[3.3][RC] Autolinks 1.3.9

Post by pierredu »

Extension Name: LMDI Autolinks
Author: Pierre Duhem

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.

Github repository:
https://github.com/pierrdu/lmdi_autolinks

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.

Yes... but the correct path about composer.json file is:
ext/lmdi/autolinks

Correct pierredu ?

This extension was coded using the glossary extension as a base. It seems that I didn't do all the necessary tidying. Thanks for pointing those spots.

What does this extension do?
In the ACP, you create pairs made of a term (a string) and an URL. When a post contains the term, the code replaces the term with a link to the URL. For instance, you have a term 'Ferrari' and a link 'http://www.ferrari.com/en_en/'. Whenever a poster writes ferrari in one post, the code adds a link to the site.

You're right.
I'm asking myself whether I really need a controller.
As I told before, this extension was coded using my former Glossary extension and there are still many remnants.
