Geek Auto-Linker 4.5 LITE

[The Geek]

From the makers of O and yea comes the eagerly awaited LITE version of Geek Auto-Linker.

GAL is a revolution in dynamic schwizzelsisting for vBulletin 3.5x and dramatically improved from earlier versions to be faster and more efficient.

Package updated 05/12/05

Fixes ordinal (order) of replacements

What does it do?

GAL scans posts at run time and automatically hyperlinks pre defined key words of your own creation! Thats right... every time someone types in toe jam, GAL can automatically link it to any URL you can dream of.
In fact, GAL will link several variations on toe jam (or whatever keywords you happen to use).

GAL 4.5 has improved its matchmaking abilities and now matches words returned from searches (though only single key words with no spaces due to vB limitations) and formatted words too! (which it never could before).

There are no file changes, no template changes and currently 1 query (as there is no freaking way to cache the datastore yet). Anyhooo - thar she blows.

For those wanting to have the news module in their vbaCMPS module auto-link... here is a teeny tutorial on it (http://www.thevbgeek.com/showthread.php?t=161)

Click install if you indeed install or you may be mocked publicly for it.

Please note that this is a free LITE version of the PRO version. Therefore there is no hovering popups, stats, impression tracking, BBcode in descriptions, etc...

and where can we have this PRO version for a cost i can surely afford?
;)

[The Geek]

er - im really hesitant to even mention the url after the hooplah that kicked up when I posted the version for beta testing here. Lets just say you can find it in my signature, and the price is ridiculously low

(Hope I havent said too much!)

;)

I bought it off his site! So, he has my cash! ;) Installed it. I just upgraded to 3.5 rc3 from 3.0.7 but cannot figure out how to make the popups look my my old verions from 3.0.7

[The Geek]

drop me a PM or post in the troubleshooting forum over there and ill sort it out for you asap. The new versions much easier to do these things with.

[Andreas]

Nice.
I thought about buying the full Version earlier, so I can take this as a preview now :)

[nexialys]

(Hope I havent said too much!)not at all... your signature is quite efficient, even if you say nothing... lol... i was just asking, for the thought that someone else ask "when will it be released?"... ;)

oh, btw, cheers ! - good hack of the month coming!

[The Geek]

Would be cool - but am not holding my breath for HOTM. I only did this one because I know there are many that dont use the popups and could really benefit from this.

I hope I can make LITE versions of all my stuff - its just down to time ;)

In the phrases, there are differents variables for the same expressions :


<phrase name="GAL_link"><![CDATA[Link]]></phrase>
<phrase name="GAL_edit_link"><![CDATA[Link]]></phrase>
<phrase name="GAL_edit_ignore"><![CDATA[Ignore thread]]></phrase>
<phrase name="GAL_ignorethread"><![CDATA[Ignore thread]]></phrase>


Is this normal ?

Thanks for the lite version [i'm translating it into french] ;-)


[/code]

[The Geek]

Ill have to dig into it - but I think its because they are in different areas (though they could also be artifacts from an eariler version).

Thanks for the heads up.

[FleaBag]

Top work from The Geek! I too have upgraded to PRO, but also have to admit the LITE version's a must for everyone who's looking to inter-link content! :D

[cclaerhout]

As promised, here is the french translation. The xml file is a product to install. It will replace english phrases. Anybody who wants to improve the translation can do it ;)

In gal_admin.php some phrases are still hardcoded :
-l.201 : "Add new"
-l.510 : "Mantainence"

PS : I couldn't test all the translations because i'm only using the lite version, where as phrases seem to be for lite and pro versions.

Strange : with or without the CSS, linked words are not underlines.

[KW802]

TNG, nice! :)

After I convert my sites over to 3.5 you can be sure that I'll be stopping over for a few Pro licenses. :D

[TTG]

Just got the pro licence and I see the problem we had with the 3.0.x version is still there.
Offset not working .. any chance of getting this sorted ?

[The Geek]

Thanks fo rthe heads up (and the translation!).

I just updated the package to fix the problem with the readme CSS not working. Essentially just replace your files with those in the new package and debug->rebuild your GAL cache. No need to reinstall the xml.

TTG - Found the problem in the pro package and updated it over at thevbgeek.com

Thanks!

You probably hate me for saying this, but " yeah, because a lite version is a nice way to advertise your pro versions "

Don't get me wrong, I still like it that you (and everybody doing this) take the effort and time to make and support an alternative to commercial products.

