Hey Guys
Do you know any solution for Discourse forum Auto linker.
For example:
If in the backend I assign that when ever ShoutMeLoud is mentioned, it should auto link to [https://ShoutMeLoud.com](https://ShoutMeLoud.com)
Is there any solution out there??
Thanks in anticipation!

Almost seems like it should be part of the new automatic actions thing:

> New for 1.9 is the ability to take some actions based on watched words found in a post. Block the post at the time it is submitted. User sees a message saying they’ve used a word that’s not allowed. Flag the post as inappropriate, but allow it to be submitted. Censor the words, which replaces the censored\_words site setting being removed by this feature.

(But it is not, at least yet.)

I am not a developer but it seems to me that even I might be able to do this by building on existing plugins that do some sort of replacement, like the doi-resolver plugin, the two abbreviations plugins or the amazon affiliate plugin. (Before you ask: no, I won’t to it)

I was looking for the same thing, found this post first, and then found the solution elsewhere. Thought I should link it here for others:
