About Developer · **Released**: 03-24-2010

AutoLinker Lite is a keyword linker for vBulletin 3.7 upwards, 4.x, and vBulletin CMS. It allows the webmaster to configure particular words or phrases as keywords, which will then be automatically linked when they appear in user posts. As well as being hyperlinked, keywords can have pop-over info boxes, as in the image below:

These info boxes are highly configurable (colours, borders, fade in/fade out effect etc), and can contain html - meaning you can embed images, videos etc. Balloon-style boxes are also supported.

AutoLinker Lite has a flexible permissions system, allowing you to control which forums a given link appears in, and which usergroups it is visible too.

This is a free version of a commercial product, and contains a limit on the number of AutoLinks that you may create. Other than that, it is fully functional.

Please note that AutoLinks in the CMS do not work in vBulletin 4.0.0 and 4.0.1. 4.0.2 and upwards are fine.

We have this installed on our forum at consumeractiongroup.co.uk
We are still using vBulletin 3.8 but are planning a move to v.4 - in fact we have already bought the software

.
We are a very large forum and depend very heavily on an auto-link system. We couldn't contemplate upgrading our forum without. We were previously using the Geek system and it was very useful but of course won't work with vBulletin v.4.

AutoLinker includes a conversion routine which allowed us to convert all of our links to the new system in just a few seconds. We didn't have to rework everything.

After various teething problems - which have all been resolved, AutoLinker is working brilliantly. We are a free forum run by volunteers and this auto link system saves hours of repetitive explanations and definitions. Also we have configured some of the AutoLink style templates to generate affiliate links whenever someone types a keyword or a keyword string into their post.

We have thousands of these auto links working with no discernible effect on performance.

We will now soon be completing our vB v.4 upgrade. :up:

You can visit us to see it working if you want.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