I'll be curious to see how the lite version of this stacks up to the one that LiveWire is making here:

Some of us don't make anything or charge anything no matter how long we work on something. We just like giving back for what we learned and developed here for free. ;)

I am hoping what you did was a hobby and out of vB love, and giving back to the community and that we all appriciate. It is nothing personal against you - apologies if it sounded like that. It just feels weird to me that I see more and more 'lite' on this site, with indirect advertisement to 'full' or 'pro' on another site. There is even that SEO hack being developed where people get a buggy beta for free (to help test obviously) and the full version won't be free. It helps sales for that author to use vBorg to promote his full version by telling people they can get a free beta now.

I just feel it shuffs the vBorg into another dimension, more commercial, while it is a customer resource web site. Honestly, I didn't really know how to say it otherwise.

Your hack by the way is 'complete', it does not feel feature-less, it does what it says it does and the code works and can help a lot of sites including a few of my own.

Yes, you are right. I should not have taken that conversation into this thread. My apologies to the Geek.

[Neutral Singh]

Gr8 Product!! Installed with out an issue. ;) thanks for sharing...

[The Geek]

You guys quickly and easily forget that I produced many macks here for nothing - not even a 'dontate if you want' button. Why? Cause Its a hobby I love. I never 'owed' anything to the community - I didnt learn to code here as I have been doing that for almost 20 years. Sure, my php skills sharpened up a bit by working with it - however you guys need to get over the whole 'you owe it to the coimmunity for without us you couldnt have ever coded' thing. I have already spent hundreds and hundreds of hours on vB doing what I like to do: code for vB. Lets not forget that my work now is not 'show your age in postbits' or a small hook somewhere - all my work now spans THOUSANDS of lines of code per project.

I am now at a time in my life where if I can not justify (even at something stupid like .40p per hour) my habit of coding every single day. I have a (more than) full time job in the real world - and a wonderful family. I dont need money for the work I do - my real job keeps me pretty sweet. Heck, I'll more than likely donate any profit from coding anyway because I honestly dont need the small amount that it will ever generate. So why do it? There is a difference between charging something small and giving it away for free.

I fought doing anything commercial for the best part of a year - but with all the rewriting and code development (especially for vb3.5)- it was a choice of charging a pathetic amount for my work - or not to do the work at all. What would be better for the 'community'?

Anyway - I really resent that after all the work I have done here for the 'community' suddenly getting treated like a money sucker (oddly enough - only by the mods).

I didnt release this mod here to sucker people into using the pro version - this version is solid, complete and will satisfy a whole hell of a lot of users that dont need stats or hovering popups. I released this for the people that cant afford the PRO version nor want the features in the pro version.


I just feel it shuffs the vBorg into another dimension, more commercial, while it is a customer resource web site. Honestly, I didn't really know how to say it otherwise.


Look, while I respect what you are saying - your all or nothing attitude shoots vB in the foot and keeps enhancments for vB supplied and supported by hobbiests and locks professionals out. Which is better for vB's customers? (A duel approach IMO).

Personally, If I didnt start to charge something for the massive amount of work I am doing - then I wouldnt be able to provide more hacks and better hacks. In fact, developing for vB would have been tossed aside by now. Which would be worse - dropping all vB development or charging enough to pay for my site hosting?


Your hack by the way is 'complete', it does not feel feature-less, it does what it says it does and the code works and can help a lot of sites including a few of my own.


Thanks! Make sure you click the install button then! :)

Look, Im going on about this far more than I would have like to. However let me have this (hopefully) last word on the subject.

I code because its been a hobby of mine since I was 12. I did a long professional stint as a coder before moving into my current job which pays me very well. I started releasing work here because I got a buzz out of it. The work isnt 'what can I make a buck doing' but rather, 'what do I want to do with my site?'. My enhancments for vB are gargantuan - they are not little tweaks but massive projects with thousands of llines of code. I didnt rework them just to be commerical projects - I hand on heart do not anticipate doing much with the money from sales aside from maybe paying my hosting account. If I make more than that - its a bonus. Maybe ill donate it or something. Havent given it much thought as I am only charging for my work now because my time is worth a small investment from users.
I released this as a lite program not to 'tease' people into getting the pro version - but to have an offer for those that dont need the other features. Sure, it may help to sell a few more copies - but whoopee doo da. It will at least give a lot of users a free (kick ass) mack in the process.

