Linkerator

Update: September 20th, 2009

About

This plugin will take triggers that you give it and when it sees the trigger in the content of a post it will replace it with a link to the URL you provided for that trigger. The name "Linkerator" comes from a WoW addon called GFW Linkerator, which performs a similar operation inside of WoW.

The plugin will check if the URL you give is a valid URL (using cURL or a valid e-mail. If an e-mail is provided it will automatically include the "mailto:" in the location. Validation is done with Perl Regular Expressions, to check the syntax, and cURL to actually check if the URL exists, by reading the response headers.
