Geek AutoLinker 4.02 Details »» | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
HowdA All,
Welcome to Geek Autolinker 4.0 from the makers of Geek Autolinker 2.0 and Tang - the stuff the people in space drink. posts for version 4.0 start here What it does: It allows you to specify key words to replace in posts with ANY FREAKING URL YOU COULD THINK OF. Thats right, you to can now have key words automatically url'ed to other areas of the world wide web. Now in 4.0 you can create popups, track impressions and click-thrus, get statistics on them and specify more attributes of the links. The popups can now also use bbcode to create virtually any kind of popup you could imagine. You can limit categories of links to certain forums and also enable specific usergroups to toggle GALs on or off (by category). This is a perfect gift for sponsors, click throughs, referal programs, definitions, instructions, birthdays and other celebrations. Example: If I define Bob as a keyword that I would like to automatically come up hyperlinked to bob.com all I have to do is say so (well, you put it into the admincp). Presto! As quick as that, everytime a user sees the word bob, bobs, bob! Bob bOb? etc... it comes up linked to bob.com How much will bob love you? If the url you want it to jump to is actually a thread on your site, you can use the nifty ignorethreadid option. Heres how that works: If I have a thread entitled Reputation and how to use it, I can put the word reputation into the Geek AutoLinker with the URL pointing to the thread about reputation. Then everytime the word reputation appears in someones post, anyone can click on it to learn more. Since it would be stupid to have the thread Reputation and how to use it autolink to itself, I put the threadid in the ignorethreadid box. That way all matches for reputation are linked to that thread except for the reputation matches in the thread Reputation and how to use it. Safe mode and dangerous mode. There are now two modes of operation. Safe mode will autolink any match AS LONG AS IT HAS A SPACE BEFORE IT. That means that <br />bob or .Bob are not valid matches and wont be highlighted. The reason for this is to prevent the autolinker messing up URLs with matches in them (like www.bob.com). Safe mode will most likely end up with fewer matches, but no messed up URLS. Dangerous mode however could care less about your cute little spaces. It will link them regardless. That means more matches, but a slight increase that an existing url might break in a post. Here are some examples in action. Keyword: freak Safe mode. Freak out whenever freaks freak about on www.freak.com Dangerous mode: Freak out whenever freaks freak about on www.<a href="www.freak.com">freak</a>.com Other stuff:
Difficulty: Easy File mods: 4 simple ones Added queries: 0 or greater depending on your settings Updated 10.5.05 - Major Massive update in functionality Updated 13.4.05 - Major Massive update in functionality Update 25.03.05 - oops! Changed readme addition to functions_showthread.php Things look good now Updates 25.05.05 to v.204 - sneaky bug Thanks to Razz - I found 2 minor typos that end up causing people working in safemode to actually be working in danger mode! To upgrade, simply check out this post Updated 12.2.05 to v. 2.03 - ultra minor Fixed a typo in readme. To upgrade, al you need to do is edit admincp/index, do a search for construct_nav_option($vbphrase['GAL_add_new'], 'GAL_admin.php?do=create'); and replace with construct_nav_option($vbphrase['GAL_add_new'], 'GAL_admin.php?do=add'); Updated 11.2.05 - ultra minor Fixed a typo in README (dont worry, it wasnt in the instructions) Stopped phrase text spitting out during install. Some of the phrase is html so it looked confusing to new installers. Removed reference to GAS3 settings in the install. This is because its the same installer. Just forgot to remove that line. All in all, this was just a typo fix. There is no upgrade because there are no problems with the code. Updated 10.2.05 - minor Found a couple typos that affect safe mode. Nothing major - just replace the GAL_admin.php file Updated 10.2.05 - Major Completely re-written. See README for upgrade instructions. Update 10.2.05 - minor Updated include/geek_autolink.php as it was missing a table_prefix To upgrade, download latest package and replace your geek_autolink file. nJoy Show Your Support

However, you could try this workaround (havent done it myself but it would make sense: in functions_showtherad.php replace: PHP Code:

I've noticed that single-word entries supercede multi-word entries. For example, when I input "Toyota" and "Toyota Celica," the hack will only hyperlink "Toyota" in those instances where "Toyota" is part of a multi-word keyword. Like this...
Toyota Toyota Celica Toyota Landcruiser Celica and Landcruiser are left out, even if I did input them in as part of the phrase. |

Thats because it linked review, then linked review center.
If you were in safemode, only review would ever get linked. In dangerous mode, IF review was replaced first then review center would mess it up. Hope this makes sense! |

Little bit deep for me, BUT nevertheless, seems to be working
Look here at this post for an example of it working right. This is a nice hack Quote:

Hey Mr. Geek, I have been looking for this feature for a while. So I am well chuffed with it. Ta! I clicked install for you.
A couple of questions.... 1. Is there a way to change the style of links produced from this mod from the default link style? I would like to make them bold 2. If I add a the same keyword twice, and put a different link with each one, will it randomize between the 2 link destinations? 3. Does it only work wioth single words, or will it work with phrases to? For example, "bob music". Just a couple of suggestions.... 1. It might be better if the admin could enter one URL, and a list of keywords & phrases (seperated by commers) to trigger that link. 2. Forgot it.... dam! :smoke: |

Glad it helps. 1. To change the look of the links - try changing the DEFS CSS markup that came with the file. Otherwise, you will need to edit your GAL_admin.php file as that is where links are made 2. It wont randomize (think that would drive users ape poop ). The replacement is a first come first server basis. 3. Works with whatever phrase you want, no matter how many spaces it contains (Though there is a limit on the phrase character length but that escapes me right now!) I like your suggestion. Ill look into it when I revisit this hack (when I am done with GAS3) Toodles |
