== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How does the hyperlinking work? =

Select the word/phrase to be hyperlinked. Select the Category to which the
word/phrase belongs. Press the "Smart Link" button. If the word/phrase is
present for that category in the inetlinker database, it will be hyperlinked.
The hyperlinks are "pre-selected". For example, "Barack Obama" links to "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama".

= What criteria was used to "pre-select" the url (or hyperlink) for a term? =

The words/phrases have been "mined" from popular encyclopedias/web sites like
wikipedia, msn encarta, bbc.co.uk, bartleby, enotes, knowledgerush to name a
few. 

The choice of an encyclopedia/web site is guided by criterias like
availibility of a picture describing the word, quality of description, formatting
and lack of advertisements/popups on the web page. The objective has been to
pick urls which point to web pages that have an "educational" feel (rather
than commercial).

= What is the "Auto Hyperlink" option? =

"Auto Hyperlink" will search the inetlinker database for a best match and
automatically hyperlink the selected word/phrase. You don't have to bother
selecting the category. 

= What is the purpose of the Categories? =

A word or phrase can have multiple meanings. For example, "Michael Douglas"
can be the name of a movie star or a sportsman. Hence, the categories. 

= What browsers are currently supported? =

IE 6/7 on Windows and Firefox 2.0/3.0 on Windows/Linux/Mac OS.

= Known issues =

1. "Smartlinker Categories" drop-down menu does not work on WordPress 2.1 for IE.
2. "Check for Word" feature does not work on WordPress 2.1 for IE.


= The phrases "Pacific Ocean" and "Atlantic Ocean" are hyper linked, but the word "ocean" gives me a "No Match Found". Why? =

Very simple words are not hyperlinked.

= When I move the mouse cursor over the "Link Status Indicator" button , it gives me "JSonRequestError: Bad Response" (Firefox) or "Bad Response" (IE) =

There are temporary connectivity issues with the http://www.inetlinker.com server
or the server is down. Please <strong>refresh the browser</strong> and re-try again after sometime.

= The "Check for word" feature was working but it stopped suddenly. Why? =

Same reason as above - temporary connectivity issues with the http://www.inetlinker.com server. Please <strong>refresh the browser</strong> and re-try.

= I cannot see the Smartlinker plugin on Wordpress after activating the plugin. Why?  =

A couple of users have reported this issue on WP 2.6.x (This plugin <strong>does not</strong> work on WP 2.7, as of Dec 19th). 
Please try refreshing the browser on the WordPress Editor after enabling the
plugin from the "Manage Plugins" screen. If it still does not work, close all
browser windows, remove the "smartlinker" directory from the
"wp-content/plugins" directory, and reinstall the plugin from
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/smartlinker/. That should do it. 

= Where do I report a bug? =

Bugs can be reported at http://wordpress.org/tags/smartlinker, http://www.inetlinker.com/module/feedback or can be
emailed to support@inetlinker.com.
