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 0.91: Limit the number of links created per keyword per post.
• New in 0.92: Use CSS to customize the look of links created by this mod.
• New in 0.93: Linked words now retain the same case as they were originally typed. Also a new option to specify whether linked words are case sensitive or not.
• New in 0.935: Fixed conflict with VBSEO and possibly other mods. Upgrade if you are having problems.
• New in 0.94: Made the "Custom CSS" an option to prevent unnecessary HTML if not needed.
• New in 0.95: Enable or disable in PMs.
• New in 0.96: Should fix conflicts with AME3 mod, restores same case change in 0.93.
• New in 1.0: Additional code to prevent unintended linking. No new features.
• New in 1.1: Set approximate number of max links per page.
• 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.

iso-8859-1 dont show-up links for me

im using ěščřž???? chars..

i found ISO-8859-2 is not supported in htmlspecialchars() function: http://php.net/manual/en/function.htmlspecialchars.php

Please any idea how to replace (htmlentities?) that function or safelly skip it so this Word Links plugin works with that charset?

functions_bop_wordlinks.php CODE:

//    $bopfind = preg_quote (htmlspecialchars($bopfind));
      define('CHARSET', 'ISO-8859-2');
      define('REPLACE_FLAGS', ENT_COMPAT | ENT_XHTML);  
      $bopfind = preg_quote (htmlspecialchars($bopfind,REPLACE_FLAGS, CHARSET));

iso-8859-1 dont show-up links for me

I'm sorry I can't support non-latin character sets, I just don't know how they work.

But looking at the description you could just try replacing htmlspecialchars with htmlentities in the code- the function should work the same way,

OK, htmlentities is not going to work then.

Create a new plugin on the global_bootstrap_init_start hook with an execution order of 3.

Code:

function bop5htmlspecialchars ($t)
{
   $find[0] = '<';
   $find[1] = '>';
   $replace[0] = '&lt;';
   $replace[1] = '&gt;';
   return str_replace ($find, $replace, $t);
}

Then in the other plugin replace htmlentities and replace with bop5htmlspecialchars

well as per htmlentities() description, it do NOT support czech charsets (ISO 8859-2, Windows-1250, UTF-8)
only UTF-8, but im unsure why then links are not added to words when they contain some of ě?čř????? characters.. so there is no way to modiffy

//    $bopfind = preg_quote (htmlspecialchars($bopfind));
      define('CHARSET', 'ISO-8859-2');
      define('REPLACE_FLAGS', ENT_COMPAT | ENT_XHTML);  
      $bopfind = preg_quote (htmlspecialchars($bopfind,REPLACE_FLAGS, CHARSET));

or any other part of the code so it work?

[BirdOPrey5]

I'm afraid as I said earlier I am not able to support non-English languages, sorry, I just don't know how PHP works when not using the letters I am familiar with. Maybe someone else had an idea.
