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:
Consider nominating for MOTM if you like it!

Sorry for the delay- this mght happen if there were many URLs to fetch at once- or some other reason it was going slow. Increasing the max time to 60 seconds should help if possible.

Does this happen all the time or only on occasion?

I installed it on my site and it works quite nicely. However some website developers embed a shortened link on the page in the Title Tag. This makes the Title Tag not display appropriately.

Example:
http://businessdayonline.com/2014/07...vote-tomorrow/#.U7w9MpS9nmc

The above link does not display because of the highligted part.

is it possible to fix this somehow?

http://businessdayonline.com/2014/07...vote-tomorrow/
without the highlighted part displays apprpopriately

[BirdOPrey5]

Thanks, that is definitely a bug, let me work on it, I'll let you know when I have a fix.

Updated-

In my test I couldn't replicate this problem. I had to take a guess at the problem URL because the VB software here shortened it.

Is this the URL that was having the problem?

http://businessdayonline.com/2014/07/lafarges-landmark-deal-shareholders-vote-tomorrow/#.U7w9MpS9nmc

If not please paste the exact, full, URL not working inside the [code] BB Code.

If that was the URL causing the issue then please let me know what version of VB 5.x and what version of PHP you are running, and if possible, a link to a thread where it happened.

[kehindelawal]

Thanks. it happened on the thread here http://nigerianinvestorforum.com/for...=1405280733539
i am on vb 5.1.2 and php 5.5
That is the correct link

[kehindelawal]

Most link are now just showing as LINK. i wonder what might be wrong. my site is here...nigerianinvestorforum.com

[kehindelawal]

still not working well. while some website display the title adequately, some just default to the LINK.

will like to get this working plss!

Installed the mod on vB 5.1.5 because the included video link is not very useful if users can not user YouTube Short codes (even though it states it's supported format). This worked perfect for embedding YouTube videos.

Marked as installed...... Thanks! Time saver!

Installed and working on 5.1.6.

Having an issue when editing posts though. Links show up truncated when editing, and as such, the link is no longer rewritten once the post is saved. Not sure if that's an issue with the mod or VB5's forced truncation though.

/edit
Got the above bit worked out. Was the forced truncation. Modified the bbcode_url functions and all's well.

Thanks for reporting this, I will look into it and post an update.
