XF 2.2 unfurl fails randomly - all links are just links to forum posts?

[TUG]

i do a "top 5 most popular threads" post each month with links to....the top 5 most popular threads for the month.

each time only 2 or 3 of the links actually unfurl? im pretty baffled by this and have verified:

1. the url unfurl code is identical on all the links.
2. all the links are valid and simply go to existing threads on the same forum
3. there are no errors in the unfurl checker


can see the live page here, for this month only 2 of the 5 links "unfurled". Certainly not a critical issue in any way shape or form, but it bugs me.

Are they correctly UNFURLing alone in a post for example? Or do they refuse everywhere?

 

[TUG]

i did the same type of post last month with the same results.

perhaps its just something related to having multiple urls in a post?

ive never encountered an issue with unfurling a single url etc.

Thread 'I wonder how the XenForo developers made this forum software'

Sep 4, 2024

I am trying to make my own forum software, but I noticed that this is really hard. And, I wonder, how the XenForo developers started making forum software? What is your advice for making forum software? I can not find any documentation or thread about this topic, I am asking this question in here because I think asking question to the XenForo developers is better way. Also this is my first thread, I hope I am posting this thread in the correct forum.

All URL comes from the New post widget on the forum list...

 

[TUG]

yea im at a bit of a loss. ive never encountered an unfurl error on my site before....though admittedly 99.9% of all urls posted are just one in a single thread vs a series of 5 in a row?

I did some tests in replies on that first post using the urls that DIDNT unfurl in the top 5 list, and they all unfurl fine on their own posts?

 

[TUG]

on the exact same thread, this thread did NOT unfurl in the original post, but unfurls fine in its own reply:

Can you not test by editing the bbcode from embed to unfurl?

 

[TUG]

yea i dont get any of them to unfurl when pasting the links in this thread as a test either using url unfurl code

XF 2.3 Thread '2.3.3: German Umlauts (ä, ö, ü) are no longer resolved in URLs'

Sep 5, 2024

Hello everyone,

I have now upgraded from XenForo 2.2 to 2.3 (currently to 2.3.3). Since there were major changes, I carried out an intensive check for errors (especially in my adapted design) after the upgrade. I noticed that despite activating "Use fully friendly URLs" my umlauts in the URLs are no longer resolved:

From the thread title "Wir bauen um für Euch!" will no longer be

h**ps://www.xyz.de/forum/themen/wir-bauen-um-fuer-euch.123456/

rather

I first looked in the settings, there used to be an option...

As designed Thread 'When uploading an avatar the selected image disappears'

Sep 5, 2024

Username > Edit avatar > Upload new custom avatar > Select file
The image appears to go up, but disappears without giving you time to click on Okay.
Some users upload their avatar multiple times and this could be the reason if the image is processed without clicking Okay.

It also happens in xenforo.com.

ok so whats different here? just the numbers?

 

[Old Nick]

I really don't know. I just tried.

 

[TUG]

so bizarre, ive tried it every which way. removing all spaces, removing numbers, adding numbers in line... always the same 3 dont unfurl unless they are in a separate post.

another user suggested it might have something to do with the url length? is unfurl limited by url length by chance? though that doesnt explain why they all work fine on their own.

 

[Chromaniac]

just wanted to mention here that unfurl only works if the link is in independent line without anything before or after. even a space before the link would bypass the unfurl feature iirc. but yeah, it is definitely weird if unfurl does not happen for fourth link in a post.

Without any space at the start.

[TUG]

i tried it every which way i could think of in editing that first post with 5 links, including just 5 links on their own lines and removing all the numbers etc.

one super bizarre twist is that when I posted one of the links on its own in a reply, it not only unfurled fine...but the link in the OP now appeared unfurled.

this worked on 4 out of the 5 links. with one still remaining unfurled.

 

[TUG]

as it sits now.... every url is on its own line, no spaces or characters before or after each link on its own line.

 

[TUG]

and all 5 of the links unfurl fine in that very same thread if they are included in their own individual replies. (including line 2 which still wont unfurl in the op)

 

[Chromaniac]

one super bizarre twist is that when I posted one of the links on its own in a reply, it not only unfurled fine...but the link in the OP now appeared unfurled.

yeah xenforo uses existing data for unfurled urls. so basically you can try unfurling the fifth url in a new post and see if it works in the post with five links as well. i can only imagine that this is hitting some sort of a limit on the server because xenforo itself does not seem to have any restrictions on number of unfurled urls in a post. (update: i guess it didn't work as per your post #18 above)

even hitting the preview button in post editor would process the link and add the unfurl data in database which can be used for existing links in posts. it does come quite handy to update links.
