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.

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

Thanks in advance.

If its posting the quickcodes in your post, then hit edit, then save, which forces the forum to reparse the post...and your codes will become smileys.
Bit of a pain, but a workaround though.

That works, but I wonder if there's a way to make this work automatically when someone submits a new post, without having to click Edit and Save?

[manuelg1201]

can you add a way to count each time a link/word is clicked and to cap each word/link at X clicks?

Excellent - works fine in 3.8 - well done.

[I, Brian]

Odd - worked fine straight after install, then noticed a couple of hours later it was no longer working.

Tried a disable, and uninstall - reinstall - but no longer working.

How odd??

vb 3.8.5

Er, okay, working.

Looks like it's a bit more picky than expected.

Any chance this working on 4.1, or are there any other good affiliate plugins?

Hi, thanks for your input, I find it very valuable, but I have a problem and I can not post comments in the CMS, because of their product, as it might fix it, thanks.

I have a bigger problem, when replies in article cms, it appears this error:

/includes/class_postbit.php(345) : eval()'d code on line 96


VBulletin support message :

Go to AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager and find the plugin using the 'postbit_display_complete' hook location. Then go back to 'Manage Products' and disable that one until you get a compatible version .

?solution?
