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 be really nice if it just replaced once per post or page....

[Qwest]

It would also be nice if there were a way to use wildcards....

Like if I wanted to link twitter profiles every time someone says @username

Doesn´t works on my 3.8.1pl1....

Update Addon?

[SimonVlc]

Stopped working for me after updating to 3.8.2.

Disable and reenable the product solved my problem.

Cheers, Simon.

It works great with one word, but I can't seem to replace a combination of words.

Someone used the example "poker stars", I can't do that. Should it work?

Would really like to see this mod enabled only for guests.

I used this add-on and also tried the Variable Replacement Manager on my forum, since I was only looking to replace text.

In either case, I can't figure out how to include a smiley as part of the replacement. Instead, it just shows exactly what I typed in the replacement text field. Is there a way to use a smiley as a replacement via this method?

Thanks in advance.
