Replace URL's With Page Title

Developer Last Online: Oct 2022 I like it Show Printable Version Email this Page

This modification is in the archives.
vB Version: 3.6.8 Rating: (30 votes - 4.60 average) Installs: 466
Released: 22 Aug 2007 Last Update: 22 Aug 2007 Downloads: 2134
Not Supported Uses Plugins  


This product will automatically take any incoming parsed link and display the title of that page instead of showing the URL.

Example:

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/index.php

Is how URL's are displayed by default, after adding this plugin, automatically the page title of that URL will be displayed and linked:

VBulletin.org Forum

The only thing required to install is to upload the product file (see readme in attached file).

For those asking what the difference is between this mod, and a similar one, see my post here:

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showp...7&postcount=23

Limitations:
  • If the page has no title tag, only the URL will be displayed.
  • If the title tag does not appear within the first 1000 lines of the page, only the URL will be displayed. To keep the script from locking on URL's that go to large files or other large documents that could put a strain on the server and timeout a post, only the first 1000 lines are accepting when retrieving the page information.
  • Links on pages posted prior to adding this mod will not be updated.
Changelog:
  • Aug 22-2007: Fixed issue where functions might redeclare themselves, especially with shoutbox.
(note 49 downloads v1.0)

If you enjoy this mod, please nominate it for mod of the month (MOTM).

Creates a problem if you're using an Ajax shoutbox

Message in shoutbox :-
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare convert_url_to_bbcode_callback_auto_title() (previously declared in /home/X/X/forums/public_html/forums/includes/functions_newpost.php(175) : eval()'d code:1)

Should not affect Ajax at all.

If there is an issue with a conflicting function name in another plugin, just rename functions. As in the shoutbox example, you would open the plugin called Title_Replace and find any instances of this phrase:

convert_url_to_bbcode_callback_auto_title

Change that to a different name, example:

convert_url_to_bbcode_callback_auto_title_Changed

Huh, I have done that, changed two instances of convert_url_to_bbcode_callback_auto_title in Title-Replace.

Only thing I can do in Shoutbox is to erase all the shout withe the prune-command, and post a smiley! After that I try to post smileys, text etc, nothing happens.

It is possible to erase everything with prune-command and post a thing. After that nothing is happening when I try to post something more. Then I must erase again if I want to post a new thing, and so again...

I think that this mode is in conflict with a function from Shoutbox. When I'm posting a new message then Shoutbox display username instead of http://www.mysite.net/forum/member.php?u=1, and your mode is also trying to do the same thing. I'm I right?