The mods have got to stop sectioning out those who want to contribute but cant do it totally free. Doing so only hurts this site being:


a customer resource web site


And will only result in vB having little to no professional enhancements and a heck of a lot of hobby enhancements.

Anyway - sorry for bleating on. Im just really offended by how ive been treated after giving so much of my time for nothing to other users on this site.

I hope you guys understand.

Lets leave this thread for what little support will be needed for this extension (its built pretty solid).

[Andreas]

Software doesn't need to be commercial in order to be coded professional ... Apache, Firefox, Netfilter, PHP, ...

Just my 0,02 €

[The Geek]

Sorry if I implied that only professional coded = commercial. What I meant to say is that (commercial != Salem Witch Trial). :)

Commercial usually means that the product has a tendency to be more professional than hobby code however there are plenty of exceptions to the that rule on both sides.

[nexialys]

can we, please...

[bgray]

I love the lite hack Geek, Thanks!
It is exactly what I needed.

As a vb admin for over 3 years I must say that I like huge commercial hack options and realize that if it were free just pure economics of a persons time and the value of that time would mean that it probably wouldn't be offered at all.

I appreciate a huge kick ass commercial hack if it is what it promises. Just my opinion.

[KW802]

Has anybody installed the Lite version yet and then later upgraded to the Pro version? I'm in the midst of starting my sites migration and was wondering if anybody has gone from Lite (for testing) to Pro (after testing) yet....

[The Geek]

There shouldnt be any issues with upgrading from Lite to pro aside from the extra options your LITE GALs will get once you install the PRO version.

Why does the replacement text get replaced with the Title of the GAL? I just want the word to be the same, but underlined...

It should only link the actual word... not replace with the title.

[TygerTyger]

Brilliant, exactly what I was looking for to create Wikipedia-style links. And just to be helpful, here's how it's done.

Demo: http://www.forumwhatever.co.uk/showpost.php?p=1589&postcount=3

Nice and easy to do, instead of the provided CSS, use this:


/* Gallery Links */
a.gal:link {
padding:0 0 0 12px;
background:url(images/misc/exlink.gif) no-repeat 0;
}
a.gal:visited {
padding:0 0 0 12px;
background:url(images/misc/exlink.gif) no-repeat 0;
}
a.gal:hover {
padding:0 0 0 12px;
background:url(images/misc/exlinkon.gif) no-repeat 0;
}


And put appropriate link icons in the directory you want, linking to them in the CSS. You can forgo the hover part of the CSS if you don't want a hover effect, but you must keep visited or the image won't show up on visited links.

Well I just stole them from Wikipedia lol. But yeah, someone's bound to use them. Add them and the CSS in with the main zip if you like, whatever.

Hello,

Since christmas is near, i'll do a wish :)

But first: Great piece of work, installed it and I'm (almost) happy!

I read it is not possible to replace more than one word at a time. No chance to overcome this? And as far as I can see, "&" (as in "Bed&Breakfast") will not work, either.

Next issue: In the manual I read "Title: The name of the link (this is for descriptive purposes and for popup headers)". This is definitely not true for the lite version (at least the one running on my board). The text I enter here will replace the text found in the post.

Yours,
Sven

[BrandiDup]

I have not installed this yet (doing that this afternoon), but I just wanted to say this is such a fantastic mod! I'm going to start with lite just to test it out, then I'll probably upgrade to the pro. Thank you very much for sharing this with us!

[Code Monkey]

Does this add the links at post time?

Or does it add them at view time? (hopefully not)

[puertoblack2003]

installed great one, no proms on 3.5.1 :rolleyes:

[The Geek]

JumpD - at run time. If it did it at post time, then if you changed an option or added something new, you would have to rescrub the system :)

However - doing it at post time would have certainly been easier :)

However - doing it at post time would have certainly been easier :)

Or you could create a vb_code function to take care of it. Then just wrap the words in the vb_code and then any updates to the vb_code would take care of business. Then you would be using the existing vbulletin processes and not adding new ones.

[The Geek]

what do you mean by vb_code? I dont follow.

[Code Monkey]

what do you mean by vb_code? I dont follow.

vb_code (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/misc.php?do=bbcode)

[The Geek]

o, BBcode. Thats what I thought you meant. However to do it with BBcode require the poster to put the word in around bbcode (i.e. [autolink]). That defeats the objective as they could just as easily put the URL in themselves.

