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 1.5a: 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.

I apologize, I error with a link! :-(

I can do other question?

If you wanted to link these words together but not separate
"viaggi sicuri"
how should I do?

activating the Case Sensitive I would not lose the variants:
Viaggi sicuri
Viaggi Sicuri
VIAGGI SICURI
etc?

[BirdOPrey5]

Assuming you have case-insensitive turned on then just use: viaggi sicuri

But make sure it is above any instances of viaggi or sicuri alone on the list.

If you have case-sensitive then you can make as many variations as you want just all set to go to the same URL.

You need to upload the file to the correct location. It's saying functions_bop_wordlinks.php is not in the /includes/ folder.

Nice

Thanks

Why can't this happen for vb5?

[BirdOPrey5]

Not saying it can't, but I don't see myself having the time to do it for VB5 anytime soon. None of the code from the VB4 version could really be used, if someone else wanted to try their hand they have my blessing.

[mdawg]

Still like to see this for vb 5.

Installed on 4.2.3

No issues at all. Does exactly as it says on the tin

[Ashlar217]

Still loving this on my 4.2.3 site. I am interested in purchasing the Gold version, but I cannot register at your site @BirdOPrey. Can I purchase Gold elsewhere?
