Still havent figured it out. can anyone help

I can get it to install. I have CHMODED the folder to 777 but I get a whole list of errors. I manually edited the files and still nothing. Should there not be a selection in the admin panel for this? If so its not there.

Nevermind. It did not do the edit. Thanxs for all the help.

Ok, I have ran into another prob. I got autolinker to work but when I go to install autobanner I get this.

Parse error: parse error in /home/virtual/site33/fst/var/www/html/vb/admincp/index.php on line 591

Can I not use both hacks?

Advertising and Banner system not AutoBanner. Sorry about that.

Are you talking about GAB or GAL? This is the thread for Geek Autolinker 3.0
The Gab thread is in the beta forum

The Geek,

I was messing around with a member who asked why some words had dotted underlines. I posted the following

word1 word2 word3 word4 word5 word6

Only word2 word4 word5 and word6 changed to a link.. when I posted Wonder why word1 and word3 didnt work. they did in that reply.

Ideas?

i have the same question

I just set up testing this and when I posted testing this was linked...

are you using 3.0 or 4.0?

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.

Cool hack, I just noticed that in the unistaller the you spelt "uninstall" as "uinstall" by accident I pressume. Anyway

/me Clicks Install

Excuse me guys,
I have just installed it and everything worked great, but now? How can I use it? How can I configure it? I cannot find any instructions or manual about it and I cannot find any link in my admin CP to Geek Autolinker... any suggestion?

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Fabrizio

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

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:

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):


Thank you again.

All the best,
Fabrizio.

Where do i go in my AdminCP to define a keyword and edit settings?

Under "Geek AutoLink Manager" click "Add new"

Yeah, it wasn't showing up but i fixed it.

I have just recently noticed that when you have formating such as bold, colour changes, etc. It will get rid of it a turn it in to just plain text (hyperlinked of course) Here is an Example from my fourm you will notice that the work "Runescape" is white and the rest is bold and red. Anyway of fixing this?

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.

Anyone know why 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?

What - its blank? A white page?

4.0 released.

Mod Version: 3.00 <-- Needs updated! hehe
thanks Geek!

AWESOME! Thank you - is there a list of new things or am I just missing it?

Thank you Geek!

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).

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: process_gal_text() in /home/forum/public_html/forums/includes/functions_showthread.php on line 956

did you do the file changes? ie. global.php? And did you copy it from gish/gal/4.00 ?

I had to do a few of them myself but the rest said they was done... :(
I edited the files in the gish/gal/4.00 for the ones missed then uploaded them all to the dir...

Seems the auto upgrade didnt change global.php It doesnt even meantion it or upload it to the gish dir.

I edited it now the forum shows but I get this error at the top of the page
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions_gal.php on line 117

Make sure you add the new styles and new replacements listed in the readme.

I did and some of the words were not being linked.. I tried making a new post with a word to be linked.. I got like 25 of these..

Warning: Empty regular expression in /includes/functions_gal.php on line 106

And a warning where the thread should be saying

Found the problem!!!
I had to edit every listing. The cached stuff had to be set that way. :(
I dont remember seeing that in the install file hehe :P

Also if you change the Style of any of the Catagories youll need to edit every listing under it to update them.

Under Catagories whats the difference between Box style and Style? They seem to be the same name...

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 :)

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 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).

So I can just pick Yellow Box Yello Box and Gray Title?

Will that cause a prob?

nope - should be fine

I continue to have the same problem...
Despite rolling everything back, and re-doing, then going through your steps (or at least I think I did those steps...)

Any other suggestions? I checked each file, copied them into the right place, added the styles to CSS, re-saved all the data, turned on the DB cache, ran debug/rebuild... :cry:

Same problem folks! Here it is:

and here is a sample of a thread showing the error:

Please, how to fix it? I need to do it as soon as possible! Thanks.

Fab.
