Acronym Expansion

**NeutralizeR** · 03-19-2008 04:22 AM

I added this one to test:

'msn'=>'Microsoft Network'

Apply Acronym Expansion to URLs?
Apply Acronym Expansion to all text?

both set to NO. The post texts including "MSN" are not underlined and they don't have "Microsoft Network" anchor text as here (vBSEO for example) but the thread urls are replaced. What's the problem?

If you set the options to "No", then it should not be replaced. If it's getting replaced in the URL, then this could be a bug.

Note: The underline feature that you see here is a new feature in beta testing here at vBSEO.com and not embedded in the public vBSEO release at this time.

It's a bug then. I removed all of them.

I'll be waiting for the next release, thanks.

Please modify functions_vbseo_seo.php file:
FIND:

PHP Code:

 $seo_replace_inurls['#\b' . $sk . '\b#i'] =

add above:

PHP Code:

 if (VBSEO_REWRITE_KEYWORDS_IN_URLS)

Just so i understand correctly, are you seeing the word vBSEO on this forum as underlined? What browser are you using? I'm not seeing it underlined with IE7, but I do get a tooltip if I hover over it with the mouse.

You're right. It's not underlined with IE7. I'm using Mozilla Firefox. A screenshot for you:

/*

*/

that's just the browser rendering the
acronym

tag. FF underlines it. If you hover on it in ie, you should get a popup text box with the expansion.

OK. I was inspired by this thread and set up some expansions for my forum and it's working great.

One thing I noticed though, and think perhaps should be considered for the future, is that expansions happen everywhere in a post - including the contents inside BB code (quotes, code, php, etc.). It would be nice if there was a BB code which told vBSEO not to use the expansion for a section of text.

lol... I just noticed... The acronym expansion is even changing the text in the forum's navbar! On my forum, 'CP' => 'complex partial'. The link to the User CP in the navbar now says 'User complex partial'. That's no good (but I'd like to keep the 'CP' acronym for the forum posts). Help?

This is already fixed. The new version will include the fix. Now acronym replacements will only work within posts.

Could acronym replacements be users to automatically hyper link certain words?

For example, have the word Microsoft in posts automatically hyper linked to http://www.microsoft.com?

How do I go about getting an update for this? I'm using 3.1.0.

You might try testing with BB Code or HTML as the replacement text.
It might lead to problems though if the acronym is being used in the anchor text for a link already.

Hello Bernard ,

The new version is still being developed. Once the development process is complete it will be released to pre release members. I currently also donot activate acronym's because of the problem you mentioned.

You can specify replacements as:

Code:

'microsoft'=>'http://www.microsoft.com'
