Database Autolinker

Obviously there will still be a few kinks to work out. But bravo, Kralik. Looks like it's going pretty well, finally.

[lem0nhead]

Yeah dont get me wrong its impressive but its also rather over zealous!

[DáinIronfoot]

Yeah, my title bar's a little off, too. But it actually doesn't look that bad, even so.

Now mine's actually worse than last night. Hmmmm....

It's weird. "The Last Homely House" is centered, but the squiggly image below it doesn't start until below "House", with the "Hello ________" and other info not quite centered (skewed a little to the left) below THAT. Everything else seems to line up mostly alright, but that stuff at the top is a bit of an eyesore. I guess it changes depending on what resolution we have?

If everything's going to be linked automatically and seamlessly, you're going to have to remove a lot of the linking acronyms or it will start to get really annoying.

Like who would say 'bat' when they meant Boomed and Trumpeted?

Agreed. I'd say that unless it's a VERY common acronym (like RoD or BoO), it should probably be taken out. Perhaps just take ALL acronyms out until people complain, then add them back as necessary.

[Kralik]

Taking out all acronyms would be troublesome.
BoG was on the abbreviations list and requested. I could make it case sensitive to distinguish between it and bog?
Others like bat and um can be quickly fixed. Just let me know!

[Thranduil]

Yeah, I think case sensitive would be a good idea for most subtitle acronyms.

[Barbossa] Agreeeeeeeed. [/Barbossa]

[Kralik]

Well, I'll have to program it in by hand on a case-per-case basic because the entire code is case-insensitive. Just let me know which ones are troublesome. Already fixed bog.

I just want to say....YESSSSS!!!!

Thanks Kralik!

[Hobbit_Pizza]

I found that the following didn't autolink:

Mouth of Sauron
Grima
Steward's Tomb
Gollum

I know...Mouth of Sauron, Grima, and Gollum are vague...
Is there any way if a card is unique (i.e. there may be more than one version of that card like most companions and some minions) and the poster just vaguely throws out the name without specifying which version, then autolink can just link to a search for that name?

[Kralik]

That's a distinct possibility, but it would take some work and, more importantly, an advanced search function that isn't yet programmed. I'll look into Steward's Tomb. Meanwhile, know that you can link to cards by their subtitle, such as Gollum DaD.

[Hobbit_Pizza]

Roger that.

[Kralik]

Right, seems like no cards with apostrophes are linking. Might take some fiddling...

[SomeRandomDude]

Question on the autolinker- can we disable it in the MtG section? Its annoying that everytime we say "tap," it links to Theoden, Tall and Proud.
