I have finally gotten GAL3.0 to a stage where it can be beta tested via fresh install or upgrade from 2.6
GAL is designed to be able to auto link keywords to your own specific URLs. (Read more here).
3.0 builds on 2.6 but includes the following:
1- ability to specify ordinal
2- ability to add URL titles
3- ability to cusomize the URL replacement
4- abiilty to limit # of time a match is replaced per post
5- new installer/upgrader/uninstaller built on a prototype GISH installer. This means that all file edits are done automatically for you unless you choose otherwise.
6 - Just added a category manager to categorize your GALS, but also so you can override the global replacement text on a category level.
7- Global, categorical, or individual replacment value. You can customise the replacement code on a global level, but override it on a category level, or even override that on an individual level which gives you massive versatility.
All is pretty much self explanitory in the readme and the GAL 2.6 thread.
As this is a beta, I would encourage that it is not used on a live board and that you backup your DB and files before running.
edit:
I just updated the package to allow for "'s in the replacement.
Now you can customize the replacements with things like:
[edit]
I have spent all afternoon and just come up with a way to have the hovering popups!!! Consider it a beta add on for a beta. Once that is working 100% I will fold it into the main package. For now, the instructions are in the current package. It requires a file edit and a template edit.
The rest just works off replacement code that you create.

Like I said - the above is just pseudo code. But I am sure something like that would work (my javascript chugs).

Does that work if I edit existing article? I selected the option to auto add title in GAL, but I don't see where to put keywords and it did not update.
I had to finish the file edits by myself. After installation when i go to admincp and click on display I get an db error :
Code:
Database error in vBulletin 3.0.7:

Jesus! Geek, you are an absolute genious! Just finished playing with this beauty. Exactly what I needed to do all along. Now, I got to worry about that vbaLinks addon and then I shall eternally be grateful.
Lizard - I found the problem. I had to go back through the old install files and I finally found the problem.
Run the install or upgrade DB step again with this new package and that should sort you out.
