Show Thread Enhancements - Replace URL's With Page Title

If you Install This Mod PLEASE Click INSTALL

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

Example:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/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:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....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)

Is the entire thread title in the PAGE TITLE? If not, then it will not show up.

Yes it is but I'm starting to wonder if the transition to vb 3.7 have pushed the title more then 1000 chars down for me (just to clarify, it's probably the style I'm using, not 3.7 per se).

[Jafo232]

I would edit the template then and get the title towards the top of the page (where it belongs )..

hm. i installed this and verified the plugin is running and whatnot, but don't see the desired behavior.
does it happen after a particular amount of time?
should i see it on a "preview" or "go advanced" (from quick reply)?

any steps you'd like me to try for debugging purposes?

also, have you considered writing an admin maintenance task that would process all the links posted prior to installing this mod? would be most awesome.

i'm also finding that altering the plugin (basically clicking "save" after doing "edit" on the plug) after installation is impossible. every time i try i get a Service Temporarily Unavailable error from the site. However i can do anything else i want w/ any other plugins i have installed. the only way i've been able to change the plugin code is to change it in the XML and re-upload w/ overwrite... pretty weird if i do say so myself (and i do)

Hi, I'm getting this error message from time to time in my error_log file on my 370Gold board:

PHP Code:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/********/public_html/vb/includes/functions_newpost.php(175) : eval()'d code on line 58 


I have been advised by the vB team with the following:

The first two options are the preferable ones.

How can I resolve this, please?

Thanks!

looks like some user has put in a link that's taking more then 30s to resolve, so likely their link is "bad"

@ bc3tech - Thanx for your reply, I think that's what happened!

[bc3tech]

np; ideally this mod would account for that as well...

I wonder when Jafo's going to get around to addressing the other concerns posted here.
