Inline Text Ads

[RoguePyro]

Hello, I need some help!​

​

I want to display an affiliate link for certain keywords in my forum. The affiliate links are already created, I just want to implement them somehow. ( Its a manualish process, but lets just assume all of the affiliate links for the apps are created )​

​

For example, on this thread on my forum http://thetapattack.com/threads/jetpack-joyride.50/ the user quoted three iOS apps for his review. I would like to overlay my affiliate links over the three iOS apps that he cited (Temple Run, Jetpack Joyride, Fruit Ninja).​

​

I was kinda hoping it would be like Digitalpoint's inline ad link overlay system.​

​

Im assuming this system would use some type of php or database or something. I'm not that great at PHP (well I'm horrible at it, just starting to learn it ) , but I am knowledgable with HTML and CSS.​

​

I'm at a loss with this one. I would even pay for it at this point. Thanks! ​

You can use javascript:

Or you can do it in PHP. You would probably extend the "view" class for thread pages (XenForo_ViewPublic_Thread_View). You can operate on posts from there.

I'm looking for this as well. Autolinks is what I'm familiar with. I wish I could do this with XenForo.
I took advantage of the Acronym Expansion function with vbseo . All you needed to do is add a line and whenever someone mentioned this word in a post, it would be replaced with a url of your choice.
Advertisers paid me for this.

There are two addons that already do this:

http://xenforo.com/community/resources/keyword-replace-by-waindigo.635/

I'm using the first one and it works fine.
