Word Links (Turn words into links) by BOP5
Developer Last Online: Feb 2021 
My VB4 Version of this mod won the June 2011 Mod-of-the-Month!! This is virtually an identical mod- thank you for your votes!
The purpose of this mod is to automatically turn keywords or phrases you specify into links. You set a list of keywords and a list of URLs to link them to and let the mod do the rest. Demo Link There are many options as you can see in the screenshot. You can choose to include the "nofollow" attribute, choose to open links in a new tab, choose to match whole words only or not, specify specific forums, enable in social groups and visitor messages, and disable completely for selected usergroups. Version: 2.0
Example... If someone types: "I bought it on Amazon." This mod can auto convert it to: "I bought it on Amazon. And you would presumably put your Amazon affiliate code, if you had one, in the link. NOTE: This mod does not alter the actual posts or the database. Disabling or uninstalling the mod will remove all links. There is a VB3 and VB4 version of this mod, please download the correct version. Full instructions in zip file. *NEW IN 0.92* As of version 0.92 all links created are within a <span> tag of class "boplink." This allows you to customize the look of the links created by this mod ussing CSS. In your "Additional CSS" you can add the following CSS code and customize it to your liking for each of your styles. This is OPTIONAL. If you do not add this CSS links will retain the same style as existing links in your posts. Sample CSS:
This CSS will highlight the links in yellow and turn the text to red and bold when mouse-overed. In VB 3.x Additional CSS is accessible via Style Manger -> All Style Options, scroll down to Additional CSS Definitions. Use the lower box to customize the CSS uniquely for each style. This mod uses functions that may not work on non-latin (multibyte/unicode) characters. I'm sorry but it is only tested/working on English and other latin based alphabets. Please Mark as Installed if you use this.  Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information. Screenshots

Updated to 0.91 - Adds an option to limit the number of links created per keyword per post. This should help for SEO purposes to prevent too many off-site links.

Spectacular job BirdOPrey5. Works like a charm. We could use this to sell link words to advertisers as well.

I had it on my site thinking things were great until I found a bug where it was replacing words in image tags... I had to go back to the drawing board to fix that... I did fix it before being released but I'm keeping it beta for now because I could imagine some unusual scenario I didn't plan for coming to light. If no one reports issues in the next few weeks I'll move it out of Beta...

The links are barely noticeable. Is there a way for them to be highlighted?

I find personally that if you make the links too prominent users get upset because they consider it advertising but I will work on something so admins can choose if they want to go that route.

Updated to version 0.92- you can now use CSS to customize the look of the links if you want. This is totally optional.
In your "Additional CSS" you can put in code like:
to customize the look of the links. The above with highlight them in yellow and turn the text bold and red if hovered.

New in 0.93: Linked words now retain the same case as they were originally typed. Also a new option to specify whether linked words are case sensitive or not.

A bug has come to light in the 4.x version causing it to not work on some forums. I will be releasing a fix later today.

Updated to 0.94, fixes a bug and a conflict with VBSEO. Also makes the additional HTML needed to use custom CSS optional. Can be turned on or off in the settings.
