Show Thread Enhancements - Title Tag Fetcher (Auto Replace URL with Titletag)

Hi there.

Since I needed a new URL Autotext Generator, I always loved the prework of Jafo232 and his Replace URL's With Page Title.
I just did some modifications on this Mod and for some forseeing mistypings, I also leaned out the checking of the "www" if given.

For those who don't know that mod it's quite simple:
If you post an URL in the Forums, this Mod just loads the <title>XXXXXX</title> out of the linked website.

The title won't be read if the following conditions occur:

• The linked page simply has no <title>-Tag
• The page is down or the <title>-Tag is not being found within the first 60 seconds
• The <title>-Tag is not being found within the first 1000 lines of code.

Installation:
Just import the XML via the ACP and thats all.

Uninstall:
Just kill it out of your ACP.

Fixed Typo which got us a parse error

Oh I see. No. It's just an update that incorporates the changes. People who don't feel comfortable editing the plugin code can just import the new product and this will do the updates automatically. Additionally, one of the text files includes the information on ensuring that allow_url_fopen = On after an upgrade to PHP 7.x.

Right, yes,
allow_url_fopen = On
must be on!

Thank you for clarifying.

I just tried original version, but have one problem. Plugin works great with replacing links with titles, but when I place link to video, AME doesn't translates it into embedded video, but it becomes link.

I tried to play with plugin execution order, it didn't helped (I used 50 and 1).

Is there a way to give AME chance to see if it is video link and then let this plugin does it's work after AME?

EDIT, just to add, AME uses this hooks: data_preparse_bbcode_video_start and data_parse_bbcode_video. Maybe if we include this hooks within plugin code would allow AME to work with it?

Okay so should we bail on this entirely and just install this one:

Either way. My post just incorporates changes and comments already posted here into a package that's easy to install. It works perfectly on my forums.

If you check my post at Auto Title Tag Fetcher (Title Tag as Anchor Text) for vB 4.2.5 & PHP7, you'll see I credit you and the other posts in this thread that my post draws upon.
