Have you ever used the "Replacement variable manager" in your Admin CP / Styles?

You can do this stuff with that. For example you can set it to replace all occurrences of the word "Amazon" with <a href="http://www.amazon.com">Amazon</a> so they'd become links.

Thank You. Its working but adding meta descripiton in header.

Look at screen:


And second problem - this replace all "Alfa Romeo 156", including this words in topic name and navbar.

How to fix it?

ahhh yeah I see... Unfortunately if using replacement variables they will work everywhere, I guess I didn't have "Amazon" in my header at the time.

You could do a custom plugin on the hook postbit_display_complete

with php code:

PHP Code:

$find = 'amazon';
$replace = '<a href="http://www.amazon.com">Amazon</a>';
$post['message'] = str_ireplace ($find, $replace, $post['message']); 


That will replace all instances of "amazon" irregardless of case in posts ONLY and replace with the link.

There are various ways of coding this but the easiest is just to copy and paste additional lines for as many sites as you have, such as:

PHP Code:

$find = 'amazon';
$replace = '<a href="http://www.amazon.com">Amazon</a>';
$post['message'] = str_ireplace ($find, $replace, $post['message']);

$find = 'ebay';
$replace = '<a href="http://www.ebay.com">Ebay</a>';
$post['message'] = str_ireplace ($find, $replace, $post['message']);

$find = 'woot';
$replace = '<a href="http://www.woot.com">WOOT</a>';
$post['message'] = str_ireplace ($find, $replace, $post['message']); 


... and so on...

This could be an interesting mod- is the only one out there really that buggy?

[eh69]

Thank You very much! I didnt know that its simple!

But I have one problem.

when I set:

$find = 'Alfa Romeo 156';
$replace = '<a href="http://www.forum.alfaholicy.org/156/">Alfa Romeo 156</a>';
$post['message'] = str_ireplace ($find, $replace, $post['message']);

$find = 'Alfa 156';
$replace = '<a href="http://www.forum.alfaholicy.org/156/">Alfa 156</a>';
$post['message'] = str_ireplace ($find, $replace, $post['message']);

$find = '156';
$replace = '<a href="http://www.forum.alfaholicy.org/156/">156</a>';
$post['message'] = str_ireplace ($find, $replace, $post['message']);

Then Alfa 156 and Alfa Romeo 156 dont showing corectly (because in one phrase I have 2 links)

I can fix it with simple IF php function?

EDIT
And how fix it:

I have 2 replace for Alfa Romeo's models:
Alfa Romeo GT
Alfa Romeo GTV

And this script replace only 'Alfa Romeo GT' in phrase 'Alfa Romeo GTV' too

[BirdOPrey5]

Yes that would complicate things. I'll see if I can work on a solution.

Getting everything to work as expected actually turned out to be pretty challenging but I think I've got all the bugs worked out.

I have released it as a mod here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=263699
