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)

while(!feof) , while NOT end of file. the correct methon would be to use fread(resource, bytes) , which reads the stream until bytes and then closes the stream.

I actually tested this one.

if (!function_exists(convert_url_to_bbcode_callback_auto_title)) {
    function convert_url_to_bbcode_callback_auto_title($messagetext, $prepend)
    {
    	// the auto parser - adds [url] tags around neccessary things
    	$messagetext = str_replace('\"', '"', $messagetext);
    	$prepend = str_replace('\"', '"', $prepend);

    	static $urlSearchArray, $urlReplaceArray, $emailSearchArray, $emailReplaceArray;
    	if (empty($urlSearchArray))
    	{
    		$taglist = '\[b|\[i|\[u|\[left|\[center|\[right|\[indent|\[quote|\[highlight|\[\*' .
    			'|\[/b|\[/i|\[/u|\[/left|\[/center|\[/right|\[/indent|\[/quote|\[/highlight';
    		$urlSearchArray = array(
    			"#(^|(?<=[^_a-z0-9-=\]\"'/@]|(?<=" . $taglist . ")\]))((https?|ftp|gopher|news|telnet)://|www\.)((\[(?!/)|[^\s[^$`\"'|{}<>])+)(?!\[/url|\[/img)(?=[,.!)]*(\)\s|\)$|[\s[]|$))#siU"
    		);

    		$urlReplaceArray = array(
    			"[url]\\2\\4[/url]"
    		);




    		$emailSearchArray = array(
    			"/([ \n\r\t])([_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[^\s]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,4}))/si",
    			"/^([_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[^\s]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,4}))/si"
    		);

    		$emailReplaceArray = array(
    			"\\1[email]\\2[/email]",
    			"[email]\\0[/email]"
    		);
    	}

    	$text = preg_replace_callback($urlSearchArray, "auto_title", $messagetext);

    	if (strpos($text, "@"))
    	{
    		$text = preg_replace($emailSearchArray, $emailReplaceArray, $text);
    	}

    	return $prepend . $text;
    }
    
    function auto_title_http_get($url){ 

        $url_stuff = parse_url($url); 
        $port = isset($url_stuff['port']) ? $url_stuff['port'] : 80; 

        $fp = fsockopen($url_stuff['host'], $port); 

        $query  = "GET " . $url_stuff['path'] ."?". $url_stuff['query'] . " HTTP/1.0\n"; 
        $query .= "Host: " . $url_stuff['host']; 
        $query .= "\n\n"; 

        fwrite($fp, $query); 

       $buffer = fread($fp, 8192);

        preg_match('/Content-Length: ([0-9]+)/', $buffer, $parts); 

        return substr($buffer, - $parts[1]); 

    }
    function auto_title ($text)
    {

        if ($text[2] == 'www.' or $text[2] == 'WWW.') {
            $text[4] = $text[2] . $text[4]; 
            $text[2] = 'http://'; 
        }

        $paged = @fopen( $text[2] . $text[4], "r" ); #echo $page . "DONE"; 

        $page = auto_title_http_get($paged);

        preg_match("/<title>[\n\r\s]*(.*)[\n\r\s]*<\/title>/", $page, $title);

        if ($title[1] == '') {

        }
            return "[url=\"" . $text[2] . $text[4] . "\"]" . preg_replace("/\&.+\;/", '', $title[1]) . "[/url]";
    }

}

$messagetext = preg_replace(
    '#(^|\[/(' . $skiptaglist . ')\])(.*(\[(' . $skiptaglist . ')|$))#siUe',
    "convert_url_to_bbcode_callback_auto_title('\\3', '\\1')",
    $messagetext
);

You are going to find that fsockopen can fall under the same security restrictions as fopen depending on the host.. Examples:

http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread2690.html

http://www.webhostingtalk.com/archiv.../t-501791.html

So, yeah, I suppose your method COULD replace fopen, but the same reason why you would want to, could apply also to your solution.

After installed look like old thread that contains link do not retrieve the title,this need to rebuild thread and post cache?

Work on new parsed link only.

Please advise.

[Jafo232]

Works on new threads only.

It only reads the pages title. So my advice would be to work on your page titles.

[VADOS]

So sorry... =(
