Thread: Autolinks

  1. #1

    Default Autolinks

    There is a new software feature called an autolink.

    Basically I define a word, and if one of you post a word in your post, it automatically turns that word into a link as I have defined.

    The point of this is for a glossary, or advertising, or informational drill downs, things like that.

    Thus far, what I have done, is add a link for common vegetables to information on how to grow them.

    so if I type beets or carrots or zucchini it automatically makes them links (as you see).

    So, don't be alarmed if a link shows up in one of your posts.

    It won't do the same word twice on a page, so it shouldn't do beets the second time, but it should still be doing zucchini and butternut squash and dates and almonds and etc etc

    Maybe it will only do one link per page, not just one link per item listed? Chris try taking out beets in your first post and see if it will move to the next and make it a link.

    Edit: Never mind refreshed the page and now corn, pumpkins, strawberries, and grapes are showing for me.

    Nice going. I was going to use those words and you just hosed up everything. Now I have to go invent new words. Way to go.

    I think the software is imperfect. I might switch to a different version.