[Code Monkey]

You could have it put it in automatically at post time.

[The Geek]

You could have it put it in automatically at post time.

But then it isn't dynamic. All links would only take place from that point forward. If you edit a link or remove it, well, all your existing ones stay with the old version and are not removed.

I'm not sure what the problem is with having it be dynamic. If anything, its one of the key points to the system. For the average user, there is minimal impact on system performance. For mega heavy traffic sites with loads of entries - yes, there are performance implications, however those are not the norm.

[fly]

Any ideas on when you'll have a fix for this?

[The Geek]

http://upload.pzind.com/upload_files/011605/ignore.JPG

Should the link in the forum have a upper or lower case 'i'? I think it should have a lower case, but it has an upper case 'i'.

edit: In fact, the BEST way would be for it to be upper or lower based on what the user actually typed.

[The Geek]

It should be swapping it based on HOW they typed it in.

In other words, the following will be matched and displayed accordingly:
ignore Ignore IGNORE IgNoRe

Each one should appear eactly as they have typed it. Have you rebuilt your cache?

[The Geek]

In your gal CSS definitions

HTHs

[cellarius]

Sorry to bother you again - but I'm not quite sure whether my problem is due to a problem on my end or to the limitations of GAL. Can GAL Lite replace keywords that exist of more than one word? I.e., will GAL replace something like "Hotel City Guest House"?

If GAL Lite can do this, then there is a problem on my end. I'm running the actual release 4.5c on vb 3.5.1 and replacing of single-word-keywords works like a charm. What might be the problem? And: If the Lite-Version is not capable of handling muliple-word-keywords, is the pro-Version?

Hoping for an answer,

I upgraded and it seems to work. Try the debug, rebuild option (or whatever its called.)

My observation: With all due respect to TNG, it seems most of his time now is spent where it probably should be, fixing problems for paying customers. I'm sure he'll rectify any issues, but don't expect lightning fast support replys.

[IrPr]

is workin on 3.5.3 ?

[ba3698]

For some reasoN GAL doesn't replace anything. I've tried putting Idol and Test and neither are replaced?

Same with me. Any ideas on this one?

I've tried uninstalling and installing again, as well as doing the debug.

[IrPr]

same here

[The Geek]

I just tested it on a clean 3.5.3 installation and its fine. Make sure that your entry is 'active'. If you are still having problems, try debug->rebuild from your GAL admincp.

BTW:

I have just updated the package with a new gal/includes/gal_class_core.php file which is far more efficient. To upgrade, just replace your old onewith the one contained in the 4.51 package.

Hi,

although you pretty much seem to ignore my posts (at least I never get an answer) :tired: : I have the same problem. Worked with the reservations described in my previous posts; after I updated the gal/includes/gal_class_core.php nothing is replaced any more. No other changes made whatsoever.

I really like the concept of Autolinker and thought about upgrading to the full thing, but since it doesn't seem to work and I don't get any answers to my questions :disappointed:

The pro version is working pretty good without any bugs and etc...

:up:

[The Geek]

sorry, but I simply missed your question.

The answer is yes, it will replace multiple words, however there are certain limitations. If it doesnt appear to be working, double check the source code fro the words in question to see if there is formatting arounf any of the words which would make GAL pass it by. THe other thing to check is to ensure that it is active.

[Mikecp421]

installed, thanks

[Odysseus]

How will this hack affect server performance?
If each posting needs to be parsed and checked for GALs any time it is to be viewed, this must have an effect.
Or does it user the vB built in posting cache? If yes, how will newly added GALs be worked into posts which are already in the cache?

[Lizard King]

How will this hack affect server performance?

It nearly has no effects. I used Gal on shared hosting with average of 150 autolinks and i can easily say that it didn't effect my board at all.

[The Geek]

How long is a bit o string? ;)

I have seen sites with 1,000 GALs that the admin claims has little to no impact - however I would suspect that its not a heavily trafficked site.

The more traffic, the more gals, the more load. On light to medium traffic it most likely wont make a noticeable difference unless you add shed loads of entries.

tested again on 2 boards ! local and my website but still doesnt work
3 screenies included

help me plz :(

I have the same problem, no links. But I was looking at the screenshot IrPr provided (the far right one with the code). Shouldn't there be a: > around the last part of the: 'gal' title=' (after the link)?

The code is fine. Can you provide a URl and ensure that the items are active?

