Geek Auto-Linker 4.5 LITE

From the makers of O and yea comes the eagerly awaited LITE version of Geek Auto-Linker.

GAL is a revolution in dynamic schwizzelsisting for vBulletin 3.5x and dramatically improved from earlier versions to be faster and more efficient.

Package updated 05/12/05

• Fixes ordinal (order) of replacements

What does it do?

GAL scans posts at run time and automatically hyperlinks pre defined key words of your own creation! Thats right... every time someone types in toe jam, GAL can automatically link it to any URL you can dream of.
In fact, GAL will link several variations on toe jam (or whatever keywords you happen to use).

GAL 4.5 has improved its matchmaking abilities and now matches words returned from searches (though only single key words with no spaces due to vB limitations) and formatted words too! (which it never could before).

There are no file changes, no template changes and currently 1 query (as there is no freaking way to cache the datastore yet). Anyhooo - thar she blows.

For those wanting to have the news module in their vbaCMPS module auto-link... here is a teeny tutorial on it

Click install if you indeed install or you may be mocked publicly for it.

Please note that this is a free LITE version of the PRO version. Therefore there is no hovering popups, stats, impression tracking, BBcode in descriptions, etc...

in the GAL manager in this box;

"Ignore threadid (dont autolink this thread)" what do I enter to have every occurence to be linked??

and
with regards to the ordinal, I know it means "The order of replacement. This is a very important setting as it determines which links will get replaced first. Links are on a first come first serve basis. The lower the ordinal, the more precedence the links have" but what numbner should I have in there if I want every occurence to be linked?

Suggestion needed. I've had this running for a bit now and working perfectly. Now I did the upgrade to 3.5.3 and can't say I noticed a whole lot to be honest but today when I expected this hack to take effect, it showed properly after I posted and the AJAX refresh took place but going back to the thread later, no linking was going on.

I redid the hack, uploading files and importing the product with the overwrite on, then did the rebuild. No difference. As soon as I post, it's fine, do a refresh on the screen and it goes away.

Thoughts?

When i edit a thread and add a known linked word it does not post as a linked word.

When i create a new thread with a linked word then thats fine it posts the linked word no problem!!

[The Geek]

If its not linked, then its for a reason (i.e. formatting code surrounding the word). The linking occurs when a post is viewed whether its a new thread, edited thread or regular post.

HTHs
