Hi All

I am so glad I found this mod. I was using GAL before. GAL has no support for 4.0.x and that was a bummer.

I just installed the commercial pro version of AutoLinker a few days ago on my forum.

It was a simple procedure, every admin should have no problem installing the software on VB4.0.x

I ran into a few issues that were resolved for me quickly by the staff at http://www.autolinker.com.

The issues will be listed here including the solutions.

Problem: After I installed Aurolinker on my forum, I started getting the following message:
Fatal error: Corrupted encoded data detected in /home/XXXXX/public_html/forums/admincp/autolinker_admin.php on line 0

Solution: This was because autolinker_admin.php and AutoLinker.php were
FTP uploaded in ASCII mode - I re-uploaded those two files and made sure they are uploaded in
binary mode.

Problem: I have added new Links and keywords. The problem is that these keywords are
not getting AUTOLINKED in the posts.

Solution: It was a simple problem - the permissions template was restricting who
could see the link. I've made the template viewable to all usersgroups in all forums, and now the links are showing.

Problem: When I click on highlighted keyword in a post, it opens a new blank window not a the desired link page.

Solution: This was easily fixed too... If you look at the display template, there is a field 'href action'. Just change this to 'link' and it will work (the setting means that when someone clicks on the keyword, it should take them to a link) destination.

Once I added the new links and keywords, I discovered another issue:

Problem: Posts will not show in threads. Basically empty thread.

Solution: Discovered some of my keywords had a / in them, and this was being treated as an escape character by AutoLinker. They were removed and Pete at Autolinker also did some changes to autolinker.php, so all are working now.

Hopefully this will help others who may run into the same issues.

Thanks to the staff who helped me sort these issues and get my mod up and running.

Money well spent on this much needed mod.

Satisfied User - 5 Stars for the staff so far :up:
