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.

Now I take what I said back... I just installed AME 3 on my test board and had no issues.

I linked this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypzR0...rec_grec_index

With both "watch" and "beagle" as keywords and AME displayed the video just fine.

Can you give me the exact keyword and a video link that isn't working?

Briliant idea! +1.

hi BOP


keyword I added was 'shockwave'

when I enable your mod, all AME3 vids are not displayed but this code is..

shockwave-flash" width="640" height="385" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/60KaVERzEys&fs=1">

notice the 'shockwave' at the start of the code?

thanks

[BirdOPrey5]

I see... my VB4 site I'm using the newer HTML5 YouTube code that doesn't use flash (shockwave) code at all. Would you consider upgrading to the HTML5 youtube embedding? It will let your mobile users be able to watch YouTube videos on devices that don't support flash (all apple and some android devices).

I have instructions on how to change to HTML5 here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=261336

I know there is a spot in AME3 to change the definitions too but I think the mod ignores that if vbulletin has a built in definition because I didn't change the built in flash in AME3 but my site is still using the HTML5 I set per the thread I linked to.

[BirdOPrey5]

Updated to 0.96

Should fix AME3 conflicts regardless of using HTML5 or Flash embed code.
