Anything in your PHP Error Log?

[Avimelech]

No errors. (Only from my Wordpress install which is gone.) So I reset the log, did a new post with a link to be processed and no errors in the log still.

Anything else to check?

To reconfirm, you're saying this positively works on the latest 4.2.3 version? Are you running this there?

Also can you confirm that the current ZIP version is all I need or are we talking about modifying it based on the comments since the ZIP?

[BirdOPrey5]

I'm not saying any of that, I simply asked if there was anything in the error log. What version of PHP are you using?

[Avimelech]

I'm on PowWeb: Current Default version of PHP: 5.6

[djbaxter]

It's still working for me on vB 4.2.3 with PHP 5.5.34

As far as I know, vB4 isn't certified above PHP 5.5.x yet, is it?

[Avimelech]

My PowWeb panel lets me pick my PHP version: 5.3, 5.5, or 5.6. Should I bump it down to 5.5 and report back?

THe minimum requirements for vB 4.2.3 are:

vBulletin 4.2.3 requires PHP 5.4.0+ and MySQL 4.1.0+.

As far as I know, you should be fine with PHP 5.6.x and vB 4.2.3.

Given this was written for vB3.7 (and probably PHP 5.2 or even 5.1) its not going to be much of a surprise if it doesnt work properly on 4.2.3 and PHP 5.5 or 5.6.

I also tried the ZIP version (with the maxversion change alone) and no dice.

Any advice?

Look if you have fopen enabled in php config, it's needed in this addon.

THANK YOU, Rhodium! It did not matter which PHP version I used, all worked once I set allow_url_fopen = On

This mod has the effect of recording your own server as a guest on your forum which results in some odd behaviour such as listing your server in WOL and not having the ability to tag forum urls where guests do not have viewing permissions.

So, is this expected behaviour; should the code be modified to get around it? If so, how?

[mdawg]

Yes, correct Rhodium, must have
PHP set for
allow_url_fopen = On

This mod is running okay now, once I made that PHP adjustment, in my 4.2.3 forum running PHP 5.6.30

Note: for any URLs that were not converted (during a period when you had allow_url_fopen = Off ), you must go back in and edit those posts AND remove the hyperlinks from the non-coverted URLs before re-saving the posts. Easiest way to do this is:
1. Click, Edit Post
2. Cut the URL that has not been converted
3. Paste it into a new browser window
4. Copy that URL that has been posted in that browser window
5. Paste the URL back into the post.
6. Save

Now the mod will have created the title for the post. For some reason, edit and save does nothing unless you remove the hyperlink from the URL in question (one that has not been converted).

This mod will not work with vb 4.2.5 IF running php 7. It will work under PhP 5.6

Quick replies while running this mod in php 7, go blank.

Running fine for me with 4.2.5 on PHP 7.1.

[mdawg]

Have you made posts? Or threads? New ones I mean? Then try making a QUICK REPLY to the post, within the thread. Then try an Advanced Reply to the post, within the thread.

Also, I have a phpinfo.php file loaded in my directory to verify which exact version of PhP I am running, and an .htaccess file that was forcing PhP 5.6 for this directory only, for my vb4 forum only. I commented out the code in that .htaccess to revert to PhP 7, and that was when I determined these issues with this mod.

Issues I had were with PhP 7.0.18 if that makes a difference.