[bluecat]

Thanks for the quick response. Yes, it is active (set to yes) and I pm'd you with a url.

Thank you

[Mikecp421]

in the GAL manager in this box;

"Ignore threadid (dont autolink this thread)" what do I enter to have every occurence to be linked??

and
with regards to the ordinal, I know it means "The order of replacement. This is a very important setting as it determines which links will get replaced first. Links are on a first come first serve basis. The lower the ordinal, the more precedence the links have" but what numbner should I have in there if I want every occurence to be linked?

[Tulsa]

Suggestion needed. I've had this running for a bit now and working perfectly. Now I did the upgrade to 3.5.3 and can't say I noticed a whole lot to be honest but today when I expected this hack to take effect, it showed properly after I posted and the AJAX refresh took place but going back to the thread later, no linking was going on.

I redid the hack, uploading files and importing the product with the overwrite on, then did the rebuild. No difference. As soon as I post, it's fine, do a refresh on the screen and it goes away.

Thoughts?

When i edit a thread and add a known linked word it does not post as a linked word.

When i create a new thread with a linked word then thats fine it posts the linked word no problem!!

[The Geek]

If its not linked, then its for a reason (i.e. formatting code surrounding the word). The linking occurs when a post is viewed whether its a new thread, edited thread or regular post.

HTHs

Hi m8

Dont know if you took a look or not...
Anyway i have noticed another small issue..

The stats do not work, when i click on any stats fo any word there is only a blank page?

[Joshua5692]

The stats do not work, when i click on any stats fo any word there is only a blank page?

The stats are in the full version, are you using the LITE?

Anyway I have a similar issue but have not gone through it too much to try to figure out what it is. If I edit a post the auto-link no longer is there it becomes regularly formatted text. The other issue I have noticed is if the same keyword is located on the page more than once it will only load once. Not 100% of the time though, could that be cache related?

Not asking for any support, I understand how you feel about it. I am just looking for an opinion more or less. I actually agree with the developers on it, how can we reasonably be so pro-free for all mods when the software we are modifying is $200. If the commercial developer gave the options we were looking for (and at time demand) from the start the first 3 pages of this thread would be null. I have paid for proper hacks and will continue if the time and effort has the script worth the small contribution for the time involved.

By the way The Geek, I am considering ummm... your other options. I am curious if you know of the other thing (trying not to get you in trouble here) would support customizable tool tip options such as what can be found here (http://www.igotnotime.com/dynamic.php)?

[bashy]

I am using the full version, but upgraded from the lite version
hence im asking here as i think sommat during the upgrade
didnt go to plan lol

[styleforum]

I installed it on 3.5.3 and it "sometimes" works. When you first submit a post, it shows up with the links. When you refresh the page, they are gone. If you quick reply to the post with the missing links and quote it, they appear in the quote box. If you refresh it they are gone again. I have no idea what's going on here. Additionally I have one that persists and seems to work right, but around it in the same post are other words that should be links but are not.

They are all active (set to yes), I have tried setting the order to all zero and also to 0 1 2 3 4 5 to see if that would matter, I have rebuilt the post cache. What is going on here?

I know you're not supporting this "much", but I need something like this and I'm gonna end up paying for it apparently, because the Lite version doesn't work. If you can't explain to me why the Lite version doesn't work and the Pro version does, then why would I pay for the Pro version?

[The Geek]

can you provide a URL for a page where refreshing makes the links vanish?

With GAL there is an option to prevent words appearing linked more than once. Do you have this on or off?

Refreshing only matters after you post a reply. For example, if I quote one of the posts containing 'bluefly' the quoted text will show up with a link, but then if I refresh the page the link is gone. From then on, it is gone.

The setting was blank, but I set it to 0 and no change.

[bashy]

I had a problem with double linked words

Like....you have Bluefly and when you hover over Bluefly it says
Shaop at Bluefly, this does not help your cause me dont think
as its trying to auto link the word Bluefly in the autolink message.....

Change it and see what happens...

[The Geek]

Is this with a quick reply?

[The Geek]

just do me a favor and put a space before bluefly in your replys. Im not sure if I put special character considerations or post starting conditionals in the LITE version and I cant really open up the code right now. I suspect they are not coming up as positive because the LITE version MUST have a space before the word for it to be eligible.

[styleforum]

Check PM.

There is a test reply with a space and without now. It added a space when I typed .bluefly. -> . bluefly. (with link). Then after a refresh the link was gone again. My guess is if I quote that text it will show as a link once and then disappear again.

