Mini Mods - vBaffiliate Links

Description:

This modification will replace a list of words with a list of words/links you define.
I use it to create links to affiliate programs using words from the posts, but can be used as a simple text replacement.

Tested With:

• vBulletin 3.6.9
• vBulletin 3.7.0 RC 3

Changes:

• [v1.1.0]
  • Added vBadvanced News module support
  • Option for case sensitive
  • Option for removing space before & after
  • Link mask for link replacement
  • Can be used as a simple text replacement (without Link mask)
  • Code simplification for expanding propose
• [v1.0.1] Issue with vB 3.7.0 RC3
• [v1.0.0] First Release.

Installation & Upgrade Instructions:

Upload the product & configure the settings for the product vBaffiliate Links.

Notes:

This doesn't work with highlight text when searching yet ...
[s]The replacement is case sensitive.
The replacement process will only replace word between spaces.[/s]
From v1.1.x you can use the Link mask as a standard way to define your links.
This mod will only work with PHP5.
If someone would like to help, the credit will be given and I'll appreciate.

How to Use:

Without Link Mask:

Place one word per line in the first box and one word/link per line in the second box.

Nice job.

Doesnt the built in replacement variables do the same, or will this only replace words in posts?

Thanks,

This doesn't replace words permanently. It replaces words on the fly, so if you want to create links they will be removed when you remove this mod.

Just use the replacement variables in the style manager and see if that works, it should.
