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...

There shouldnt be any issues with upgrading from Lite to pro aside from the extra options your LITE GALs will get once you install the PRO version.

Hi,

Running 3.5 Gold. Imported the product and added the files.

When I try to add an item, I get the following SQL error:

Little help please?

Why does the replacement text get replaced with the Title of the GAL? I just want the word to be the same, but underlined...

[The Geek]

It should only link the actual word... not replace with the title.

Any idea what I could be doing wrong then?

Installed and clicked install.
Working great! Thank you for this!
Will test drive for a few and then purchase pro.
Excellent!

Brilliant, exactly what I was looking for to create Wikipedia-style links. And just to be helpful, here's how it's done.

Demo: http://www.forumwhatever.co.uk/showp...89&postcount=3

Nice and easy to do, instead of the provided CSS, use this:

/* Gallery Links */
a.gal:link {
padding:0 0 0 12px;
background:url(images/misc/exlink.gif) no-repeat 0;
}
a.gal:visited {
padding:0 0 0 12px;
background:url(images/misc/exlink.gif) no-repeat 0;
}
a.gal:hover {
padding:0 0 0 12px;
background:url(images/misc/exlinkon.gif) no-repeat 0;
}

And put appropriate link icons in the directory you want, linking to them in the CSS. You can forgo the hover part of the CSS if you don't want a hover effect, but you must keep visited or the image won't show up on visited links.

Thanks for that. I really really like that little shortcut image. Can I steal it?

[TygerTyger]

Well I just stole them from Wikipedia lol. But yeah, someone's bound to use them. Add them and the CSS in with the main zip if you like, whatever.

Anyone know why the Replacement Text word is replaced by the Title of the GAL on my forum?

Also, the ignore thread option doesn't seem to work either...
