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:
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.
Version: 2.0
New in 0.91: Limit the number of links created per keyword per post.
New in 0.92: Use CSS to customize the look of links created by this mod.
New in 0.93: Linked words now retain the same case as they were originally typed. Also a new option to specify whether linked words are case sensitive or not.
New in 0.935: Fixed conflict with VBSEO and possibly other mods. Upgrade if you are having problems.
New in 0.94: Made the "Custom CSS" an option to prevent unnecessary HTML if not needed.

New in 1.3: Added optional notice on posts with links and associated phrase.
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.
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.
Still loving this on my 4.2.3 site. I am interested in purchasing the Gold version, but I cannot register at your site @BirdOPrey. Can I purchase Gold elsewhere?
Thank you, the email server had bugged out, I didn't notice. It should work now. You register via the quick registration form on the main forum page.
Started to get complaints of when autolinked words are in quoted portions of posts, quotee's name is normally bold, but now it just has the <strong> tag in front of the name.
I'm at a loss. Thanks for looking
One of my members' reports:
Quote:
It does this whenever it sees a set of words associated with an existing wiki page or pages.. I could say something like Leopard in those forums, and the word would be auto-linked to the Wizard101 Central Wiki page. It also notes that in the bottom of the post, right above the signature. Go back to the thread, every quote has <strong> and has at least one Wiki auto-link within.
