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...

The stats are in the full version, are you using the LITE?

Anyway I have a similar issue but have not gone through it too much to try to figure out what it is. If I edit a post the auto-link no longer is there it becomes regularly formatted text. The other issue I have noticed is if the same keyword is located on the page more than once it will only load once. Not 100% of the time though, could that be cache related?

Not asking for any support, I understand how you feel about it. I am just looking for an opinion more or less. I actually agree with the developers on it, how can we reasonably be so pro-free for all mods when the software we are modifying is $200. If the commercial developer gave the options we were looking for (and at time demand) from the start the first 3 pages of this thread would be null. I have paid for proper hacks and will continue if the time and effort has the script worth the small contribution for the time involved.

By the way The Geek, I am considering ummm... your other options. I am curious if you know of the other thing (trying not to get you in trouble here) would support customizable tool tip options such as what can be found here?

I am using the full version, but upgraded from the lite version
hence im asking here as i think sommat during the upgrade
didnt go to plan lol

I installed it on 3.5.3 and it "sometimes" works. When you first submit a post, it shows up with the links. When you refresh the page, they are gone. If you quick reply to the post with the missing links and quote it, they appear in the quote box. If you refresh it they are gone again. I have no idea what's going on here. Additionally I have one that persists and seems to work right, but around it in the same post are other words that should be links but are not.

They are all active (set to yes), I have tried setting the order to all zero and also to 0 1 2 3 4 5 to see if that would matter, I have rebuilt the post cache. What is going on here?

I know you're not supporting this "much", but I need something like this and I'm gonna end up paying for it apparently, because the Lite version doesn't work. If you can't explain to me why the Lite version doesn't work and the Pro version does, then why would I pay for the Pro version?

can you provide a URL for a page where refreshing makes the links vanish?

For me Bluefly and Yoox work in the 1st post, but not the rest. (refreshing makes no difference)

With GAL there is an option to prevent words appearing linked more than once. Do you have this on or off?

Refreshing only matters after you post a reply. For example, if I quote one of the posts containing 'bluefly' the quoted text will show up with a link, but then if I refresh the page the link is gone. From then on, it is gone.

The setting was blank, but I set it to 0 and no change.

I had a problem with double linked words

Like....you have Bluefly and when you hover over Bluefly it says
Shaop at Bluefly, this does not help your cause me dont think
as its trying to auto link the word Bluefly in the autolink message.....

Change it and see what happens...

Is this with a quick reply?
