Geek AutoLinker 4.0 RC2
 

This is a totally new version of the popular GAL3.0 system

Thread closed. Release is gold here -> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=76054


I am pretty cool that this package should be the final release. I have spent about 50 hours recoding this from the ground up but want a green light from you guys before I stick it in the current release thread.

In a nutshell this system replaces any keywords in posts with specific replacements (no, not like replacements in vb). It will do anything form simply link keywords all the way to produce poup boxes when doing a mouseover keywords.
The popups now support bbcode, html, multiple styles, titles, etc...

Other new features:
Track impressions, track hits, limit categories to certain forums, have usergroups toggle on.off certain forums, blahblahblahblah.

Basically its GAL 3 on Steroids.

O yea, the replacments are also a bit smarter :)

Upgrading:
From 2.6 and 3.0
Follow the install instructions in the readme. When you start up gal4_install.php, follow the upgrade path.
Please note that any replacement codes you added in 3.0 will go byebye. These are NOT your gal items... they are the global, category, or item level replacments that looked like something like this:
<a href="$link" title="$description">$text</a>

I would be shocked if anyone had more than 1 or 2 of these. If you modified them in any particular way - just copy them into notepad... run the install... then create new ones with the new system. REMEMBER: YOUR EXISTING GAL LINKS WILL BE PORTED SAFELY OVER!!!

Check out the extensive readme for details.

nice one dude :) I will be installing this later on, I still have the first one you release and have set it up to allow users to enable/disable it.

Ok, so the real question is: I already run 3.06, what is the best way to UPGRADE?

run the upgrade path of the installer :)

BTW: WHere did you get your 3.06? I only released up to 3.0 ;)

You may have to manaully edit files on 3 steps if the autoinstaller cant do it for you - but they are pretty minor edits.

BTW: Its worth noting that your replacement codes are going to go byebye from version 3.0 as there is a new way of doing it.
If you had custom replacement codes - you may want to copy them down first.

LOL! I meant 3.0 lol

Can this one do word replacements?

OH damn! Luckily I have NOT upgraded yet. So yes I will take a screenie of them. Oh man so many too...

Damn, this IS GAL3 on steroids :)

Nice job, to bad I dont have a use for it right now...

Tony - remember its the replacment codes - NOT your existing links and descriptions. Those will be ported over fine.

JimpsEd - Not sure I get you right. It is designed to replace words with whatever (primarily popup boxes).

Thanks Dark and Snipe. IMO THis is my greatest work to date. Very proud of it :)
