New Posting Features - Title Tag Grabber AND Video Embedding by BOP5 for VB5

.

IMPORTANT! - Updated version released here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=325277

All New Version 3.0

Use version 3.0.1 on VB 5.1.5 and newer (tested on 5.1.7)
It has not been tested on old versions of VB5. If you still have an old version of VB5 try the Version 2.0 download.

This mod can do two things:

1. It can automatically grab the title of a page you are linking to
2. It can embed video URLs automatically

For example it will turn:

http://www.vbulletin.org

to

vBulletin.org Forum - The Official vBulletin Resource!

This is working on both the simple and complex style URL BBcodes, and it will ignore existing links if you have specified a custom title.

It can also turn a link like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxEPV4kolz0 into an embedded video without use of the [video] BB Code.

In addition there is an option to auto embed old links that were previously embedded by the AME 2.x mod for vBulletin 3.x. If you still have [AME] BB Codes in your posts this mod can do its best to embed them like they used to be with AME.

Video Embedding is currently working with Youtube (both short and original URLs) and Vimeo.com videos.

The Mod should auto install, upload files as instructed in Readme (everything goes in the usual place.) Clear the system cache to see the mod work on existing posts.

If you wanted to undo the changes made by this mod simply delete the files/remove the mod/ and clear the cache. This mod does not alter the original posts, only the cached copies.

Please "Mark as Installed" if you use this.
Donations Always Appreciated. :up:

I've tested now on several VB5 sites without issue. Do you have any other mods installed?

I just installed this on 5.1.7 and get the following at the top of the screen.

Warning: file_put_contents(result.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied in .../packages/bop5titletagsvb5/api/content/text.php on line 23 Warning: file_put_contents(nodeid.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied in .../packages/bop5titletagsvb5/api/content/text.php on line 24 Warning: file_put_contents(keys.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied in .../packages/bop5titletagsvb5/api/content/text.php on line 25

What does it mean?

Now everytime I user posts you get an error saying "error loading Post"

Getting the same error. Fresh install of 5.1.7 only other add on installed is viglink.

It seems I inadvertently left several lines of debugging code enabled in the 3.0.0 release. This code would try to create text files with varias variable dumps.

Depending on your server setup this may have caused warning messages or errors when running this mod.

I have updated to version 3.0.1 and made sure all debug code is disabled.

This works but occasionally when I edit a post it still doesn't grab the title on the save, and I have to re-edit and re-paste the full URL.

Does this mod remove the control functions, pause, full screen etc from the window within the thread?

If so, how can it be changed?

Cheers. . . ...

With vb 5.2.1 have you noticed any issue with this mod converting email addresses and other stuff into http: format? This does appear to be an issue with this mod and not with 5.2.1 because I toggled your mod on and off, and only with the mod ON did I notice the below issue:

For example on a post on my vb 5.2.1 forum I had an email address
webmaster@mysite.com
entered into a post, and the forum first converted it upon saving to look like this
< a href="http://webmaster@mysute.com</a>
(no hyperlink)

and then when I did nothing more than edit/save without touching it, it converted it to a hyperlink looking like this
http://webmaster@mysite.com

so finally I had to turn HTML ON, and add noparse /noparse tags to beginning and end and then it looked like this finally
webmaster@mysite.com
but not a hyperlink.

This seems to have something to do with the word WEB in webmaster that alerts your mod to convert to an http hyperlink.

I experienced this same issue when I tried to enter the text
test-site.php

into a post and your mod converted it in the same way as above, except directly to a bizarre hyperlink
http://test-site.php
without the interim strange conversion, again necessitating the noparse /noparse tags.

Again - I went into a test forum of mine and toggled your mod on and off, and turning it off rectified this issue, so there is an issue with your mod and vb 5.2.1

Or maybe this was there all along as a bug in your mod, and the word "web" in webmaster or the hyphen in the .php makes your mod think this is a URL to be converted.


To clarify:

Of these for example

wp-atomic.php
wp-installit.php

word-installit.php
word-atomic.php

forbear-atomic.php

The first four end up http: conversions. The last one, not.


webmaster@mysite.com
hello@mysite.com

the first with the word webmaster in it, ends up converted to http:// hyperlink. The second, remains as a webmail hyperlink.

Any plans for vb 5.2.2? Anyone know whether this mod works?

[mdawg]

It does work with 5.2.2 with the noted above issues from my 4/20/16 post.

[shimei]

Works for me using 5.2.2.
