New Auto Links plugin

  • Hey all,
    I wrote my first plugin, and it’s called Auto Links. It is based on Kidder’s Link Definer plugin, but has more functionality.

    Auto Links turns keywords in your post for popular websites into links automatically for you. So if you use Yahoo in a post, Auto Links makes a link of it. Unlike the original Link Definer plugin, Auto Links will only do this once for each keyword. It would be over kill to turn every reference to Yahoo in your post into a link.

    Also this plugin lets you put a graphic next to each link. You can use the one that comes with Auto Links or use your own, or turn it off altogether. You can also control which window the
    link will open in, be it the parent window or blank window, or whatever you want.

    You can get it here:

    It’s still in beta, but so far it seems to be working well. I need to make a admin panel for it, I know that. But any other feedback would be great!

    blakekr,
    Hmm, that’s strange. Possibly a limit in the size of the DB field that I hadn’t considered. The actual data is in the wp_options table. Look for the rows that have “autolinks” in them. This shouldn’t be an issue with the next version, as it will use it’s own tables for keyword storage.

    Howdy people,
    An announcement page has been setup that describes some of the new features that will be found in v0.95, which is coming out this month. You can view the page at:

    https://autolinks.headzoo.com

    Some of the new features are:

    * Designed and tested on WordPress v2.0.
    * Multilingual administration menu. Now Auto Links supports English, Chinese, Spanish, Korean, German, French, and Portuguese.
    * A completely overhauled keyword management page. This version uses the incredible ActiveWidgets Grid for ease of use.
    * Improved keyword tracking and statistics. No more strange and long URLs while using keyword tracking.
    * Keyword tracking RSS feed. Get your tracking logs as a password protected RSS feed.
    * Alerts you of an available update. As soon as an update is available on headzoo.com, Auto Links will let you know.
    * Custom field settings override. Override global settings on a post-by-post basis using the WordPress custom fields. You can also tell Auto Links to completely ignore a post.
    * JavaScript descriptions. The keyword’s description will appear in a floating layer that pops up next to the keyword when a visitor places their mouse pointer over the link. The layer remains there for a second after the mouse pointer is moved away.
    * AJAXafied admin panel to speed up managing your keywords.
    * Keyword plugin module system.

    The keyword plugin module system is going to be the most exciting new feature. New affiliate programs can be easily added to Auto Links, which means more ways for bloggers to make money. ??

    Howdy all,
    Version 1.0RC1 of aLinks (the name has been changed from Auto Links to aLinks) is being released very soon. Until then I’m looking for beta testers to give the plugin a good beating, and smoke out any bugs. I want to begin beta testing sometime this weekend.

    If anyone is interested in being a beta tester, and getting your hands on the next version before anyone else, just drop me a line here. Please include the version of WordPress and PHP you’re using. Beta testers will be listed in the documentation, along with their website URL.

    Thanks!
