[Plugin: SEO Auto Linker] Filter for adding keywords/links

Hiya,

I don’t think this is going to work the way you want it to. The “links” in version 0.7+ are just a private custom post type that gets used to store all the data in in {$wpdb->prefix}_postmeta. So, any links you add would have to look like a post object (eg. have the ID attribute) and have post meta to fetch.

That said, there is a filter that you could hook into and roll your own replacements: https://github.com/AgencyPMG/SEO-Auto-Linker/blob/0.7.1/inc/front.php#L99

The only thing to watch out for is that there will be anchors to watch out for (eg. <a href="">asdf</a>).

Option Two:

Create a dummy keyword. But put at least something in the keywords field. Then use the seoal_link_keywords filter (https://github.com/AgencyPMG/SEO-Auto-Linker/blob/0.7.1/inc/front.php#L185) to replace the actual keywords with whatever you’d like.

This seems like the easiest option?

Option Three:

Since the links you create are just a custom post type, they get fetched with get_posts. You have access to all the filter that come with that (eg. pre_get_posts, posts_where, etc).

Thanks for the reply. I’m going to include my hacked together solution below just in case anyone is trying to accomplish the same thing in the future. Although the Links are custom post types, once you get into inc/front.php:content(), only the keywords/URL/max num are required.

There may be bugs in here somewhere, but the basic structure works and dynamically adds keyword/URL/max combinations. This was made with version 0.7.1 of the plugin.

Diff to inc/front.php:

Add to the theme’s functions.php:

Makes sense.

Will add a filter! https://github.com/AgencyPMG/SEO-Auto-Linker/issues/8

Hiya,

There is now an seoal_links filter in 0.7.2.

There’s some more info here: https://github.com/AgencyPMG/SEO-Auto-Linker/wiki/Filters

Great, thanks. I’ll check it out.