Thanks for your help.

[noonespecial]

Yah, this most certainly does not work on my board. 3.5.1 ... just FYI.

As it seems only the words in the first post get replaced.

Is there anyway to limit it to just one forum?

There is an option in the CP somewhere to make it only replace 1 per page or all, iirc.

As far as I can see it, there is just an option in settings where you can define the amount of replacements per post. There is nothing about replacements per page. :\

Even so I tried it with 0,1,10,99999. Nothing changed as far as it concerns the replacements in the following posts.

Edit:

It seems as if it is always correct replaced in the first post on each site. It's also in showpost.php correct.

I'm really confused... lol. I have the Pro version of this, and I've been trying to get those wikipedia images next to our links. I see the code that has been posted a few pages back, but where do I put that code in the software? In Styles, Replacements, Descriptions ??? So confused :-( lol...

It didn't work in my forum too. I think there is an include problem while page is loading.

When i ctrl+refresh the browser and send message with quick replay, it works

But when i quote a message and send same word it doesn't work.

[mawby]

Hi,

I seem to have the same problem reported by others. I have added the expression "Turbo Timer" into my system.

When I create a new thread with that expression in it gets turned into a link as expected. If I then create a new post using the Quick Reply (AJAX) option then that post too gets displayed correctly with the links in. If I use the tradional Post Reply option then when the thread is redisplayed only the expressions in the first post are changed into links. This applies to all posts, even those that previously worked after a Quick Reply. If, however, I link directly to a post (which isn't the first post) then the expressions get changed into links correctly.

Time for an example. Here (http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=68901) is a thread which has two posts, both containing the only expression I have at the moment. As can be seen only the first one gets expanded. However, if I link directly to the second post then it works for that second post, as here (http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showpost.php?p=839578&postcount=2).

In my settings I have "Limit replacements per post?" set to zero. I have tried using the Maintenance -> Debug -> Rebuild option and that doesn't fix it.

Any clues as to why this only seems to work on the first post being displayed?

Also, the option to "Ignore thread" doesn't work either.

Any help greatly appreciated. If it's of any relavance I'm running on PHP version 5.0.5.

[The Geek]

huh. Not 100% sure to be totaly honest. Ill try to get to it over the weekend if I can.

mawby. I havent had time to even test this change, nor am I sure it will even do what you're after. I just wanted to give it a shot before I head out of town so dont sue me if it doesnt work :)

In your geek/gal/includes/gal_class_core.php file, change the entire process_text function to this:


function process_text(&$text)
{


static $find;
static $replace;
static $cached;
static $settings;

if (!$cached)
{
$settings =& $this->settings;
$find =& $settings['data']['text'];
$replace=& $settings['data']['replacement'];
$find[] = "|<!--GAL-->|";
$replace[] = "";
$cached = 1;
}
if ($settings['limit'] < 1)
{
$settings['limit'] = -1;
}
if ($find)
{
$text = preg_replace($find, $replace, " " . $text, $settings['limit']);
}
return $text;
}


Now, I guess youre kind of SOL if you don't know what I mean there - all I can do is apologize in advance :)

Once again - I havent even tested the above to see if it works let alone fixes your problem.

Hope this helps anyway :)

[mawby]

OK I did a bit of experimenting and if I take out the caching bit then it works. I now have the following code...

function process_text(&$text)

It work well with other words. Could you tell me what's the problem?

And is there any other way to pay instead of Paypal ? I live in Vietnam so I can't use Paypal. I have my own Master Card and I can use Moneybookers.

I want to purchase the PRO version of GAL and GARS.

[akanevsky]

How much load on a client's computer does this create?

Note to The Geek; Before you accept money like this check to make sure you're protected against chargebacks by your bank or the purchaser could screw you. You'd be wise to accept only checks and certified money orders from countries such as this ;)

[phpnewbie]

I know that Bubble #5. That's why I recommend to use MoneyBookers. Because MB won't chargeback you, they verify the $$$ before let you use it to pay.

I know that Vietnam is "well-known" about fraud CC, but I use my own CC and I can send you my scanned CC or Passport if you want to verify.

I really want to buy the Pro version to use, but I cannot pay via Paypal.

About my question, can anyone help?


I tried to replace the word .NET or C# but it didn't work.

