Replace Text

This is more of a getting you started piece of code than a copy and paste your board is hacked kind of release. If you don't know how to code in PHP, this hack is NOT for you.


What this "hack" does is it allows you to replace a word in a post with something else. It doesn't replace the word in titles or anywhere else like replacements do. Just in a post.

What I use it for: I replace the word Netflix in every post with a link to my Netflix affilliate.

What you might use it for: affilliate links, swear word replacements with style, pranks, whatever

You will need to modify the function that I have included to set up your own replacement words. You might want to replace more than one thing. It's up to you. Have fun with this and share what you have done.

I will help as much as I can in customizing this for you within reason.

Has anyone gotten this to work without turning on HTML in their forums? I thought that was a big security risk? I would like to get this to work so it posts with VB url code, but can't seem to figure it out.

thanks.

Yes, it's very simple to do it without HTML ON!!!!!!!

PHP Code:

function affiliateparse($text) {
   $affiliate_code = "[ URL=http://www.google.com ]Google[ /URL ]";
   $text = stri_replace("Google",$affiliate_code,$text); 

   return $text;
} 


PS:
Remove the Spaces

You mean an image as an URL?

Then it would be like:

PHP Code:

function affiliateparse($text) {
   $affiliate_code = "[ URL=http://www.google.com ][ img]http://www.site.com/yourimage[ /img][ /URL ]";
   $text = stri_replace("Google",$affiliate_code,$text); 

   return $text;
}

PHP Code:

function affiliateparse($text) {

   $affiliate_code1 = "[ URL=http://www.google.com ][ img]http://www.site.com/yourimage[ /img][ /URL ]";
   $text = stri_replace("Google",$affiliate_code1,$text); 

   $affiliate_code2 = "[ URL=http://www.google.com ][ img]http://www.site.com/yourimage[ /img][ /URL ]";
   $text = stri_replace("Google",$affiliate_code2,$text); 

   return $text;
}

so what happens when someone puts the keyword in a URL on their own?
Does the link get messed up?

[ImportPassion]
