Auto Link Titles 1.0.10

[pecadm]

I just got an error that I'll post here, although it works well most of the time:

You would need to ask your host to enable PHP to have the mb_convert_encoding function.

 

[TheLaw]

Thanks. I'm now going to email myself to have it installed.

We have mb_convert_encoding enabled, but still receive occasional errors with certain Japanese links:

Chris D updated Auto Link Titles with a new update entry:

All known bugs fixed

This update should fix the last remaining "Invalid string value" bugs.

In addition to that, the process of getting the title should end in the event that the headers suggest that the content being fetched is either not a valid content type or is too large.

Finally, the code should now degrade gracefully if it cannot find the mb_convert_encoding function; however that function or iconv is certainly recommended and you may still experience varied results if neither of these functions is...

Working Great now with direct download url

 

[Chris D]

 

[pecadm]

Works perfect
Now also with links to sites that do not have a charset notation AND are not UTF8 encoded.

Thank you very much @Chris D

 

[DaveM]

I just did this update on both my forums now the one has stopped working completely http://www.triumphtalk.com/threads/thread-url-test.39628/

 

[Chris D]

I don't really need to see the thread (and I can't because it's not viewable to guests).

Which URLs aren't working?

 

[DaveM]

Any of them

 

[Chris D]

All working ok for me.

 

[DaveM]

Yup and they all working for me on my other forum http://goodolddaysforum.com However they now not working for me here since I ran the update http://www.triumphtalk.com

Is there a way to adjust the output names for the links? For instance, a lot of my forum members visit a much larger forum that covers the same topic. When I link to one of their threads, I get the thread name and page, but not the name of the forum. This:

http://www.styleforum.net/t/156289/random-health-and-exercise-thoughts/50595#post_7684457

Outputs this:

Random health and exercise thoughts - Page 3374

Is there a way to get the forum name in there somehow?

 

[SoeHoe]

how if user post bad link in the post? I mean, have you considered the security problem if someone enters a link that contains worm in the post?

At the moment the addon reads the page title. The best way to title a page from an SEO point of view is to include the website name as part of it.
For example this page is

<title>Auto Link Titles | Page 14 | XenForo Community</title>

That particular website does not

<title>Random health and exercise thoughts - Page 3374</title>

So it would require a change to the addon to add, say the domain of the site as an optional prefix. I wouldn't choose to use that option because the best practice is to, as I say, include the name of the site in the title, so the resulting link title would be untidy in most cases.

@Chris D I have now rolled back to AVForums_AutoLinkTitles-1.0.9 and it is now working again on this site http://www.triumphtalk.com

 

[Chris D]

Try again with the new version and if it still doesn't work shoot me a PM with a forum login and Admin CP access so I can test. If you also send me FTP credentials I can do some code debugging to find out where it's going wrong.

I may at some point need to add some improved error reporting. At the moment any errors are caught and completely hidden away, but I think it would make sense to perhaps log these errors, at least.

Same thing when I upgraded, PC sent

Thanks for the explanation Stu. I wasn't sure if there was a way to adjust individual sites based on need/want via option/template/etc.
