Brief Description:
This plugin/module combo will allow you to specify keywords for your site that can be dynamically hyperlinked when the page is loaded.

I can update a keyword with a new value but can’t alter the keyword itself. It must be deleted and set new. Updating keyword itself would be nice.

What’s about a glossary function based on autolink keywords? Should be a checkbox "glossary" in the autolink module to put this keyword by a new snippet/plugin(?) to a glossary in alphabetically order with keyword-value relation. I think there is a greater demand?

Agreed! I’m sure when I coded the module the first time round there was some zany reason not to do it ... but seeing as it’s not coming back to me, it couldn’t have been too good a reason

A glossary snippet is on my list of ’things I want to do but haven’t got round to do yet’ ... it would be easy to integrate into Autolink (by using a template function). My priority is to rectify the major bugs that have been reported since the last release and to finish off the new-look module that has been half-completed for far too long now.

When those changes are done, I will look at the glossary snippet.

Ok, let’s wait ...

For interest: I posted a modifikation of autolink here: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,5641.0.html Now it’s more flexible for my requirements.

Please add that modification as an extra to the resource... that’s what we made the feature for!

@rthrash: sorry for my confusion. Should I do that? And where?

Go to the Resource page for Autolink, then click the Add New Extra link at the top. This is a great place to add in hacks, mods, tweaks and alternate implementations for resources.

Thanks for your help. Now I know what to do

Forgive me if this question is basic...what changes can I make for this to validate properly?

First check wether the MODUL autolink is started. And: you must have both module and plugin implemented.

Was my first error too, the module was implemented except that is was not started. After starting the module the autolink tag will be rendered away and your page validates.
