Mini Mods - vBaffiliate Links

Description:

This modification will replace a list of words with a list of words/links you define.
I use it to create links to affiliate programs using words from the posts, but can be used as a simple text replacement.

Tested With:

• vBulletin 3.6.9
• vBulletin 3.7.0 RC 3

Changes:

• [v1.1.0]
  • Added vBadvanced News module support
  • Option for case sensitive
  • Option for removing space before & after
  • Link mask for link replacement
  • Can be used as a simple text replacement (without Link mask)
  • Code simplification for expanding propose
• [v1.0.1] Issue with vB 3.7.0 RC3
• [v1.0.0] First Release.

Installation & Upgrade Instructions:

Upload the product & configure the settings for the product vBaffiliate Links.

Notes:

This doesn't work with highlight text when searching yet ...
[s]The replacement is case sensitive.
The replacement process will only replace word between spaces.[/s]
From v1.1.x you can use the Link mask as a standard way to define your links.
This mod will only work with PHP5.
If someone would like to help, the credit will be given and I'll appreciate.

How to Use:

Without Link Mask:

Place one word per line in the first box and one word/link per line in the second box.

It's not replaced because it adds a space before & after the word.
You may disable this in the Admin Panel.

Great mod .

Just one question.

Do this replace text only inside the posts, or in all templates like the replacements vars function? (forums names, post titles, etc).

Thanks in advance, Simon.

I see now. The screen shot got me confused.

Does this hack by default only affect words with a space before and after it or is that what the space function is for? Sorry for the stupid question, but better be safe than sorry in this case.

Does this work for old posts as well? Should we clear post cache?

Hi,

You can see in my signature if you can understand Portuguese ... these links differ from the default links by an image I've placed right after the word.
I've placed a screen shot for the links I use.

By default only replaced words between spaces and it's case sensitive ... you can fine tune this settings in the ACP.

Yes ... this is done when the post it's shown and doesn't changes the default content.
If it doesn't show on older posts, try to clean the cache.
