Parsing Hyperlinks

[lancefiasco]

A way to auto-parse hyperlinks based on certain keywords would be awesome.

For example, via the admin panel, a admin would set it up so that everytime a user enters the word "lameduck", in a post or PM, that would be parsed to a specified link, for example, "http://www.lameduck.com/".

Also, an option could be implanted to parse links such as "Lameduck.com" automatically.

couldnt you use the Badword Filter?

That would not work because it would parse hyperlinks in topic titles.

Does that work?

not if it was coded such that only the post content was put through the filter

Coded...exactly. Coding requires work.

I think it would be better off as a mod, but with the added optional function of a small pop-up type display that could be used for defining words (with links in them too), as some sites use that concept for doing advertising.

Either as a mod, or as an optional add-on module pre-supported by IPB

Yeah, I guess not everyone would use it. But something that should be an option is to parse hyperlinks automatically from just "www.domain.com" or "domain.com".
