A user, denharsh, is looking for an Autolinker solution for Discourse that automatically links specific words or phrases to predefined URLs. pfaffman suggests it would require a fairly simple plugin, while elijah references a related feature request, Automatic Actions, but notes it doesn’t currently include linking functionality. tophee suggests building on existing plugins, such as the doi-resolver or amazon affiliate plugins, could be a possible solution. jtbayly found a related solution, Linkify words in post, and shared it for others. pfaffman also shared another related topic, Other websites in the official Discourse affiliate plugin.
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
Is there any solution out there??
Thanks in anticipation!
It would take a fairly simple plugin.
Almost seems like it should be part of the new automatic actions thing:
(But it is not, at least yet.)
Do you know anyone who can code this?
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)
You can ask for help in Marketplace
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:
