Word Links FREE 2.0 Released!

Happy to announce the release of Word Links Free 2.0-
I have improved the efficiency of the code by putting the main function into one external php file.

I have added a new option to disable in specific styles.

I have made usergroup and forum selections easier (now point and click, no need to look up id numbers.)

I have added unique phrases for the auto-link notices to differentiate between posts and messages.

I have also released a new GOLD version which works in even more places. See the first/top thread for details.

If you're happy with the older 1.6 version and don't need the new features feel free to continue using it- I wouldn't expect any functional difference.

But if you do upgrade be aware there is now a php file that needs to be uploaded to your /includes/ directory and you should re-check your options/settings as some have changed.

Enjoy. :D

If it works, it works. :up:

Hi
If I upgrade to the new version will I have to enter all my words and web sites they are linked to again?

Also how much is the Gold version?

No you will not have to re-enter your sites if you upgrade. Don't uninstall the mod, just follow the upgrade instructions and it will be fine.

I can't talk price here on vBulletin.org but you can view the forum at Qapla.com and see the price.

Hi
I have the Gold version now installed.
Great support. Very pleased.
For anyone not using the Gold version the price is very reasonable!

And it has just been updated to show in the CMS Previews a few hours after I mentioned it.

Very impressive.

Is there any known conflict between this mod and [DBTech] Advanced @User Tagging v2 (vB4)? We'd intended to use the Word Links added to make automatic links to our Bulbapedia wiki, mostly for character & Pok?mon names. But at the same time, we've also got a lot of forum users who've incorporated those character & Pok?mon names into their forum usernames. Seems like both addons would be going for the same words quite frequently, and I'm not sure how they'd handle that conflict.

This mod should ignore any text in a link and if it doesn't it can probably be quickly fixed by editing the "custom regex" setting on the mod.

I know of no known conflicts, but if you find one simply disabling the mod will undo any changes- no changes are made to the database.

If that's how the addon works, then I'm guessing the problems we're having are likely to not be a conflict, but something to do with that other mod and vB4.1.11 then. That's a bit of a relief.

If you can give me a link to a post with the advanced user tagging mod in use I can check for sure.
