alinks to work in side content

I have a solution for Drupal 6.x (which may be applicable to 5.x?) - I think... that allows any CCK field with a field type of 'text' to be included in the areas that are searched - to insert links into.

alinks.module modified to change the 'alinks_nodeapi' function as follows;

/**
* Implementation of hook_nodeapi().
*/
function alinks_nodeapi(&$node, $op, $teaser, $page) {
  
  switch ($op) {
    case 'view':
    	
      $node_types = in_array($node->type, variable_get('alinks_node_types', array()), TRUE);
      
      if ($node_types) {
        drupal_add_css(drupal_get_path('module', 'alinks').'/alinks.css');
        $words = alinks_get_strings();
       
        if ($words) {
        	
          $node->content['body']['#value'] = alinks_make_links($node->content['body']['#value'], $words);

/**
*  find CCK fields (prefix of 'field_') where format == 2 (text fields) and make links on the value of the field
*/
	    $cck_fields = get_object_vars($node);
		foreach (array_keys($cck_fields) as $cck_field){
		  if (substr($cck_field,0,6) == "field_" && $node->{$cck_field}[0]['format'] == 2){

	          $node->{$cck_field}[0]['value'] = alinks_make_links($node->{$cck_field}[0]['value'], $words);
		  }
		}

	    }
      }
      break;
  }
}

It is dependent upon the fieldnames being prefixed with 'field_' - which is the way with CCK as far as I can gather.

The only thing I am not sure about is whether the 'format' == 2 will always equate to 'text' field types or if this is dependent upon the installation/configuration of the CCK module.

Perhaps others can give feedback regarding this...?

Hope it is useful.
