Geek AutoLinker 4.0 RC2

This is a totally new version of the popular GAL3.0 system

Thread closed. Release is gold here -> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=76054


I am pretty cool that this package should be the final release. I have spent about 50 hours recoding this from the ground up but want a green light from you guys before I stick it in the current release thread.

In a nutshell this system replaces any keywords in posts with specific replacements (no, not like replacements in vb). It will do anything form simply link keywords all the way to produce poup boxes when doing a mouseover keywords.
The popups now support bbcode, html, multiple styles, titles, etc...

Other new features:
Track impressions, track hits, limit categories to certain forums, have usergroups toggle on.off certain forums, blahblahblahblah.

Basically its GAL 3 on Steroids.

O yea, the replacments are also a bit smarter

Upgrading:
From 2.6 and 3.0
Follow the install instructions in the readme. When you start up gal4_install.php, follow the upgrade path.
Please note that any replacement codes you added in 3.0 will go byebye. These are NOT your gal items... they are the global, category, or item level replacments that looked like something like this:
<a href="$link" title="$description">$text</a>

I would be shocked if anyone had more than 1 or 2 of these. If you modified them in any particular way - just copy them into notepad... run the install... then create new ones with the new system. REMEMBER: YOUR EXISTING GAL LINKS WILL BE PORTED SAFELY OVER!!!

Check out the extensive readme for details.

Question: has anyone of those fields in gal changed?

Do you mean the geek_autolink fields?
SOme have changed but I wouldnt think that any you used would have changed.

BTW: just found another typo but its minor so Ill wait till the next update to address it.

In settings, the throttle field always comes up blank. It is saving it - but it isnt displaying it in the settings (which means if its blank and you click save it will overwrite to 0).

Nothing major though.

odd bug... has it been talked about?

the forums dont save. only a few do.
even if I click all.

Also if I go into my Private messages this pops up:
Warning: Empty regular expression in /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/forums/includes/functions_gal.php on line 84

as you know line 84 is

PHP Code:

$gal_matches[$key]+=preg_match_all($find[$x],$text,$returned);

Just updated package to fix forum tick bug and the throttle typo.

T?media - grab the lastest package and just replace GAL_admin.php with the latest.

no more errors. That was fast! but the tick forum issue is still there.

got some javascript errors as well.
but I can see this will be awsome once this is cleared up.
