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:

Don't suppose you've modified the file have you? Sounds like a missing } somewhere, but it's certainly not giving an error here. Maybe it's been mangled during upload?

I'm very interested in this mod, but I've got a question.
I want the links to take a specific table from various mediawiki pages, is there any way I could get it to do that automatically, or would I have to create everything manually (meaning updating whenever wiki pages update, etc)?

[kermit2]

There's not a way to do that automatically at the moment I'm afraid, although we could custom code it for you probably

[iamacyborg]

That would be good. Is there any chance you could email me at jacques [at] iamacyborg.com with details about pricing if you were to custom code it?
I'll definitely be purchasing the product anyway, it's too useful to pass up on.

I really want to install this and if all is good go for the pro version but I can't get past the darn install.

I uploaded everything to the appropriate folders (used the v 1.0.4 file) and when I go to upload the XML file, I get this error in the admincp:

Database error in vBulletin 4.0.3:

Invalid SQL:
ALTER TABLE `autolinker_links` DEFAULT CHARSET utf8;

MySQL Error   : Table 'bmtanner3.autolinker_links' doesn't exist
Error Number  : 1146
Request Date  : Wednesday, May 19th 2010 @ 07:44:16 PM

Referrer      : http://www.m3orpg.com/admincp/plugin.php?do=productadd

I gave it a shot by using the 1.0.3 file and was able to get around that error. However, once I go to create a new display template or even a new link, I get this error:

Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() [function.mysql-real-escape-string]: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) in [path]\admincp\autolinker_admin.php  on line 517

HELP!

Sorry about the delay in getting back to you ...

Firstly, the SQL error during installation was a stupid mistake that I've now corrected in 1.0.4

The second error that you're getting is more of a problem. Which versions of PHP and vBulletin are you using please? What platform are you running on, Linux?

vBulletin 4.0.3
PHP 5.2.5

Platform is Windows.

there's a problem ,, if keyword has a link this MOD change it

for example if there is a word like download Linux program and it has a link this mod will change the link so it must check if the work has link or not before autolink it.

and another thing, for example if i choose games as a keyword and if this word repeated for 3 times on the post it must autolink the first one only, not all the three.
sorry for my English.

Haywire: I've been trying to replicate this problem, but haven't yet been able to. We don't tend to use Windows and I'm not yet sure if it's a Windows-specific issue.

Mahfouz: You can limit the number of times a keyword is linked to per-post (it's under the Settings menu)
