I enjoy using Discourse feature that automatically converts watched words into links. However, I’m also looking for a way to auto-convert external links, primarily to insert affiliate links (other than Amazon). I attempted to achieve this using the regex option in watched words, but it doesn’t seem …

[image] Steven: it seems that there could be a conflict with the enable markdown linkify setting. It looks that way to me too. I created a replacement for https://www.digitalocean.com/ → https://m.do.co/c/a5bf212d9a92/ and if enable markdown linkify is on, it doesn’t work, and if it’s off, …

Have you tried the Auto-Linkify Words theme component? I think that has extra regex capabilities compared to Watched Words.

The Discourse Affiliate plugin supports Amazon and the French site ldlc.com, if it’s something generally useful a PR is always welcome. If not, you might use this plugin as a reference to what you want to accomplish.

[image] kam44: Yes, but without success. Regexes are hard. Perhaps you should share what you tried?

[image] Jay Pfaffman: Regexes are hard :100: :sweat_smile: What I tried with the Google url example : /(https?:\/\/)?(www\.)?google\.com/ /(https:\/\/)?(www\.)?((google)?\.com)/

That’s not enough to debug. That will (should?) match a google URL, but what are you trying to replace? [image] Auto-Linkify Words WORD, https://destination.url.com or using regular expressions (in JavaScript implementation ) with the format /regex/, https://destination.url.com

[image] Jay Pfaffman: That will (should?) match a google URL, but what are you trying to replace? I just need to match domain/subdomain, not all pages. Here is what I added in the linkify plugin : /(https?:\/\/)?(www\.)?example\.com/, https://example.com/affiliateid

I’ve made some progress on my end, it seems that there could be a conflict with the enable markdown linkify setting. This setting has the advantage over the component. I’ll let Camille dig into it, but it may help resolve this issue

Mmm so maybe the easiest solution is to fork the Discourse Affiliate plugin and add my custom affiliate links.

That’s likely overkill. If you just want to rewrite some urls, you don’t need much. I have a theme component that rewrites one boxes. I have a theme component that finds one-boxes from a certain domain and rewrites them as <iframes> appropriate to that site. It shouldn’t be too hard (for someone wi…

Ce n’est pas suffisant pour déboguer. Cela correspondra (devrait correspondre ?) à une URL Google, mais que cherchez-vous à remplacer ?
