      Here's one for the ideas box.

      you know how on some forums they kindly (sarcasm) add link to random words in your posts for advertising purposes? Like if I types in that I just bought a computer!, it might link the phrase "computer" to the Lenovo computer sales site or something lame.

      Could we harness that here and have the forum search for plugins names and have it autolink to plugins that are uploaded here? So when Rich does this πŸ˜„ :

      (he tells someone to go use Goldilocks v2.0), it would replace his text with an actual link to goldilocks here on SCF?

      I dislike posting info about plugins without actually posting a link to the plugin. BUT, at the same time, I hate taking the time to track down a link to a plugin. So I find myself doing both ways, sometimes providing a link, sometimes not.

      Anyhow, just an idea. It might be completely unfeasible.

        Sounds good to me. Fletch does it all the time on Twilight and Kerkythea forums, maybe ask him how?

            Frenchy that is the weirdest thing I have ever seen πŸ˜„ But yes, I think that is approximately right.

              I tried to add a "word censoring rule" for Goldilocks but see what happened: it simply writes out the bbCode instead of adding the link itself (you can edit your own or my post to see that the [url] tag is not in there).

              Too bad it does not work - and very good it does not as it would give me days of boring, manual work to create these links in the admin panel. πŸ’š

                .. and I see it messed up the Plugin Index for AdamB

                Perhaps the server-side plugin index (I assume there will be one to drive the new SCF rbz installer,) would be consulted by a NEW [plugin] bbCode tag that uses the text between the tag, as a lookup value into the plugin index list, and receives a valid URI back, which the bbCode tag admin code uses to create an %(#BF00BF)[<A>] element (perhaps of css class "SCF_Plugin_URL" or whatever.)

                πŸ’­

                I'm not here much anymore.

                  Well, what will (or might) be done during that development, is still open but thanks for the report, Dan: I have now completely removed this experimental goldilocks code to fix the plugin index.
