Automatic link generation

  • Hi,
    I’m just wondering if it’s possible to set up an internal link generator that parses posts and creates an automatic network of links in the blog. What I’m looking for is something like this:
    I post something about a video player like Media Player Classic for example, and talk about it in comparison to Video LAN, which I have talked about in another post. WITHOUT having to specify a link or anything, the generator superimposes a link to the original Video LAN post on the words in the Media Player Classic post.
    Is this kind of plugin/extension available, and if not, where can I get started making it?

  • You’ve got to specify something with regard to what you write being considered a link – else wp is going to link every letter isn’t it ?
    I don’t think this is quite it, but have a look here:

    Yes, I understand that problem. Somehow I would have to specify that the words are not ‘common’ english words but proper nouns, etc. I have the ability to program the logic if need be, but it might include using a data dictionary or testing for word repetition… ??
    Not exactly I care to do, but if I have to I will. Thanks for the link. ?? However, it is not quite what I’m looking for.

    Just an update: I’ve figured out that I can probably redirect the posting function in WordPress to a link generator that goes through the post and matches words with other, previous posts. I think I’ll make it so that you can specify which words will be used, and what will never be used, or just not be used for that post.
    If anybody wants to steal this idea, feel free. I don’t have all that much time for programming at the moment… ??
