By the way, when I was using vb3 and vbseo, there was a feature in vbseo that did this called "vbSEO acronym expander." But back then vbseo had to modify their code for me so that it worked for HTTPS (not just HTTP) urls.

So I dunno, maybe that is the key to how to address this problem for vb5 too.

In any case, this would be a great mod for vb5 - to allow the changing of select words automatically as they appear in all posts into hyperlinks.

We'll see- the way it needs to work in VB5 is a bit different, but I have an early beta working on VB5 already- I may release it at some point if I feel I can get it ready.

Nice! Thanks. Look forward to it, and any other useful vb5 mods.

BOP - Is there any way you can do a 'minor' update to this thing so that it never "links to itself"??

IE I'm linking mainly to internal pages with this, and it looks kind of silly when a thread has several links to itself.

What do you think??

Wouldn't really be minor... Will consider it, it unfortunately won't be for a while, if it happens.

Still would like to see this for vb 5.

Is there a way to tell the parser to disregard a specific post? Like a bbcode or a word that will tell it not to create links for this post.

There are isolated instances where I want the forum the post is in to be enabled, but some posts, maybe not.

Thank you!

Did you try noparse BBcode?

Hiya,

No I haven't. I'll see how that works out.

Thanks

*edit* It stopped bbcode from parsing, but the word links continued. Any other ideas?

It's a two step process.

1st in BBCode Manager you need to make a new BBCode... call it nolink or something like that.
Make the replacement:

and save it...


Then you need to edit the Word Links mod settings. At the bottom of the settings the option called Custom Regex

You should have some existing code in this box, at the very end of it, making sure to leave no space, add the following code:
And save changes.

And if all works then you should be able to write
in a post and it won't be linked.
