Auto Link Titles 1.0.10

Chris Deeming submitted a new resource:

Auto Link Titles - While a URL is being auto linked, the page title is fetched and added to the post.

Oh God, this is so cool. ragtek has made a Addon like this long time ago, but its not working anymore. THX!!

Can you still use the URL in bbcode like usually and give a custom link title in articles (or whatever) this way?

 

[Chris D]

Yeah.
[url="http://www.google.co.uk"]Yes you can[/url] produces:

The process only kicks in if a URL in the post needs to be automatically linked.

Hmm, for me that´s works only for links to external sites. Internal links will not be changed

It's been tested and it definitely works.

[DRaver]

No, no password.

The only thing is, that is a german forum, but i think that is not a problem.

If you send me a URL I will do some testing for you.

Ragteks add-on still works fine. But we had to debug some character issues with it.

Good to see a fully supported new add-on now.

 

[Marcus]

Will rebuilding posts update old ones?

 

[Chris D]

No.
