Miscellaneous Hacks - Word Links FREE (Turn words into links) by BOP5

Brought to you by BirdOPrey5 / Qapla.com

Thank You for voting this June 2011 Mod of the Month!!!

The purpose of this mod is to automatically turn keywords or phrases you specify into links. You set a list of keywords and a list of URLs to link them to and let the mod do the rest.

This is the FREE Version. It allows you to auto-link words in:

• Posts/Threads
• Private Messages
• Visitor Messages
• Social Groups

The GOLD Version is available at Qapla.com It allows auto-linking words in:

• Posts/Threads
• Private Messages
• Visitor Messages
• Social Groups
• Picture Comments
• Blog Entries
• Blog Comments
• CMS Articles
• CMS Comments

Live Demo at Qapla.com.

There are many options as you can see in the screenshot. You can choose to include the "nofollow" attribute, choose to open links in a new tab, choose to match whole words only or not, specify specific forums, enable in social groups and visitor messages, and disable completely for selected usergroups or styles.

• New in 1.3: Added optional notice on posts with links and associated phrase.
• New in 1.5: Two new features: 1) You can now use a csv data file for your links (and advanced features) if you prefer and 2) You can use a custom user profile field to allow users to disable the mod individually if you choose.
• New in 1.5a: Updated German language file thanks to Igel1.
• New in 1.6: Fixed bug if keyword was part of thread title and thread title was a link in the post. (VB4 Only)
• New in 1.7: Added field to extend the regex easily through the mod settings. Included fix for bold/font color links.
• New in 2.0: Rewritten more efficient code. Added option to disable by styleid. Added GOLD version.

Example... If someone types:

"I bought it on Amazon."

This mod can auto convert it to:

"I bought it on Amazon."

And you would presumably put your Amazon affiliate code, if you had one, in the link.

NOTE: This mod does not alter the actual posts or the database. Disabling or uninstalling the mod will remove all links.

There is a VB3 and VB4 version of this mod, please download the correct version.

Full instructions in zip file.

Notice:
Since the following words are used in HTML tags I would avoid them as keywords:
style, div, class, pre, href, img, html, meta, name, rel, nofollow, and link.

I would also avoid any single letter or two letter keywords since they could easily be used accidentally in places you weren't intending.

Please "Mark as Installed" if you use this.

I imagine it has to do with regular expressions and character encoding- unfortunately I don't know how to fix the issue. The issue has been mentioned in comments on php.net but there's no easy fix.

Thanks for the answer, i'll try to analyze encoding settings and regexp deeper.

So if Amazon is a keyword

and you have a Link like-

Use Google to Search Amazon

Amazon should NOT be getting linked...

If it is please send me a URL where I can see it happen and the keyword(s) that are getting linked that shouldn't be.

Here's an example: http://nikonites.com/general-lenses/...up-%24400.html

These should all be links to amazon, but some are coming up with the links defined in this mod. The phrases are defined in a file. Maybe it has something to do with the dots and dashes?

This is interesting- In the Settings for the Alt Text to Linked Images mod find the setting-

Image Resizer Code

And add this code-

onload="NcodeImageResizer.createOn(this);"

Even if you're not using an image resizer just want to see if this stops the problem or not.

Hello. This error only appears if the option setting:

Match Whole Words Only?
If "Yes" will link whole words only. Example: If "Jeep" is a keyword, "Jeeps" will not be linked. If "No" it will match partial words. Using the same example you'd see "<a href="http://www.jeep.com" target="_blank">Jeep</a>s."


This error appears on all post with quote:

<a> div class = "BBCode_Container">

And the quotes box is gone:



And in the post if you quote appears:

a>



Help please.

thanks

PS: Sorry for my english
