Miscellaneous Hacks - Word Links FREE (Turn words into links) by BOP5

Brought to you by BirdOPrey5 / Qapla.com

Thank You for voting this June 2011 Mod of the Month!!!

The purpose of this mod is to automatically turn keywords or phrases you specify into links. You set a list of keywords and a list of URLs to link them to and let the mod do the rest.

This is the FREE Version. It allows you to auto-link words in:

• Posts/Threads
• Private Messages
• Visitor Messages
• Social Groups

The GOLD Version is available at Qapla.com It allows auto-linking words in:

• Posts/Threads
• Private Messages
• Visitor Messages
• Social Groups
• Picture Comments
• Blog Entries
• Blog Comments
• CMS Articles
• CMS Comments

Live Demo at Qapla.com.

There are many options as you can see in the screenshot. You can choose to include the "nofollow" attribute, choose to open links in a new tab, choose to match whole words only or not, specify specific forums, enable in social groups and visitor messages, and disable completely for selected usergroups or styles.

Version: 2.0

• New in 1.2: Fixed bug when Ampersands (&) were used in keywords.
• New in 1.3: Added optional notice on posts with links and associated phrase.
• New in 1.5: Two new features: 1) You can now use a csv data file for your links (and advanced features) if you prefer and 2) You can use a custom user profile field to allow users to disable the mod individually if you choose.
• New in 1.5a: Updated German language file thanks to Igel1.
• New in 1.6: Fixed bug if keyword was part of thread title and thread title was a link in the post. (VB4 Only)
• New in 1.7: Added field to extend the regex easily through the mod settings. Included fix for bold/font color links.
• New in 2.0: Rewritten more efficient code. Added option to disable by styleid. Added GOLD version.

Example... If someone types:

"I bought it on Amazon."

This mod can auto convert it to:

"I bought it on Amazon."

And you would presumably put your Amazon affiliate code, if you had one, in the link.

NOTE: This mod does not alter the actual posts or the database. Disabling or uninstalling the mod will remove all links.

There is a VB3 and VB4 version of this mod, please download the correct version.

Full instructions in zip file.

Notice:
Since the following words are used in HTML tags I would avoid them as keywords:
style, div, class, pre, href, img, html, meta, name, rel, nofollow, and link.

I would also avoid any single letter or two letter keywords since they could easily be used accidentally in places you weren't intending.

Haha, sorry, I put this in Spanish haha. In English it is:

"I have located the words that cause problems"

To answer your question:

ISO-8859-1

Thank you

OK, now is your database latin or utf8? If utf8 is the utf8 line enabled in your config.php file?

Also- Are links stored in a csv file or directly in the mod settings data boxes?

Hi.

I'm trying to move my forum to a new server with php 5.4 and I'm getting this error when the product is disabled (running 4.2.1)

mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 1073741824 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 576656709 bytes) ..... line 135

Any ideas?
Thanks.

This is the line which causes the error:

$bop_message = preg_replace ($bop_find_array, $bop_replace_array, $bop_message, $boplim, $bopcount);

After removing all Greek words from Words/Phrases To Link everything works ok.
So this is a combination of non-English characters with php 5.4?

[nektar]

As of php 5.4 default encoding for htmlspecialchars is UTF-8.
So if your forum is in another encoding (like ISO-8859-1 which is mine) then you will have all the above problems.
The solution is to use your encoding with htmlspecialchar:

First Define your encoding:

PHP Code:

define('CHARSET', 'ISO-8859-1');
define('REPLACE_FLAGS', ENT_COMPAT | ENT_XHTML); 


And then replace

PHP Code:

$bopfind = preg_quote (htmlspecialchars($bopfind)); 


with

PHP Code:

$bopfind = preg_quote (htmlspecialchars($bopfind,REPLACE_FLAGS, CHARSET));

hi. thanks for this mod, it is exactly what i was looking for.
my forum is in utf8 and users type their posts in Hebrew.

the mod works fine with english words but i cant make it work on hebrew words.

the language is in ut8 and also the db.

can you please advise what to do?

[Marv]

What really come in handy would be some sort of stats, that show how often a keyword has been turned into a link. Any chance that this could be added, Ozzy?

Ummm, not sure, as this is BOP's mod not mine.
