Text Replacement Links

====================
Author: Ken 'LiveWire' Iovino
Site: www.vBhacks.us
Version: 1.1
====================

Updates

• No longer will phrase the the link if the letters are being used. (Example) If google is one of my TextLinks, and a member post "I just got googlefied" It will not link it.
• Mass Amounts of Queries per post fixed. This bug fixed by Kentaurus
• No longer Case Sensitive. This bug fixed by nexialys

Huge Thanks
I have to give a huge thanks to the following members that have helped me get this hack where it is now. Xenon, Kentaurus, nexialys, Geographic2, and lewekleonek. Thank you guys very much!

What this does
This will allow you to specified any text you add to automatically turn into a link when your members post the word. For example, you go to the ACP and add the word 'google' to the list and then you add the 'url' to googles website, and anytime a member post the word google, it will automatically turn it into a link. See screenshots for example.


To do list...

• Time to install: 3-5 minutes
• Queries to run: 1
• File Mods: 2
  • /admincp/index.php
  • /includes/functions_bbcodeprase.php
• Templates to edit: 0
• Templates to add: 0
• New Phrases: 14

Please read carefully and make all the necessary changes as stated. This is will work if installed properly.

Still not working for me.

Exactly installed in 3.03 as described but not working.

[HarryBO]

Still not working for me,too!

I installed but then used what Kentaurus posted and it works on highly modified vb 3.0.0

I also solved your www.google.com problem.

Simply search for <space>Google<space> which will insure you wouldn't replace subwords as well for example Googleicous...

So look for " Google " instead of "Google"

Kentaurus's code with my small addition to check for spaces before and after the word and add a space before and after the replacement:

PHP Code:

static $customReplaceInit = false; 
        static $findtext = array(); 
        static $replacetext = array(); 

    if (!$customReplaceInit) 
    { 
            $textlinks = $DB_site->query(" SELECT text, link FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "textlink"); 
            while($link = $DB_site->fetch_array($textlinks)) 
            { 
                    $findtext[] = " ".$link['text']." "; 
                    $replacetext[] = " [url=" . $link['link'] . "]" . $link['text'] . "[/url] "; 
            } 
        $customReplaceInit = true; 
    } 

        $bbcode = str_replace($findtext, $replacetext, $bbcode); 


This works for me at Giant Vegenetics

Sample word: Pumpkin
Pending full implementation with Wiki...


I plan to connect it to my WIKI for a very nice feature. Encylopedic knowledge injected directly into the threads. Sweet.

Kentarus's with n*****?'s idea, Using case insensitive preg_replace and checking for spaces to avoid the www.google.com problem.

PHP Code:

static $customReplaceInit = false; 
        static $findtext = array(); 
        static $replacetext = array(); 

    if (!$customReplaceInit) 
    { 
            $textlinks = $DB_site->query(" SELECT text, link FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "textlink"); 
            while($link = $DB_site->fetch_array($textlinks)) 
            { 
                    $findtext[] = "/\s".$link['text']."\s/i"; 
                    $replacetext[] = " [url=" . $link['link'] . "]" . $link['text'] . "[/url] "; 
            } 
        $customReplaceInit = true; 
    } 

        $bbcode=preg_replace($findtext, $replacetext, $bbcode);

can this main install file be updated so we can just install straight from your first post

[Jolten]

Still not working here. But I think it's got something to do the the admin only html hack I've got installed.

[Prince]

I concur this hack does not work.

[Geographic2]

*sigh*
I disagree this hack does work - IF you follow the changes given by various people to the original unmaintained install file.

Proof positive: http://www.giantvegenetics.com

Give it a try. Use the word pumpkin in a post. Please use the AI Growbot Garden Teahouse forum for your test.

PHP Code:

User: VB Guest
PW: dotorg 


Follow the install file directions. Then make the changes I described in either of the code blocks I posted on Page 3 of this thread, use the first one if you want it case sensitive, use the second one to ignore case sensitivity.

so it only works if you go thru this thread and try and figure out all of the additional changes that others have made? to me that means this thing needs to go back to the beta forum or the hack developler needs to update his instructions. I should not have to read thru a thread and guess which additional changes need to be made to the code to make the hack work, that is silly.
