Text2Link Script... very nice Can't Post
Just completed deployment of the Automatic Text To Link Script from http://www.amscripts.com

* This vendor was mentioned in the recent IT Newsletter.

This script allows a website to set certain keywords to automatically turn into links the first time they're mentioned in articles. This is a similar to what you see on the news sites like CNN, MSNBC, etc.

For an example, see one of our AM articles here: http://www.growthtrac.com/artman/publish/article_469.php

The "linked" words you see on the above page are generated by this script.

Installation-- It's a straightforward installation. Just copy the files and build your ini file.
The ini file simply contains a list of key words and where you want them to link to.

The script can be run manually or can be configured to run with every Publish All (which is what we did).

Good Support -- a few issues (due to weak documentation) were ironed out. I'm sure
future docs will reflect these corrections. Michael (at amscripts) is responsive.

Benefits -- Too early to tell, but we predict improved page views and improved "time" per visit.
Also, if you've been creating these links manually (as we have) this script is a huge time saver.
The script definately adds value.

Hi again Francois

Thanks for posting!

I haven’t actually seen the text2link script working with News Manager before, but if you were to get in touch with Michael over at:

http://www.amscripts.com

He may have something he can setup for you.

Just let me know if you have anymore questions

The Text2Link script work independently of all software packages. So any software from IT it would work on provided it had some sort of a "publish all" feature to it where it strips out tags when the button is pushed.

Would Text2Link Script work in other website areas? [In reply to] Can't Post
I was wondering if Text2Link Script work in other website areas?

Say I used any of IT programs and I intergrated them into 'other' parts of my website that is NOT IT driven.

Can the Text2Link Script work on any part of any website?
Is it like javascript driven?

thanks

Perl based cgi script.

Its designed specifically for AM pages as it makes use of the publish all button to clean and readd links when articles are originally published or/and when they are resaved or whenever the publish all button is clicked.

You could use it on other pages, but you would need to run it on a cronjob or manually. However, since its not an AM page, you would have to clean it manually if later on you wanted to add additional links.

Michael

I think if you could make an independent version... [In reply to] Can't Post
I think if you could make an independant version of text2link,
that could run independently, like a log in cgi generator script to place text2links anywhere when a webpage has a specific 'tag' to convert text2links on specific pages...would most likely be a popular script.

there was a company selling a generalized text2link ad afilliate service as long as script was hosted on their
servers.

something to think about...thx
