Hello, I am currently working on integrating Drupal 6 with Miva Merchant 5.5. Our site has lots of articles that discuss the products in our store. There is functionality I'm looking for in a module, but I'm struggling with how to explain what I need. I have seen on some websites, when certain words appear they are automatically wrapped with a link to another page. In our case this is the product page itself.
Example: We sell "monkey widgets" and "bananas" in a fictitious store. On an article in this store's drupal install there is a body of text where those two strings appear. Whenever either of those words appear in the body of the article, I want just that word wrapped with an A tag that links to the corresponding product page that lives in the e-Commerce software.
In a perfect world I would love to just have an admin panel with a big table of keywords and specific URLs that those keywords get linked to. *I could* write a PHP array that does this, but the website will be maintained by people who are not so technical... so there has to be a Drupal admin panel to set new keywords and links.
I realize there might not even BE a module that does this, just putting some feelers out there.
If no module exists and one were to try to write a module that parsed a node's content and added anchor tags around key words... where would you suggest they start? A trigger based on editing/adding a node/node type?
