    I have only added around half a dozen links to amazon and in after a month or so have made a few sales.

    My greatest problem is trying to make the links look as non intrusive and non distracting while reading the content. I wanted them distinct from regular hyperlinks so I have settled on just underlining the Amazon hyperlinks without a color change:

        I temporarily added é in the word héllo in my AutoLinker settings on this site. If that becomes a link then it works as long as I keep that word.

          Fleiding, it works here. What is your PHP version and also the HTML charset setting in AdminCP?

          glennrocksvb I'm running PHP 7.1.13 and using ISO-8859-1 as HTML charset.

          Can you try using UTF-8 as charset? If that doesn't work, try adding the character again, load a topic with that character, then check the error logs on the server.

          I switched to UTF-8 and it's working. However, I reverted to ISO-8859-1 as all special characters broke. When I switched back the links are still working, so all is well.

          Glad it's working now. It was odd it didn't work initially with the same charset.

        I am running into a problem with this. I originally had all my autolinks point to files in a separate directory inside the forum root folder and it worked fine.

        I have since moved all those documents to the "Help" module and changed all the links to the corresponding location. I see that it links correctly to the Help module, and displays the correct url in the browsers search box, but the page doesn't display the correct url, it appears to show the first document in the Help module, or the landing page.

        I suspect it may be a refresh issue with vBulletin, and not the mode since it points to the correct url.

        Thoughts? What else to look into?

          It's not coming anytime soon until vB implements some hooks it requires.

            glennrocksvb I think I've found a bug.

            I have the following set in my Admin CP:
            • Word 1
            • Word 2
            • Word 3
            When I write these words as "Word 1 & Word 2" the second word doesn't convert to a link, but if a write these words as "Word 1 and Word 2" it does work. If I place Word 2 above Word 1 in the Admin CP, Word 1 doesn't convert to a link. When I remove the "&" everything works as it should. This happens on all languages and charsets. ItIt happens

              I'll look into it. Thanks for reporting.

            It looks like this ampersand (&) issue occurred recently in the latest or last few versions. I have a 5.3.0 on my local and I can see this Autolinker mod works with & symbol in a word. I will investigate more what vBulletin had changed that affected this mod.

              Hi,

              I've downloaded vBulletin 5.4.1 and installed Autolinker module and it works fine. But in case of 5.2.2 it doesn't work. How can I fix this problem?

              Is it a compatability issue? Is there any possibility to fix it by changing any template or any core program?

              Thanks.

                I will check. But why don't you upgrade? 5.2.2 is no longer supported anyway. They will not release security patches on unsupported versions.

              Glenn, could you please check on something for me ... Here my AutoLinker Settings:
              Click image for larger version  Name:	Capture5.PNG Views:	1 Size:	420.7 KB ID:	10483

              it works for me for most links but for example here look at the last 2 posts in this thread:
              https://kasinoforum.com/forum/online...lege-mehr-habe
              Vera & John or Vera&John or Laplingo should all get linked according to my setting but they are not.



              Update: I copied Lapalingo to the top of my conversion list and now the link shows. However, there is nothing else in my conversion list that should interfere as far as I can tell

                This is the same issue that Fleiding reported in post #38. I haven't found a fix for it yet. For now use "and" instead of "&".

              Glenn, I came accross another minor issue with the script. In German we have some special letters such as ä ö ü .
              I tried to setup a link with a term containing such a letter

              Glück,http://abc.com

              The autolinker script will not replace this link but more importantly none of my other links will be replaced any more (the script will not work at all anymore) even if that link with the German letter ü is placed at the very end of my conversion list.

                PM sent with potential fix. Please let me know if this works and I'll release it officially. Thanks.

              germaninfl has confirmed my fix is working. But I need more tests for other text with umlauts to ensure it's 100% working in all cases. Fleiding or someone else who purchased this mod before, do you want to try? I will PM you the latest code.