[Bubble #5]

Because MB won't chargeback you
Unfortunately you left out the part from their site that states:

We reserve, however, the right to withdraw this policy without notice for any particular merchant who we determine is not exercising due diligence or is operating in a way which results in higher than normal exposure.

What this means in English is that they CAN charge for a chargeback(s). All they have to do is say that the merchant should have known that (in your case) Vietnam was a very high risk and fraudulent country. There is only one way for a merchant to not worry about chargebacks, and that is to go directly through Mastercards or Visas high end merchant programs, and they cost roughly $1500.00 a year to use. Not a very approachable option for the small 'on-the-net' merchant.


I know that Vietnam is "well-known" about fraud CC, but I use my own CC and I can send you my scanned CC or Passport if you want to verify.
This doesn't verify anything, and there is no way that The Geek could verify that these articles were not stolen in the first place. Sorry, I know you don't want to hear that but those are just the facts. While I don't know The Geek personally I do know that he is a good man, and I'm just trying to watch his back so that he is not ripped off. Surly you can understand that :bunny: You might try something like sending him a certified money order from Western Union. Then the risk would be on you and not him. Best of luck :)

[tylercruz]

Hi The Geek,

I had the 4.5 LITE installed, and put in about 20 or so links, and it worked for a while then stopped. Probably something to do with 3.0.x and 3.5 when we upgraded, even though we upgraded to the new GAL.

Anyhow, I need this back up and running so bad so I just ordered the PRO version a few minutes ago, and even with an installation service. I look forward to you fixing it all up for me :)

Thanks,

Tyler

[arindra]

i dont know if this has been asked before , but is it easy to upgrade from the lite version to the pro ? i wanna test it out before buying ... ( just to let you know , i havent tried any of them yet )

Thank you ;)

Install

EDIT:

It is still not working on a second post onwards.

When opening a new thread it works on the 1st post but on the 2nd post after refreshing
it will not work and the link goes back to normal text :(

Is there any fix for this?
Thanks

Edit: Dont matter now I bought the full version ;)
Thanks

[Jetrome]

so i've installed it and it works great.

only one question. i'm using the Lite version on 3.5.4. if i put in more than one word in the Description section for one of the replacements, when the link is made and i hover over it, i see the <!--GAL--> in between each word. If i use one word in the description, it's not there.

is that simply the way this is coded? is this different from the Pro version? just wanted to know if it is or not.

thanks for this hack.

[nasko]

Hello.

I`ve installed this add-on but it does not work ok for me. When I post it replace the word, but when I refresh the page nothing happend. The word is not replaced.
And it does not replace all words in all posts. With every refresh the replaced word is diffenrend (the post i mean) and in most of the cases it is not replaced.
What to do?

[Bubble #5]

Dont matter now I bought the full version
Probably why this version is not supported or has been updated to work with 3.6, however I know of at least two instances where that reasoning has backfired on the author because they wanted to test the hack before they bought it. When they saw that it did work (see all the posts here about second posts/refreshing?) they decided not to buy it. That's a shame because this was, at one time, a nice little hack :(

[The Geek]

Hey Bubble, it still is a nice hack. There looks like there is a bug with repeating posts, however if memory serves, there is a fix in the thread.

Please remember that this is totally unsupported and only meant to give people an option that may fill their needs instead of paying for a pro version.

Thanks!

You can also set the following to 0

Ah, I see that it does in fact work but if I do a search for the keyword and select a post that contains that keyword it's not linked. If I view any post but not via a search, it's linked.

Is this normal? I guess the search results override the keyword result as it currently highlights it in bold and red.

We have just started using AutoLinker on our site prior to converting to v.4 vB. Our site is huge and we need this kind of system very badly. In fact we couldn't consider moving up to v.4 of vBulletin without it.
Seems to do a lot more than GALs as well.
You can see our auto-links if you visit us at consumeractiongroup.co.uk

Looks like all vbgeek scripts development is dead, they don't respond to threads here or on their own site anymore.

Yes, I posted some messages on the Geek site recently but got no reply.

The new AutoLinker is here on vb.org - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=239167

Despite a few install problems, it is working brilliantly well.

The AutoLinker developer was very helpful and got us through all of our install problems very quickly

I recently uninstalled this mod and now I'm getting mysql errors.

I'm afraid the delete the files that were originally uploaded until I have a handle on what's causing the errors.

can anyone help?

You need to delete the files, thats whats causing the DB errors, cause the autolink.php was accessed but it couldnt find the tables is the DB hence the error
