AutoLink Plugin for Movable Type

Hi Byrne,

This looks awesome. I built something a little like this for WordPress years ago (Link Linker) but this is so much nicer!

What does the plugin do if "Link All Occurences" is unchecked?

While I'm at it, an idea: add active/inactive status so we can turn links on/off w/o deleting them.

Very nice!

Suggestion, though perhaps outside the scope of AutoLink: fold the Acronym plugin's functionality into this. Being able to easily edit the list of linked words is Acronym's shortcoming, and this may be a good solution to that.

@dan - that's a great idea re: acronyms, though I'd want the acronyms in a separate, managable list.

@byrne - how does AutoLink track clicks right now? (I noticed the "clicks" column in the manager...

It's a great plugin! Thank you!

Hi,

I receive an error message each time I save a posting:

Can't call method "stash" on an undefined value at /var/www/internet/yvesluther-name/live/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/AutoLink/lib/AutoLink/Plugin.pm line 102.

Any help is welcome!

Hey Byrne--just noticed something odd: The "created" time for any autolink rule is four hours off.

I had a problem as Yves Luther, besides, this plugins can't create Chinese character link automatically, I am not mean Chinese URL, but Chinese tags.

Good hint from @jackie: Though my blog is UTF-8 I use those pesky German special chars.

Maybe this is a valuable information for Byrne. Is it?

weird. i'm getting this error.

Publish error in template 'list.tmpl': Error in tag: No MT object class for type 'autolinkrules'.

I get this when i select "autolink rules" - i'm running the latest beta5

I need to use expression entered in "Pattern" to assembly a part of "Destination URL".

Is there a possibility?

Fantastic plugin, Byrne. If you're taking feature requests, I'd love for this to work on comments, too. And have the ability for rules to only target comments and not body text.

thanks boy.it is a good plugin

Fantastic plugin, Byrne.

Byrne,

Is there a way to include a href title in links as well (same text as anchor text)?

Thanks for the great plugin, Byrne! Just installed in and looking forward to using it.

I've got following error when using batch edit:

Can't call method "stash" on an undefined value at /var/www/vhosts/futurelab.net/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/AutoLink/lib/AutoLink/Plugin.pm line 103.

On a single entry everything's fine.

Hi Byrne,

This is a very worthy successor to QuickLink. The interface is much, much cleaner and easier to manage.

But QuickLink had one functionality that AutoLink seems to lack (or maybe I'm missing something).

In QuickLink, I could do this:

Text to replace:

\bxBBCx\b

Link:

<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/" title="BBC" target="_blank">British Broadcasting Corporation</a>

What this allowed me to do was:

1. to expand a particular acronym used while writing ("BBC") to its full form ("British Broadcasting Corporation");

2. Add the URL

3. Specify a link title

4. specify a target window/frame

Is there any way to do that with AutoLink? I found that functionality incredibly useful.

Thanks,

Gautam

I'm getting the same Can't call method of "Stash" error as others.

Did anyone find a fix to this?

Very nice!

I'm having problem changing the display settings on the Autolink Rules page. I can set and save them but when the page redraws after the save the page appears the same and the settings are back to their defaults.

Any help would be appreciated. I would even be happy if someone could tell me how to tweak the database to alter the default 20 links per page to a bigger number.

Thanks - Neil

I love this plugin!

Is there anyway you can get AutoLink to work "globally". Instead of managing lists on individual blogs I could manage one master list and all blogs would use AutoLink?
