you think is causing that?

hmmm. your settings look right. Try changing the limit value to 0 to see if that helps. If not - double check your functions_showthread.php edit.

Church - er. Got me. SOunds like a bug however I would have thought that would have come up by now!

----------------------------
progress

Right. I have finially finished coding an RC for 4.0 (I have literally spent about 10 hours on it today). I am just going to iron out a couple of minor issues and work on the extensability (so you can run ANY text through it i.e. PM's, portal text, etc...) Then I will write an installer and most likely release tomorrow.

nJoy ;)

[ChurchMedia]

Church - er. Got me. SOunds like a bug however I would have thought that would have come up by now!


I deleted the tables and re-ran the installer. It seems to be fine now. Just a weird thang...

Thanks for the cool hack!

[libertate]

I did the same and seems to work, except for the javascript piece. I get the following link. The description seems correct, except for the GAL_REMOVAL stuff, and that it does not show... Any thoughts?

<a href='http://www.working.com' target='_blank' class='DEF' onmouseover="GAL_popup(this,'Dr. Test\' New test <!--GAL_REMOVAL-->alpha <!--GAL_REMOVAL-->beta <!--GAL_REMOVAL-->gamma <!--GAL_REMOVAL-->delta, <!--GAL_REMOVAL-->Dr. <!--GAL_REMOVAL-->epsilon\' <!--GAL_REMOVAL-->New <!--GAL_REMOVAL-->test <!--GAL_REMOVAL-->package.');" onmouseout="GAL_hidepopup();">replaceme</a>

An other minor "bug" I found. If the message contains html anchor for a link, then the text within the anchor open and close still gets processed.

i.e.
Text to replace : TEST
with : <a href="http://www.otherexample.com">test</a>


Original text:

<a hre="http://www.example.com">this is a test big one!</a>

Resulting text after GAL

<a hre="http://www.example.com">this is a <a href="http://www.otherexample.com">test</a> big one!</a>


This is also the case when regular BBCode URL is used.

As for the ordinals - Great! It works perfectly. When there is a "collission" the ordinals take care of it. i.e. when I have "Bob" and "Bob Smith" whichever has the lower ordinal will be the one executed. Not just that, if the first ordinal is exhausted through the "Limit replacement" order, the next occurence is used... Awesome!

This is like an Amazon money machine!

[The Geek]

re: the js code - are you sure the change to vbulletin_menu.js has been made and that you have stuck the popup html in one of your templates (i.e. header)?
The gal removal is to prevent your description getting autolinked (which could screw it up big time).

There is no way to (sanely) discover if the text is already in a link. I minimise it as much as possible with safemode.

4.0 is much better at matching. Check out the source as well to make sure there is no formating around the words.

As far as two word phrases - just put it in as you would one word.

check your gish folder for the changed files as per the readme. Doesnt sound like you copied them over.

[fabrizio]

Thank you for your reply.

Actually I had to reinstall it because it was not able to update the index.php file in the admincp directory, so I had to do it myself.

I have only a problem: when I click on the "Edit" link on a record of my replacements in the Display list of Geek AutoLink Manager, the form is empty, no information is displayed about the listing... any idea?

Also the description is not displayed int he browser because the code is written in this way:

<A href='http://www.virtualsheetmusic.com/Downloads.html' class='DEF' title=''browse our entire catalog of instantly downloadable sheet music.''>our catalog</A>

I don't know why Geek adds two '' in the title attribute by making it unusable and the link actually wrong... I solved the problem by changing the replacement code as following (by removing the two ' in the title attribute):

<a href='$link' class='DEF' title=$description>$text</a>


Thank you again.

All the best,
Fabrizio.

danger mode is the only way and I wouldnt advise it. The problem is that safe mode links words with a preceeding space to prevent messing up URLs and HTML code. If there isnt a space (in the case <b>keyword is here</b>) then it wont link as there is no match.
4.0 is better at matching - but only marginal. It still wouldnt match the above example.
You could alter the regexp to make exceptions for certain preceeding markup - but only for a few and I dont think its worth it in the end (performance wise). To come up with a regex that would safely determine if the word was not in a URL, would be a freaking amazing task that would most likely slow your server to a crawl.

oops:

Now in 4.0 you can create popups, track impressions and click-thrus, get statistics on them and specify more attributes of the links. The popups can now also use bbcode to create virtually any kind of popup you could imagine. You can limit categories of links to certain forums and also enable specific usergroups to toggle GALs on or off (by category).

Box style is the table style/class, title style is the title td style or class and style is the text area style/class all depends on your settings. Its generally best to only use the box style if you can help it.

BTW: usually just clicking debug->rebuild sorts out most caching problems.

Geek can you give an example how to make the pop up with td style :)

[venomx]

Seems I have to use Box style hehe cause if I use just Style the popup is clear and you see whats under it. :)

If we use Box style what should Style be? none?

For Persist impressions thottle level is Settings I have 4. This mean I now rely on the cron job to run to show stats if linked listings show on the page more than 4 times?

One more question if you dont mind... How does it track clicks if you have it set to? NM I see it changes the link :)

[The Geek]

The td stuff is done behind the scenes. All you do is specify the class name or the style css for it to use.
The box style does HAVE to be set to something. Other than that - I would generally only bother setting the title (if the category had one).

Venom - yes, on results with less than you throttle - the cron will record the impressions. Pages with fewer than 4 would appear real time though.
If you set no for tracking clicks - it just links the..er... link ;) Otherwise it sends them to a redirect (once it records the click).
