Support/Comments for Autolink

Is there a way to limit the number of times a particular word is linked within each post?

Just didn’t want some of my pages to look too spammy, though I guess I could just rephrase things if I have to.

Thanks,

Hi Garry,

what about improvements with Autolink? My problem with performance will go away next days because I change the host. There was no other way to get better performance with the php-db connection. It fails many times.

Now I will use Autolink again for abbr, acronym, dfn and language marking. What I must change in plugin/module to have this function working in links/menus? I don’t need the implemented link functions. Maybe it’s better to split AutoLink to an original version and an additional version working only for abbr, acronym, dfn and so on? And for this version deleting the original linking function? What do you mean?

Performance problems gone away. It works with high speed. Now I need a solution working inside links/menus. What must I change in the plugin code?

Ok, found and uncommented the corresponding lines in module.

@Garry: now I have about 130 keywords in Autolink and I see a little delay (3 or 4 seconds) building up a page. Is there a way to improve performance with more keywords?
And second: is it possible to limit the marking of acronyms to the first appearance at a page?

I’ve managed to make this module work on one site... and can’t on two others.
I’ve check every step in installation instructions and still no links. Thought 0.9.6 has somethind to do with it, but no - a 0.9.5 system refuses to make links either.

The module (or plugin) removes <autolink> tag for sure, but it does not generate links. What could be the case?

UPD: I guess I found the problem:
Both sites use utf-8 encoding and are cyrillic, and if I make a numeric or latin keyword - the links are generated correctly.
So what do I do now? Is there a way to modify the module to be compatible with this encoding...or (no no no) I have to modify DB fields / collation?

Definitely a problem with UTF-8 and the regular expression matching - looks like I need to force the regular expression to use UTF-8 for those keywords that are in multi-byte encodings but still keep the existing matching in place for keywords that use single-byte encodings.

Seems like forcing UTF-8 for the regular expression can be done with a simple /u modifier on the regular expression, I just need to figure the best way of combining that with the existing matching that is in place.

Oh, and this won’t need any DB/collation changes on your part - I’m aiming to get this module working on how encodings etc. without any changes such as that having to be made by the module user.

Hi Garryn,

I’ve faced an issue with the module.
I’ve got in my keywords list some expression which contains some of the keywords.
For instance : "translation" is included in "on line translation".
So the plugin does not match the "on line translation" keyword, the "translation" keyword is replaced first.

I’ve found a quick and dirty work around but seems to work for my purpose.
I’ve only changed one line in the plugin code around line 146




:-)

is there a way to get linked words to appear in "_blank" (a new broweser wind) ?

that would rool

I don’t know what I am missing but I can’t seem to get this to autolink my links

I have a few instances of http://www.domain.com and they don’t render as links.

Can anyone provide some guidance?

Thanks

Hey,

First of all nice module, just what I needed

I was just wondering is this module is still in development or is it released under another name?

I am asking this because I just installed it under the MODx 0.9.6.3 release and there are some minor bugs with it,
for example:

- The cancel button isn’t rendered as the rest of the MODx module, and you might wanna call it "close" instead of cancel

Some suggestions
- Might wanna change the interface a bit by:
-- Adding a column that shows if a keyword is a abbreviation or acronym;
-- Adding a column that shows a delete / update button after each keyword;
-- Maybe it would be cool to show abbreviations or acronyms in a different tab.
- Might wanna change the coding base a bit:
-- Like the doc manager it might be nice to provide a lang directory so people can submit translated files to include in the module by default.
- Might wanna add a installer that will auto install the module + plugin.
- Might wanna consider removing some old pages (searching autolink gives you 5 versions )

hopefully this helps a bit bringing the module back to life

Thanks in advanced.

Grz,
