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.

I haven't tested this but you can try-

In the plugin for this mod find the line:

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

And replace it with the following:

PHP Code:

$fullurl = $text[2].$text[4];
$baddomains = array ('facebook.com',
                     'wikipedia.com',
                     'microsoft.com'  );

foreach ($baddomains AS $thisbad)
{
  if (stripos('x'.$fullurl, $thisbad) //If the bad domain is found in the URL
    return "[url=\"" . $fullurl . "\"]" .$fullurl . "[/url]";
}
//If we get this far it's not a bad domain...
return "[url=\"" . $fullurl . "\"]" . preg_replace("/\&.+\;/", '', $title[1]) . "[/url]"; 


And obviously you add or remove domain names by making sure they are between single quotes with a comma between each, like facebook.com, wikipedia.com, and microsoft.com in the example. No idea if those are really bad domains or not. I've had trouble with Wikipedia in the past.

I get this error when posting, but thank you so much for working on this.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_RETURN in /home/rjerick/public_html/mpbp/forum/includes/functions_newpost.php(199) : eval()'d code on line 69

I really want to get this working because i would also love to ignore urls that AME wants to handle.

Edit
fixed it, Just a little oversite.

if (stripos('x'.$fullurl, $thisbad)

was missing and extra ) at the end, should be

if (stripos('x'.$fullurl, $thisbad))

So thank you very much for this mod to a mod it works great!

changed the maxversion="4.3.9

While importing product on 4.2 received this ...

Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in [path]/includes/class_core.php on line 724

??

[BirdOPrey5]

Can you import any other product? This looks like an error with your product system not this specific product.

[Mr_Running]

Yes, I can import other products without any warnings.

Everything so far seems to be working even with the warning after importing this mod. I will post back if there is any change.

[Evoklub]

During install, I got this message:



After that, install is successfull, but the mod doesn't work.

Can you help me?

Certain urls give time outs when posting with using this mod on vb4
Most of the time it's ok
anyone know of a fix?

It's not related to this version but it does the same thing for VB5: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=288954
