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.

Version: 2.0

• New in 0.91: Limit the number of links created per keyword per post.
• New in 0.92: Use CSS to customize the look of links created by this mod.
• New in 0.93: Linked words now retain the same case as they were originally typed. Also a new option to specify whether linked words are case sensitive or not.
• New in 0.935: Fixed conflict with VBSEO and possibly other mods. Upgrade if you are having problems.
• New in 0.94: Made the "Custom CSS" an option to prevent unnecessary HTML if not needed.
• New in 0.95: Enable or disable in PMs.
• New in 0.96: Should fix conflicts with AME3 mod, restores same case change in 0.93.
• New in 1.0: Additional code to prevent unintended linking. No new features.
• New in 1.1: Set approximate number of max links per page.
• New in 1.2: Fixed bug when Ampersands (&) were used in keywords.
• 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.

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

Take a look at my site-
http://www.juot.net/forums/showpost....57&postcount=1

In the last line of the first post is an auto-link to Amazon.

Right click on it and paste the URL and see what you see... so I am sure it should work.

I'm wondering if maybe you are using the built in Skimlinks integration rather than just putting the line of javascript code in your footer that skimlinks provides- I know the footer code affiliates all links no matter where they are on the page or how they were made.

You know what you could do- and in fact I do on most domains- use the Skimlinks URL shortener to create an affiliate link to Amazon and your other sites, then use that short URL as the URL in Word Links- this was the user clicks on Amazon and they go to http://buyth.at/j9ty2 (or whatever your short URL is.) Then you wouldn't need worry about changing the skimlinks integration and it would even work with people who block javascript.

Hello- I am going to need to know the exact word / URL combo that is causing that error- I am sorry but I can't look through dozens and dozens of words/links to determine which one(s) may be causing the issue.

I checked that link on your site, and it only pastes as http://www.amazon.com
Looks like your site is having the same issue as mine.

It maybe your browser or maybe an extension you have? If you have adblock or the skimlinks editor installed on your browser it may be blocking the js code.

I had to disable the skimlinks editor to confirm it was working, and it is.

When i right click on the Amazon link i get this URL-

http://go.redirectingat.com/?id=21651X798175&site=juot.net&xcust=thread94446&xs=1&isjs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2F&xguid=5f1deea36e1d7b554cd3d6de895e069f&xcreo=0&xed=0&sref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.juot.net%2Fforums%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D94446&pref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.juot.net%2Fforums%2Fforumdisplay.php%3Ff%3D46&xtz=240

But when I right click on your Amazon link I get the Amazon URL.

Thanks for this very good mod. I might purchase the Gold version to be able to use it on the CMS as well.
I have a little issue though:
For words with accentuated letters it doesn't seem to work when I use a csv file.
Both database and csv files are saved with Unicode UTF-8 settings.

It does work when not using a csv file.
Any advice on how this could be fixed? (I have a list of 175 words and prefer to use the csv method).

[BirdOPrey5]

In your Language Manager for your language, in settings, what is the HTML Character Set set to? If it isn't UTF8 I would try encoding the csv file the same as this setting.

[naisho]

Perfect! I thought it was UTF-8 but it was ISO-8859-1.
Now everything is fine with my csv file.
Thanks a lot!
