Geek Auto-Linker 4.5 LITE

From the makers of O and yea comes the eagerly awaited LITE version of Geek Auto-Linker.

GAL is a revolution in dynamic schwizzelsisting for vBulletin 3.5x and dramatically improved from earlier versions to be faster and more efficient.

Package updated 05/12/05

• Fixes ordinal (order) of replacements

What does it do?

GAL scans posts at run time and automatically hyperlinks pre defined key words of your own creation! Thats right... every time someone types in toe jam, GAL can automatically link it to any URL you can dream of.
In fact, GAL will link several variations on toe jam (or whatever keywords you happen to use).

GAL 4.5 has improved its matchmaking abilities and now matches words returned from searches (though only single key words with no spaces due to vB limitations) and formatted words too! (which it never could before).

There are no file changes, no template changes and currently 1 query (as there is no freaking way to cache the datastore yet). Anyhooo - thar she blows.

For those wanting to have the news module in their vbaCMPS module auto-link... here is a teeny tutorial on it

Click install if you indeed install or you may be mocked publicly for it.

Please note that this is a free LITE version of the PRO version. Therefore there is no hovering popups, stats, impression tracking, BBcode in descriptions, etc...

Top work from The Geek! I too have upgraded to PRO, but also have to admit the LITE version's a must for everyone who's looking to inter-link content!

As promised, here is the french translation. The xml file is a product to install. It will replace english phrases. Anybody who wants to improve the translation can do it

In gal_admin.php some phrases are still hardcoded :
-l.201 : "Add new"
-l.510 : "Mantainence"

PS : I couldn't test all the translations because i'm only using the lite version, where as phrases seem to be for lite and pro versions.

Strange : with or without the CSS, linked words are not underlines.

TNG, nice!

After I convert my sites over to 3.5 you can be sure that I'll be stopping over for a few Pro licenses.

Just got the pro licence and I see the problem we had with the 3.0.x version is still there.
Offset not working .. any chance of getting this sorted ?

Thanks fo rthe heads up (and the translation!).

I just updated the package to fix the problem with the readme CSS not working. Essentially just replace your files with those in the new package and debug->rebuild your GAL cache. No need to reinstall the xml.

TTG - Found the problem in the pro package and updated it over at thevbgeek.com

Thanks!

I hope I can make LITE versions of all my stuff - its just down to time

You probably hate me for saying this, but " yeah, because a lite version is a nice way to advertise your pro versions "

Don't get me wrong, I still like it that you (and everybody doing this) take the effort and time to make and support an alternative to commercial products.

I'll be curious to see how the lite version of this stacks up to the one that LiveWire is making here:

Thanks for the release, btw.

Sounds just like this one... Just doesnt add any HTML markup. Guess great minds think alike

Typical vB cynicism that really makes me wonder WTF I am even doing here. You would think I made more than .40p per hour working on vB enhancments.
