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:

If anyone has problems with this please specify the exact version of VB5 you are using. Big changes are coming to the editor in future versions, minor differences is version numbers will be very important for tracking issues.

Did not work on my test installation. I cleaned the system cache too. Here is a link.

im on vb version 5.0.0, and didnt work!

Sorry guys, I should have been more clear. This mod has no hope of working on 5.0.0 or 5.0.1 due to the infamous link bug, regardless of whatever else may have changed.

Beginning with the release of 5.0.2 I will resume development and at that point please be specific about any errors you find.

[Sushubh]

haha thanks. i am giving vb5.0.1 a try after having a mega disaster with 5.0.0. looks like i would have to wait for a few months more before considering moving back from ipb. plugins like these are very essential for me especially considering vbseo team has not announced any plans to release a version for vb5 yet.

So it turns out I can get the mod mostly working in VB 5.0.1. If you use "Paste as Plain Text" when you paste links into the VB5 editor, they work fine in 5.0.1. If you paste as a hyperlink you get the ugly URL BBCode but you do get a working link at least.

This bug does not exist in VB 5.0.2 and the mod works well in VB 5.0.2 for those on the beta testing team, and for everyone else soon.

I have added some new features to the mod.

Besides just grabbing titles of pages you can now also automatically embed video URLs without the use of any BBCode. Just paste a YouTube or Vimeo URL into a post and (if enabled) the mod will convert it to an embedded video.

In addition to embedding video URLs the mod can also work with databases that have been upgraded from VB 3.x where the "AME" mod was in use. The AME mod is not available for VB5 yet and I don't know if it ever will be. If you didn't clear the AME tags before upgrading to VB5 you probably have many video URLs still stuck inside the [AME] BBCode.. Such as [AME]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxEPV4kolz0[/AME]. This mod can auto-embed video URLs inside AME BBCode. Again it will work with YouTube and Vimeo URLs. (Both original YouTube URLs and the shorter youtu.be URLs.)

That is awesome. Hopefully vB5 reaches stages of usability. You have solved 2 of the issues I have with it!

This is huge. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

VB5 may be usable yet!
