Is there a plugin to create Twitter style hashtags in headlines, posts, and comments?

I'd like a plugin that turned #hashtag words into hyperlinks and they become filters, does anyone know of anything like this that's been done on Vanilla?

I would run the title through the Gdn_Format::Mentions() method. It would only work on the individual discussion page (since the title is a link in the discussions list).

public function DiscussionController_Render_Before($Sender) {
  $Discussion = $Sender->Data('Discussion');
  $Discussion->Name = Gdn_Format::Mentions($Discussion->Name);
  $Sender->SetData('Discussion', $Discussion, TRUE);
}

Let me know if that works for you.

Just answered my own question by posting this, can see they auto hyperlink - nice!

However, what about being able to hyper link them if they are added to the title of the post?

public function DiscussionController_Render_Before($Sender) {
  $Discussion = $Sender->Data('Discussion');
  $Discussion->Name = Gdn_Format::Mentions($Discussion->Name);
  $Sender->SetData('Discussion', $Discussion, TRUE);
}

Let me know if that works for you.

Great thanks we'll give it a go and report back!
