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...

GAL Pro was also just updated to a new version the other day.

Any update on this?

Im actually in middle of an update again for the PRO version - when thats done, ill update the relevant bits. However I have found the ordinal issue

Could you add an option that hyperlinks the selected words not just in the final post but also in the preview? I'm sure it's just a small change but I haven't figured it out yet.

The Geek doesn't care about black people.

I don't want to get offtopic here...

I certainly appreciate any work you do tho.

Hello,

Since christmas is near, i'll do a wish

But first: Great piece of work, installed it and I'm (almost) happy!

I read it is not possible to replace more than one word at a time. No chance to overcome this? And as far as I can see, "&" (as in "Bed&Breakfast") will not work, either.

Next issue: In the manual I read "Title: The name of the link (this is for descriptive purposes and for popup headers)". This is definitely not true for the lite version (at least the one running on my board). The text I enter here will replace the text found in the post.

Yours,
Sven

I have not installed this yet (doing that this afternoon), but I just wanted to say this is such a fantastic mod! I'm going to start with lite just to test it out, then I'll probably upgrade to the pro. Thank you very much for sharing this with us!

Does this add the links at post time?

Or does it add them at view time? (hopefully not)
