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.

Version: 2.0

• New in 0.91: Limit the number of links created per keyword per post.
• New in 0.92: Use CSS to customize the look of links created by this mod.
• New in 0.93: Linked words now retain the same case as they were originally typed. Also a new option to specify whether linked words are case sensitive or not.
• New in 0.935: Fixed conflict with VBSEO and possibly other mods. Upgrade if you are having problems.
• New in 0.94: Made the "Custom CSS" an option to prevent unnecessary HTML if not needed.
• New in 0.95: Enable or disable in PMs.

• New in 1.0: Additional code to prevent unintended linking. No new features.
• New in 1.1: Set approximate number of max links per page.
• New in 1.2: Fixed bug when Ampersands (&) were used in keywords.
• New in 1.3: Added optional notice on posts with links and associated phrase.
• New in 1.5: Two new features: 1) You can now use a csv data file for your links (and advanced features) if you prefer and 2) You can use a custom user profile field to allow users to disable the mod individually if you choose.
• 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.

After upgrading to php 5.4 the mod doesn't work any more.
I get this at the beginning of each post (or cms article).
I am using the Gold version of the mod.
Any advice to fix this?

So if your forum is in another encoding (like ISO-8859-1 which is mine) then you will have all the above problems.
The solution is to use your encoding with htmlspecialchar:

I tried this but im getting error when i use: ISO-8859-2


Warning: htmlspecialchars() [function.htmlspecialchars]: charset `ISO-8859-2' not supported, assuming iso-8859-1 in [path]/includes/functions_bop_wordlinks.php on line 123

iso-8859-1 dont show-up links for me

The solution given by nektar worked fine for me.
In functions_bop_wordlinks.php file, I did that (around line 121):

//    $bopfind = preg_quote (htmlspecialchars($bopfind));
      define('CHARSET', 'ISO-8859-1');
      define('REPLACE_FLAGS', ENT_COMPAT | ENT_XHTML);  
      $bopfind = preg_quote (htmlspecialchars($bopfind,REPLACE_FLAGS, CHARSET));

I have rebuld the cpanel and restore the complete data of the site. And now the process is complete but now i recived this message when i Enable Word Links FREE by BOP5 VB4

"Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 207502281 bytes) in /home/public_html/includes/class_postbit.php(340) : eval()'d code on line 117"

How many words do you have setup? If itis hundreds (or more) it may be too much for your server to handle.

If you only have a few it could be something too short it's being matched too often or maybe you have an unbalanced number of keywords vs links?

Try removing all your keywords and links and replacing with just one keyword/link and see if you get the same error.

In this post you made about your problem you posted in vb5 but this plugin is for vb4 so either you posted in the wrong section but if you are running vb5 then this plugin will not work for vb5 as its for vb4 so remove it would be your best option

[boffin_adi]

Sorry for i have posting wrong section, but i use Vb4
