Brilliant stuff - many thanks!

Updated to version 1.0 - Stable Release!

Thank you all for your help beta testing this mod the last few weeks. I am now confident it is stable and ready for official release. I have just uploaded a new version 1.0.

There are no new features over the last Beta but I have added additional code to prevent unintended linking. (Links that are part of HTML elements and not actual words.)

Although I'm sure we will get the occasional report of a word not being compatible I think for the most part as is it should work for most people most of the time.

If you encounter an unintended link you can remove the keyword and let me know here until I can find a fix.

Enjoy. :)

yeah my only problem with this is that let's say I link the word Play (a game store online) with Play.com

Whenever a word contains the char 'play', it links it making the whole word awkward...get what I'm saying?
Is there a way to fix this?

Of course
rated, nom, tagged, and installed

There's several options:

Make "Play.com" it's own keyword, put it above the "Play" keyword in settings and it will link the entire word.

Set "Match Whole Words Only" to YES. (But in the particular case of Play.com it probably still will only match "Play" because the period (.) is considered an end-of-word character. Not a bug in the program but just the way php works.

Use custom CSS to make the links look less different than standard text until someone actually mouseover's the link.

Look at home page vbulletin.org - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/portal.php and vote for this mod :)

Im proud that my idea is in MOTM :) And thanks again BirdOPrey5 for made this mod :)

Thanks eh69, I always figured there was a working mod to do this already- I didn't realize the old one wasn't working out for people.

this is awesome!!!!!

Ni,
very god Mod - nominated.
A better alternative for Skimlinks. :p

I have 2 suggestions:
1. If you have a lot of Links it might be difficult to change one, you have to count the Lines in two boxes.

2. It bis good for internal linking an external (Ads) linking. But if possible i like to set this 2 Groups different.
Internal: follow and same Tab/Window
External: nofollow an new Tab window.

It might be good to have 4 Boxes (2 for internal Liks and 2 for external Links)

Or have one 1 Box with Parameters:
ex:

Word|Link|0|1 Parameter: 0=follow, 1=nofollow and 0= same Window, 1=new Window ore something like this.


Best regards
Christian

Those are good ideas Christian, the single box idea has been mentioned before. I'm trying to find a way to make entering it easier.

In the mean time I am updating this mod to version 1.1 which allows for an approximate maximum links per page.

Updated to version 1.1.

You can now set *an approximate* number of total max links per page.

It is approximate because the mod will make links until it reaches the end of the post, VM, or social group message where it meets the page max number of links.
