AutoLinks

AutoLinks is a feature that, when Activated, generates web links related to the content on-the-fly in modules (for example, News or Sections) from text within the module (text in the article). By default, AutoLinks is not active and must be activated through Administration -> Modules.

For example, if you have AutoLinks turned on, "Beatles" defined as a Keyword, and "http://www.beatles.com" as the auto-link URL, PostNuke will automatically replace occurrences of "Beatles" within your articles with "<a href="http://www.beatles.com">Beatles</a>".

When AutoLinks are Activated, the option to Activate/Deactivate AutoLinks for particular modules will appear when editing modules (from Administration -> Modules -> List -> <module name>). Activate AutoLinks for the modules you wish, such as News. AutoLinks has a slight performance cost when activated.

Once AutoLinks have been activated, an AutoLinks link will appear in your Administration screen with the following options.

TO ADD AUTOLINKS TO A SPECIFIC MODULE: Select the module(s) that you wish to use AutoLinks and "Edit" them. For example, Administrators may want the News module to feature AutoLinks. Go to Administration -> Modules -> Regenerate. Select "Edit" next to the News module. From the page that is displayed, check the box next to "Activate AutoLinks for this module" and click "Commit Changes" to save your changes. Repeat for any other modules that you wish to use AutoLinks.

Click "Update AutoLinks Configuration" to save changes.
