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...

        static $replace; 
        static $settings; 
 
        $settings =& $this->settings; 
        $find   =& $settings['data']['text']; 
        $replace=& $settings['data']['replacement']; 
        $find[] = "|<!--GAL-->|"; 
        $replace[] = ""; 

        if ($settings['limit'] < 1) 
        { 
            $settings['limit'] = -1; 
        } 
        if ($find) 
        { 
            $text = preg_replace($find, $replace, " " . $text, $settings['limit']); 
        } 
        return $text; 
    } 


...and if you look at the link I gave above you'll see that all the posts are getting processed now. My PHP knowledge is limited though so I don't know what side affect this will have on the system.

You can also set the following to 0

$cached = 0;

This has the same effect as taking out the cahed statment.

Downside is it will hammer the server.
