Hey I upgraded n database stuff works and all that.

BUT I get page errors in the HTML. Now this doesnt stop it from working just not HTML friendly.

No pop up. (didnt work) I put it in the Header as well.

Hey Frzzy. Tough to say since there were so many changes ;)

I would run the installation (except for file changes) and just manually check those (there are only 3). Great to see the popup working.

t3media. Thats most likely a javascript error. which version of the package did you install. I assume you installed the popup code? Which browser and version?

Hi

Sorry if this has been mentioned i did not see it but will there be an option to stop it auto linking in certain forums, for example i have a article forum and would like it not to link anything in there?

Kirk

No there isnt an option for that now.
You can stop certain links in certain threads (thats what the ignorethreadid option is for). That way if a link is for that particular thread, it wont autolink it.

HTHs

Hi

Do you think you might add it as i have aver 1600+ links already installed and i don't fancy changing the ignore thread for that many each tim a article is posted.

Just an idea.
Thanks
Kirk

illl mull it over ;)

Geek my autolink for articles is not working.

just got your pm. Ill look into it.

BTW - have you installed this version of GAL? It has a newer functions_gal.php that GAS uses. In fact - there is also some debug options with this version that could really help me diagnose the problem.

Duh. Of course you are using this hack :) (not enough coffee yet this morning).

The problem was that there were no usergroupid's specified in the GAS settings. Normall, none would=all however with this type of option - you must be explicit - otherwise people could overrun your board with autolinks!.

On that note - you are using this hack, but you have a few remenants of earlier versions. Downlaod the latest... replace your files and redo the admincp/index.php step so you can get the category management options. Then you can rename your 'unknown' category to something more useful :)

I was wondering about categorie option a lot. Yesterday i downloaded the latest version but didn't do the file edits again ;) I think thats the main problem. Just doing it right now.

So everyone - how we looking?

Do we feel that the system is sorted now? I assume that everyone would like the popup option built into the install?

Everything is working pretty good for me ;)

I am still on the last RC before you added the popup. Not really a feature I would use, but everything else is A-OK. I also setup a test forum on a seperate box, and fresh install was smoooooth.

Thanks Zachlee.

Unless someone says otherwise - Ill most liekly release tonight

Thank you very much for this hack Geek. It is incredibly useful. :)

I would like to see a "smart mode" in addition to the dangerous and safe mode. I am using safe mode, but there are a lot of potential links that are not getting linked. I think it just needs a little more intelligence with regular expressions to catch more of them without resorting to the dangerous mode where even segments of words get linked.

Also, can we enter regexps in the "text to replace" field when adding entries?

Pop-up doesnt work and if you do a search that IS the link the link dies.

For example if I made the word sexy a link and do a forum serach for sexy and goto that page.... (http://www.yoursite.com/forums/showt...highlight=sexy)
The link will die.

Just figured that one out.

the version I installed was the version dated to the post I made. I did not look and I am at the office at the moment. I was on IE latest version on XP.

Tom, you would have to edit the code to edit the regex. If you can supply a better one - I am game to put it in.

In safe mode, it must have a space before the word in order to qualify. when searching, the word gets highlighted with something like <span=highlight>word</span>. It would be very difficult and very slow to try and figure out if the > next to word was the end of a link or not. Same with a full stop . who knows if that is part of an extension of a url? Or an underscore? You get the gist. Without a lot of recursive checking - its very difficult to try to determine if it is safe to link.

But like I said in the begining - if a better regex can be put forward then I think that is a big +

For the popup to work - you have to make file changes to vbulletin_menu.js and you must have the recommended replacement text in the global, category or item replacment where that item lives (if you get me).
