with the CSS. Actually, I think the CSS attribute is not font: but font-size:

global - yours looks like its missing the box style... double check and rebuild.

BTW: the overflow will really only work with some HTML elements... these are integrated into TD tags which overflow doesnt affect (I think).

Yes, the font attribute is font-size:

You can restrict your box size with a simple CSS tag: width:200px;

Geek is right about the overflow. only good on DIV and TD tags.


Geek: not sure what you mean about my box style missing. all looks well @ my end to me.

Looks good in FF but not in IE. I think you have added some HTML thats throwing IE out.
The width can also be set in the category (theres a box for width). Just put in 200

HTH's (btw: I really dig the designerfusion GAL).

geek did you do my forum yet?

Ouch... Damn that non-compliant IE!

CSS MakeOver on its way! ;)


----------
UPDATE
----------

Can't figure out why its not rendering correctly in IE.

the output in the HTML source is valid and just confuses me even more.

The above for example.. isnt even in the HTML source... *shrugs*

I shall delve deeper.... but currently it doesnt look like the CSS is at fault.

global - it wont be in the source as such - it will be in a call to the GAL js function. Check out your cached replacement for the item in particular... in there will be the replacement HTML which may shine some light on the situation.

axi - I pmed you

Yeah.. checked there too.

There is no instance of the <td'> occuring ANYWHERE....
The phantom code.....


I wont even begin to ask why FF doesnt break with this misplaced code.... (or is IE just suicidal?) ;)

Can you post the cache for that item?

Another weird things...

I've set it as Class not CSS - it shouldnt be inline then should it?

Yea, but it could just require a rebuild.

What you want to do (if that doesnt sort it) is edit the js file with GAL_popup in it and get it to spit the contents in an alert box (I think theres one in there commented out from testing). That may help shed some light on it!

Nevermind.

I appear to have resolved it.

and yes.. its was the CSS (still no idea how though)

Setting to the default 'YellowBox' fixed it.

--------
UPDATE
--------

I set it back to the 'new' CSS, and it worked in IE... Go figure.

No CSS change. (and I always rebuild after any Changes on the backend)

Hey geek - I upgraded to 4.0, and I seem to be missing something. In the readme:

Log into your admincp and click Geek Autolink Manager->replacements

I don't have >replacements!

I have no idea how I did it, but can you help me fix it? :D

Hey Wolfy. You mean 4.5? If its the one for vb3.5, head over to www.thevbgeek.com and post. Ill sort you out for you quickly (I am not sure if I can support it here).

oops, I meant 402 - running on 3.0.8

ah - gotcha.

In your admincp... do you have a GAL navigation area? If you hae na empty area you may have to edit and save a phrase (any phrase) and then hit refresh.

nope, no empty spaces - I tried the edit-save phrase thing too. This is what I have:

did you upgrade from an earlier version?

yessir, from 3.0 I think. The last folder said 3.0 anyway.

Did you get any errors from the install (the part that edits your files?). Check your gish/gal/4.0/admincp folder for the version that GAL tried to update. That, or run the installer but only choose the manual install link and that will guide you through the manual file edits (there are only a couple).

HTH's

It looks like a # in the replacement text breaks GAL with an error of:

Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Unknown modifier '1'

It appears that you may strip out # characters when adding a new replacement, but not when saving an edit of a replacement.

Does anyone have this working on VBAdvance 2.x? Would be nice to have it autolink my fornt page news as well.

Thx!

Hi, I juts got error, the box not display .. why ? the gray or yellow not display.. sumtin wrong ? please check mine :
http://www.gembels.com/portal/forums...?p=620#post620

thanks..

Problem: I'm unable to add new entries. The settings in the ACP are working fine, while pre-existing replacements are functioning, but every time I enter a new replacement, nothing happens. I mean, the control panel says, "Gave birth to blah blah blah" but the new phrases are not hyperlinked, they're just normal text.

Orange - are you using the db cache? Have you tried debug->rebuild? Are the new entries in an active category? Are the new entries set to active?

Gembels - Check that the category for the items with no background has the styles set correctly and then debug->rebuild.

Chamberlain - loads of people have it working on their portal page. This version is designed so you can parse text anywhere. Offhand, I couldnt tell you where to put it, but it is only a 1 line entry (sorry to be a tease ;) )

HTH's

Yes, I'm using db cache.

I have tried debug --> rebuild. Same results.

The new entries are in the same category as all the working ones: "unknown." As far as setting them to active -- I don't know. I assumed all I had to do was enter the title, replacement, and URL. I wasn't aware of another step...

can you PM me a url and an admin account with access to GAL for me to have a gander (oh and a link to a page that SHOULD be working and isnt)

Thanks!

I hope this version isnt dead.... Well if you create a new forum after you install this you get an error in funcions geek what cha ma call it.
I see that I have to tick the fourm as active in the prefs for the autolinker and it goes away.

second bug.

I set an area in the usercp to act as a on and off swtich for the autolinker.
doenst work no matter what I try.

Also I realized the specific groups dont work either. (to turn off autolinker)

Now Geek a few months back you said you was busy so I didnt bother you but you think you can help me out? I see you helped others and I hear rave reviews.

I cant reproduce the adding forums bug. However in order to toggle by usergroup, you need to 'use the DB cache' in your settings.

HTH's

two deep second forum and I have alot of forums maybe that could be why.
DB is set to yes. Always has been. Still not working.
Any ideas?

you have the latest build right?

I just tested it on a clean install and I couldnt reproduce the forum issue and the usergroup was able to turn off GALS when I turned on the Use DB Cache (as designed). You can PM me admincp access and ill check it out for you

Same Problems With Me.

http://www.italks.net/showthread.php?p=506#post506

Everything i checked is fine.I am using DB cache and i have created everything according to README.html included along with installer.Please help.

Make sure that the box and style are set to a valid selection and click debug->rebuild

HTH's

I used the option of debug->rebuild and checked the box and style selection.

pm me an admin account and ill check it out

BTW: Just checked the page and it looks fine to me?

Not sure this is the best solution for doing this, but it works for me.

This will add autolinker function to the news content on your vbadvanced CMPS

in modules/news.php

Find:
After Add:
Make sure you add this after or else it will count the replaced text including the hyperlinking HTML as the text length and you will end up with very small news posts.

Hope this helps

Hi Geek,

I have your autolinker on my version 3.0.3, but if I upgrade to VB 3.5.0, do you have a stable autolinker for that yet?

If so, would it be 4.5 LITE or 4.5 PRO?

Thanks

Either/or will be fine.

I am still at 3.07. I just added a link and all over sudden I get all these in showthread.php

Are there any plans for a 3.5 gold version of this?

There is a lite version released for vb3.5 and a commercial PRO version on www.thevbgeek.com

Lionel. Thats Really odd. Never seen that one before. Have you tried a debug? Have you changed any of your replacments?
