Isn't there an extension that automatically converts text to url?

wassup

Hi there!
I'm looking for an extension that automatically turns the text into a link.
Something like, if i set it up correctly, the string "I want you to be happy" the happy word automatically becomes clickable, and when you click on it it automatically redirects you to a page, and all of this has to happen automatically, everytime in the forum the word "happy" comes up.

Does it exist?

wassup you can use regular expression for this purpose, with CommentPost as extender.

And you can setup an array of strings/words

Justoverclock How can i do this? I'm not into this 🙁

I don't believe there is an extension you could use for this.

Unless someone decides to work on this, you could either hire someone to build this for you or you could try to build it yourself depending on how comfortable you are with that.

Im saying some thing like this:

The second post has highlighted text, how can i make it like this, but not with "hashtag functionality".

I'm asking for this because I saw on different flarum websites that this option is working wonderfully, i thought they just installed an extension and voila.

There is no premade extension who does that? SychO @Justoverclock

Justoverclock

wassup can you share one of this forum with this example?

No premade extension , you need to hire someone to do that as sycho said.

Justoverclock Yes ofc,
this is also an italian one: https://forum.fibra.click/d/21948-csv-lista-cnocro-ftth/24
If you check all words like "CRO","ARLO","FiberCop" and so on... they automatically become clickable and if you click on it it goes to a webpage containing info about that topic.
Isn't it possible to make it like this?

wassup That looks like a custom developed extension that isn't publicly available.

Justoverclock SychO thanks for the infos! 😀

SychO I asked, cause the "graphic" of the little dots beneath the words were similar to the hashtag extension's photo i shared before. So its a dedicated extension the author of the forum made for himself, or however isn't public.

Justoverclock

well, this forum have a separate software (the link destination).

an extension that match the words in flarum and turn it into link
a "wiki" software that shows the content

if you have the second one the extension for flarum is relatively simple to build.

This extension is probably relevant to the subject here https://discuss.flarum.org/d/27338-keywords-a-dynamic-glossary-for-flarum

While it doesn't create actual links, it's probably the closest to what is requested. It probably could be a good starting point to make a different extension.
