SimplyLinks ComponentPlugin

SimplyLinks allows you to configure keywords that will be auto-converted into hyperlinks when they appear in Joomla article content. Links can be configured to auto-link to an internal article, an external link address, or to pop-up as a glossary link.

New for Version 2.0:

1) Article selection button instead of requirement to use "article id" number.

2) Admin parameter to control whether auto-link applies to first instance or all instances of a keyword in article content.

3) Admin parameter to control whether graphic image appears next to generated links, or not.

4) Simpler single step installation -- component and plugin installed at same time.

UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS: Uninstall old version of component and plugin, then install new single-step package.

Just awesome my bro, the plugin just do the work... very easy to install and use.

I have a couple of new ideas for it...

1) possibility to choose if the keyword that you choose will be a link or other html tag, example: , etc.

2)possibility to include attibutes in the tags

...

10 points for you my friend.

I think it is good to add more functionality to your great extension.
1) the capability to link a word to multiple targets. sometimes the user thinks that some more resources are needed to be added to the word.
2) the capability to access the component configuration from the front-end. It makes it more interactive extension. since you can let your users to contribute in improving the article content.
3) the capability to assign links to words automatically just by for example double clicking the word in the front end. it makes it more user friendly.
4) the capability to search the selected word for example using Google and suggesting links to the user that by just clicking the link it would be added to the word as a link.
good luck

I have been looking for something like this for a while now, and found it while looking at something else.

Easy to install, easy to manage, and easy to configure. Could do with a few options, like being able to make external links load in a new page, but apart from that all good!

The plugin works great for internal linking, hands up! I have one minor question though: is it possible to avoid links in Headers/headlines? So the links only appear in the text?

Pretty darn incredibly fantabulous! Easiest Component I have ever installed and took (not kidding) no more than 50 seconds to configure. Simply perfect and just what I needed for SEO. Thank you!

Definitely needs the ability to specify the 'href target". Presently, it opens in the same window.

Also, there is a need for custom 'Groups' for link lists.

I would not use this for a large site.

The fact that exists it's a very good start. When they will add the options for opening links in a new window (at the user's choice) it will be anonther progress.
And if they will create a cloacking path for link (instead of http://www.whateversite.com should appear http://www.mysite.com/link=123456 ) the extension will became one of the best.
The best will be when they will offer statistics (clicks, IP, article, etc.)
Anyway a 4 star extension

I can't say enough praise for this component, now that the new version has been released. All my previous feature requests have been put in (along with a few extras). This is a simple component, but it works perfectly! ABSOLUTELY NO COMPLAINTS! I highly recommend this to Joomal administrators. Waht a great and simple tool to help internal and external link generation to aid in SEO!

I liked your ext. It is helpful,but lacks something important. In case of internal links, there's no way to set. (see Linkr does it nicely)

I've a site about history & culture where so many names & terms are inter-related that it's very painful to link them manually. If you're could ease internal linking, it would be very helpful for sites like these.
