Link Linker 0.6

Steve wrote to point out that the main function in Link Linker rm_link, was conflicting with the wp-amazon plugin. I’ve fixed the problem and uploaded a new version.

Link Linker 0.5

Link Linker is a plugin for |WordPress| 1.2.

Link Linker lets you easily link to sites that are in your blogroll, links list, or other link categories defined in the Link Manager.

In a post, you can write the name of one of your links, surrounded by vertical pipes (“|”) and the plugin will strip the pipes and link the name to the URL listeed in the Links Manager. For example, if I write |WordPress|, it will get rendered as |WordPress|. (I’ve created a “linker fodder” links category simply so I have a place to dump links that I want available to the plugin.

Caveat: As of version 0.5, the regex used for link names is: /|([_a-zA-Z0-9-s]+)|/m, so there is a limit on what you can name your links.

Download: Link Linker 0.5.

Plugin Test

I’m testing a new plugin I’m working on, please be patient.

|pixel|

|nullgel|

|sir not-appearing-in-this-film|

This plugin works by looking in the post content for bits of text between |’s (vertical bars), then checking to see if that text is in your links database. If it is, it replaces the pipe-text-pipe combo with the text, linked to the URL in your links db. The above links, |bill brown|, |pixel|, and |nullgel|, are all in my blogroll links category, and are therefore linked to their respective sites. Sir not-appearing-in-this-film is not, so the pipes are stripped and the text returned unlinked.

Caveat: for now, the regex I’m using is /|([_a-zA-Z0-9-s]+)|/m, so no punctuation can be used in your link names. I consider this a bug, but have not worked out the regex yet. Grr. :-(
