Mini Mods - vBaffiliate Links

Description:

This modification will replace a list of words with a list of words/links you define.
I use it to create links to affiliate programs using words from the posts, but can be used as a simple text replacement.

Tested With:

• vBulletin 3.6.9
• vBulletin 3.7.0 RC 3

Changes:

• [v1.1.0]
  • Added vBadvanced News module support
  • Option for case sensitive
  • Option for removing space before & after
  • Link mask for link replacement
  • Can be used as a simple text replacement (without Link mask)
  • Code simplification for expanding propose
• [v1.0.1] Issue with vB 3.7.0 RC3
• [v1.0.0] First Release.

Installation & Upgrade Instructions:

Upload the product & configure the settings for the product vBaffiliate Links.

Notes:

This doesn't work with highlight text when searching yet ...
[s]The replacement is case sensitive.
The replacement process will only replace word between spaces.[/s]
From v1.1.x you can use the Link mask as a standard way to define your links.
This mod will only work with PHP5.
If someone would like to help, the credit will be given and I'll appreciate.

Place one word per line in the first box and one word/link per line in the second box.

It's a shame, but is this mod over with? Is there an alternative?

[plusev]

I would really like to replace words at the beginning of sentences, but I do not want to turn of the "add space before" option.

I have looked at the code and cannot see a quick solution for this problem. Is it something you have looked into yourself? Maybe I can help?

A sollution with regular expression would do it --> preg_replace could be an option perhaps?

Please email me if you wish to persue this option.

I installed this on my forum but it caused the following error:

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/includes/functions_forumlist.php(393) : eval()'d code on line 55

(That was repeated 19 times on my forumhome, so I had to disable it.)

3.7.2 the latest

php says that it cannot find the function the vbaffiliate plugin is trying to use...

I think the plugin did not install correctly. Did you try an uninstall/reinstall?

I use 3.7.2 as well, but have no problems.

are u using any other plugins that influence posts?
