Extension Description: Autolinks for phpBB 3.3.x
Extension Version: 1.3.9
Features:
This extension is a minimalist port of MODs for 3.0.x. The extension manages a table with terms and URLs and replace automatically the terms with clickable links.
Extension Download: https://github.com/pierrdu/lmdi_autolin ... master.zip
History: this extension was ported from a MOD called Autolink 1.0.3, whose author doesn't have plans to port the code himself. There is also another comparable MOD called Th23 Autolinks. This extension doesn't allow multiple URLs for a single term with selected rates of insertion.
Installation:
1. Download the latest release.
2. Unzip the downloaded release, and change the name of the folder to `autolinks`.
3. In the `ext` directory of your phpBB board, create a new directory named `lmdi` (if it does not already exist).
4. Copy the `autolinks` folder to `/ext/lmdi/`.
5. Navigate in the ACP to `Customise -> Manage extensions`.
6. Look for `LMDI Autolinks` under the Disabled Extensions list, and click its `Enable` link.
Uninstallation:
1. Navigate in the ACP to `Customise -> Extension Management -> Extensions`.
2. Look for `LMDI Autolinks` under the Enabled Extensions list, and click its `Disable` link.
3. To permanently uninstall, click `Delete Data` and then delete the `/ext/lmdi/autolinks` folder.

Utilisation:
The extension exploits data pairs which have to be entered in the ACP. In the ACP, tab Extensions, select Autolinks. The extension displays an empty table and, above, a link to add a term. Click on it. In the entry form, type a word or a phrase in the upper entry zone, like
Ferrari. The extension is not case sensitive. Below, in the URL entry zone, type an URL, like http://www.ferrari.com/en_en/.Do it again for more entries. When finished, go to the board index an open a test topic. In the post, type any text and, within the text, one or several of the words you gave in. For instance
I drive a Ferrari.. Save and look at the result. The word Ferrari is now a link to the Ferrari Web site.This is how it works. Simple, but powerful. The use depends clearly on what your forum is or does.
