I have to agree, the Acronym Module was created specifically for auto-linking.  If you need something even more specific to your own use, it might be best to custom develop such a module; I say that simply because the Acronym Module suits most uses that have that need.

Well I think that the Acronym module is pretty much already there in that respect. Could you not perhaps just rename the images so that they don’t ever have any of your acronyms in them?

Just a thought though. I know it’s not ideal but an idea for now?

Best wishes,

Mark

Not really an option since we have about 10,000 entries!  Yeah it does looks like the module is already there, I’m just being a pain in the rear since it’s breaking the HTML. =)

This is awesome! To me the Acronym Module is doing exactly what was hoped for.
Understand the duplicates problem, but hopefully that can be changed by solspace, or just by doing a find and replace for similar ones. Using a few letters is a bit unusual in a link or alt tag, but at the same time on a very large multi author site one wouldn’t be wanting to do a find and replace every time.

So really it looks like a modification to the module would be needed…
Or modified and renamed?
Michael?

This would be reallly handy to people.
I for one would definitely contribute $ towards doing so.
And have a client with a large site being made needing this who would also.

Breaking News: Solspace adds my recommendations to their feature requests.  Thanks to everyone that helped out with this one.  I think many many people will benefit from this.

Check out the thread over at their forum:

Hiya,

That sounds good. Hopefully will get added soon but I know that Solspace (like everyone else really) are quite busy at the moment so it may take a while for that FR to filter through and get added.

Now I’ve said that though and knowing how great Mitchell and the crew are over there they have probably already added it and about another 1,000,000 FRs to it too!! grin

Best wishes,

Mark
