Geek AutoLinker 4.0 RC2

This is a totally new version of the popular GAL3.0 system

Thread closed. Release is gold here -> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=76054


I am pretty cool that this package should be the final release. I have spent about 50 hours recoding this from the ground up but want a green light from you guys before I stick it in the current release thread.

In a nutshell this system replaces any keywords in posts with specific replacements (no, not like replacements in vb). It will do anything form simply link keywords all the way to produce poup boxes when doing a mouseover keywords.
The popups now support bbcode, html, multiple styles, titles, etc...

Other new features:
Track impressions, track hits, limit categories to certain forums, have usergroups toggle on.off certain forums, blahblahblahblah.

Basically its GAL 3 on Steroids.

O yea, the replacments are also a bit smarter

Upgrading:
From 2.6 and 3.0
Follow the install instructions in the readme. When you start up gal4_install.php, follow the upgrade path.
Please note that any replacement codes you added in 3.0 will go byebye. These are NOT your gal items... they are the global, category, or item level replacments that looked like something like this:
<a href="$link" title="$description">$text</a>

I would be shocked if anyone had more than 1 or 2 of these. If you modified them in any particular way - just copy them into notepad... run the install... then create new ones with the new system. REMEMBER: YOUR EXISTING GAL LINKS WILL BE PORTED SAFELY OVER!!!

Check out the extensive readme for details.

i have this warning message showing consistantly when i click Display in Admin CP.:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /admincp/GAL_admin.php on line 1146


Is there anyway, where i have no need to enter an url e.g. if the link is to be used as a Glossary, i need no link but just the yellow box coz if leave the link option blank i am shown the "pants" :nervous: message ??

Best Regards

Ill remove the url check. Just put anything in for now.

Make sure you have your styles and replacements entered as per the readme. The error is most likely caused because you are missing one of those.

Updated to 4RC2.

IMPORTANT: You MUST read the README!!! At the bottom is the instructions to upgrade from rc1x to rc2.

New additions:
Width property for popup (200 is a good figure)
Stats enhanced
Bugs squashed
New box style property - allows you to have a solid style instead of 2.

Geek there is a problem. When I make the edit in vbulletin_menu.js and upload it (RC2) the menu's in navbar are not working. When i uploaded the old backup they start to work. Here is my vbulletin_menu.js maybe i did a worng file edit :

var vbmenu_usepopups = true;
var vbmenu_registered = new Array();
var vbmenu_initialized = new Array();
var vbmenu_activemenus = new Array();
var vbmenu_currentactive = false;
var slidetimer = false;
var vbmenu_opensteps = 10;
var vbmenu_doslide = true;
var vbmenu_dofade = false; // can be very slow

var vbmenu_datefields = new Array();
function GAL_popup(e,offset,width, box_style, value,value_style, title, title_style){
    if (!offset){
    	offset=1;
    }
    var leftpx = fetch_object_posleft(e);
	var toppx = fetch_object_postop(e) + e.offsetHeight;
	var dest=fetch_object("GALBox");

    toppx=toppx-offset;

    //value=value.replace(/
/g,'<br />');
    //title=title.replace(/
/g,'<br />');
    dest.style.left = leftpx + "px";
    dest.style.top = toppx + "px";

    if (width){
    	width=" Width='" + width + "' ";
    }

    var innerhtml="<table border='0' cellpadding='5' cellspacing='0' " + box_style + width + "><tr><td ";

    if (title){
    	innerhtml=innerhtml + title_style + "'>" + title + "</td></tr><tr><td ";
    }
    innerhtml= innerhtml + value_style + "'>" + value + "</td></tr></table>";

    dest.innerHTML=innerhtml;
    //alert(innerhtml);
    if ((window.document.body.clientWidth-dest.offsetWidth)<leftpx){
        leftpx=window.document.body.clientWidth-dest.offsetWidth;
        dest.style.left = leftpx + "px";
    }
	dest.style.visibility='visible';

}

function GAL_hidepopup(){
 fetch_object("GALBox").style.visibility='hidden';

}
// #############################################################################
// another function to handle the different event models of different browsers

Didn't paste the rest cause it was not needed.

Hey geek some forums are breaking up weird... check it out.

i recently was talkin to a girlfriend of mine who had went on a first Dating Ideas", "border-top: 1px solid black;border-left: 1px solid black;border-right: 1px solid black;background: #CCCCCC;padding: 1px;font: 8pt;font-weight: bold;color: #000000;", "0");' onmouseout='GAL_hidepopup();'> date with this guy she met.

Guys - in your vbulletin_menu.js file.... remove these lines:

PHP Code:

    //value=value.replace(/\n/g,'<br />');
    //title=title.replace(/\n/g,'<br />'); 


To see if that helps. If so then ill update the package. It looks like that line went screwy. Doesnt matter anyway as they are no longet needed.

[The Geek]

t3media - did you do the changes required in the readme to update from rc1 to rc2?

That solved the menu problem for me but now the pop up is not working. If you want to check here Tom Waits is auto linked but pop up is not working.

There is a typo in the readme.

Re: the popup replacement codes (the one with a title and the one with no title). Edit them and change:

"$gal_box_style" "$gal_description",

to

"$gal_box_style","$gal_description",

Then click debug->rebuild
