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.

• 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.

Thanks man, you really do make great mods. :up:

Few suggestions:

1) Most important, if you could make it that every word/phrase and it's link is in one row on it's own special page.

So we make it something like this:

Link word or phrase - http://link.to.some.website/

It would make it much more easier to manage words/phrases and belonging links when we have more links. And we all will.

2. Make this page available through front end to chosen usergroups (admins of course), or maybe even to certain users. It's much easier to do some things without need to go to admincp. And I could give task of entering word-links to someone who isn't admin.

3. Add ability to set description of link (title="link description"), so we could inform users where this links leads to. It's excellent for advertising purposes, we could sell words etc.

I'd like to see it in same line with other links info:

Link word or phrase - http://link.to.some.website/ - link description

4. Ability to time expire word links. If we sell someone word link, it would be much easier that they expire automatically. Of course, everything would be in same line:

Link word or phrase - http://link.to.some.website/ - link description - expiration date

I hope that you could make at least suggestions 1,3 and 4. Not sure but I think they are relatively easy to implement. It would make this mod really great.

[BirdOPrey5]

1 and 3 I can certainly consider... 2 isn't my thing, it would far complicate things, sorry. 4 I will consider too, would be possible but you wouldn't want too many expired words to get stuck in the list, it would start to affect performance eventually- It's really better to just remove them manually. But I'll see what I can do.

[Alan_SP]

Ok, if you can make 1 and 3, it would be very useful. Especially 1, it makes everything much more logical to find. Automatically expiring links makes things easier, I certainly would like to see it and I can prune it afterwards. If you maybe enable sorting of words by some criteria (expired or not, etc), so we know what links are expired?

No, again that would add complexity I'm not willing to put that much time into it.

[Alan_SP]

Ok, how about categories? So we can sort words in categories and be able to find them easier?

Love it Bop, great idea!

This mode affect the bbcodes (all bbcodes) .
For bbcode [code] , [php] , [htm], etc -> you'll see this:

style="height:THE-SIZEpx;"> -- instead "THE-SIZE" you'll find the number

How I can fix this? Here a print after I put ON this mode:




If I disable this plugin , everything it's ok .
Maybe one option for the bbcodes exceptions will help this mode I mean if the future option will be on the bbcodes will not be affected ...

[BirdOPrey5]

I just tested the above with no problem... My guess is one of your keywords is the problem. Please paste here a list of your keywords and I'll see what the conflict is.

Thanks.
