    Gravatar of Heather Floyd - Web Developer for Sole-proprietorsDarren - this looks great! I can't wait to try it out.

    Last night I was on a webinar about SEO where the speaker was saying that Wordpress was the best CMS for SEO - partly because of an auto-linking plugin, and I thought, I bet umbraco can do that too.

    Thanks for proving me right :-)

    Gravatar of SimonHi, I can't have autolink to work well because I'd like to link a word with a french accent.

    For instance, the word fenêtre become fen?tre in the backend. So it doesn't link.

    Can you help me!

  5. Darren Ferguson says:

    Gravatar of Darren Ferguson@simon - I've used the package with accented characters so i'm not sure the issue is with the package.

    Please post your query in the our.umbraco projects forum with *a lot* more detail and I will see if I can help.

    Gravatar of Keith CarlsonWould it be possible to get the source code? We would like to extend this idea to showing definitions with tooltips, and this is a great start for it.

    Gravatar of Keith Carlson (1)I am interested in using this to build a glossary feature for Umbraco with tooltips instead of links. Is it possible to get source code to start this process? I think this is a great module to base ours on.

  8. Darren Ferguson (1) says:

    Gravatar of Darren Ferguson (1)@keith - the source code is available from http://our.umbraco.org/projects/auto-link

    There are also forums there for requesting features and reporting bugs.

    Thanks.

    Gravatar of Geoff BeaumontHi Darren,

    The source link on the Umbraco projects site is broken (or your svn repository is down!).

    The link to the project page is now http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/auto-link - probably following the reorganising they're doing at the moment.
