Major Additions - AutoLinker Lite, keyword linker for vBulletin 3.7 and 4.x, and vbcms

AutoLinker Lite is a keyword linker for vBulletin 3.7 upwards, 4.x, and vBulletin CMS. It allows the webmaster to configure particular words or phrases as keywords, which will then be automatically linked when they appear in user posts. As well as being hyperlinked, keywords can have pop-over info boxes, as in the image below:



These info boxes are highly configurable (colours, borders, fade in/fade out effect etc), and can contain html - meaning you can embed images, videos etc. Balloon-style boxes are also supported.

AutoLinker Lite has a flexible permissions system, allowing you to control which forums a given link appears in, and which usergroups it is visible too.

This is a free version of a commercial product, and contains a limit on the number of AutoLinks that you may create. Other than that, it is fully functional.

Please note that AutoLinks in the CMS do not work in vBulletin 4.0.0 and 4.0.1. 4.0.2 and upwards are fine.

A couple more images to hopefully whet your appetite:

Some of the things you can do with HTML:

Would you like me to take a quick look at your admin cp? If so, just PM me the details and I'll take a look today. Off the top of my head I can't think what the problem is, but I might get a bit of inspiration from looking around

Did you sort the "alt" attributes for "paid version" mate ?

[kermit2]

Sorry yes, that was fixed last week if you want to re-download

[TimberFloorAu]

Cheers.

Have you also fixed the image path in autolink.js for tip_balloon

This is returning multiple 404/410 bad requests.
Seems the path is faulting out to:

forum/tip_balloon/image

This folder doesnt exist, also doesnt exist in d/l package.

Line: config.BalloonImgPath="tip_balloon/"

[kermit2]

You're right. That was fixed a few weeks ago, but hadn't made it into the released version yet (it has now). A quick fix is just to edit the line to read:

config. BalloonImgPath = "autolinker/images/balloons/yellow/"

Thanks man of your good module.

I had a uni_code problem in my MySQL while import from old GAL tables.

Of course I could NOT add a new with Korean Character to a link entry.

I will attach here two capture shot for your update release.

Could you fix that for the non-english users.

Yours.

Sorry yes, think my brain was on strike. I've just updated the original post with an updated version (1.0.4) which should correct this. In your case you just need to replace autolinker.js with the new version (no need to reinstall everything)

Yours.

In v1.0.4, I've changed the charset on the tables to utf8 (rather than latin1) ... hopefully this will solve the problem.

If you don't want to re-install, you could manually change the charset (through the mysql command line client, or phpmyadmin or similar):

alter table xxx default charset utf8

, where xxx is the table name (which in turn will depend on any table name prefix you're using).

There are 9 tables to modify, each beginning {PREFIX}_autolinker_

Hope that helps
