Re: [request] Who can share a plugins eg: autolinks?

With share you possible mean to “make”. I could do it, in theory but I’m too busy at the moment. As far as I know, there isn’t autolinking plugin for Textpattern – yet. You can ofcourse use some of those Javascript widgets that some index/search providers provide, plus then it will be completely automatic.

The pros and cons about that autolinking system;

  1. It can not be real live updating, but instead, it should be cached. That means that the links are saved in the article and generated while article is beeing saved.
  2. That fact is because the page loading speed. Parsing 1000 words would take some time, time that can not be wasted from visitors.
  3. Does visitor like autolinks? Most likely not, in example i hate magizines that link ebay products while talking about how much PSP CRS is being improved.

It could be admin-side plugin, when at some tab you can choose which word from articles will link somewhere. But it must update Body field, then launch textile parsing to update then Body_html field. And, i think, it should output possible replacments to confirm replacement.

This plugin, i want to say, is rather intersing idea :) Thought about it several times.
