PHP code for making certain words links ?

Hi

I have a vbulletin forum and I want all of one type of of word to show as a link, like intellitext but I don't want to do it through them.

For example, every time the word "cat" shows up it will link to a website I have defined which is abouts cats, idially with alt text which will work for ie + firefox.

Can any one tell me the php code for this ?

Thanks
Regards,
Mike

 

I don't have the answer but it sounds interesting and useful - I'll be watching for an answer

str_replace($string,"cat","<a href='pageaboutcats'>cat</a>");

 

Thanks for the reply rb3m =)

I don't suppose you are familiar with invision board code enough to tell me where exactly this goes in the code ?

Also do you know the code to add alt text which will work for ie & fire fox ?

Cheers !

No, sorry, I can't tell you exactly where to put it.

Do you mean 'alt' as in the text that appears when you hover over the link? That's goes in the <a> tag: <a href='url' title='Alt text'>

Check out Dustin Diaz's Sweet Titles Javascript script to make them much more visually attractive.

 

You can change certain words to links with the "foul language filter" or whatever it is called in vBulletin. I came across the same problem, I run SMF and it works quite all right

 

Thanks again for the replies =)

faraday911 I have a smf forum also, acn you tell me whe the code and where to add it to make the censored words you define into links ?

I meant as alt text as you described it rb3m, thanks for the nice link as well =)

It's in the administration panel, you needn't alter the code itself, just go to the section where you can setup the words to filter and add your own words and links you want them to be replaced with
