XF 2.1 UNFURL

[Old Nick]

Hello,
So now when you post an URL alone in a line she's displayed like that

Le Sporting Club | Communauté Running

Pour débuter et progresser en course à pied.

www.le-sporting-club.fr

When the URL is in sentence this happens
hello do you know this site https://www.le-sporting-club.fr/ thanks

But how can we display URL like that now ? the title of the page pointed by the URL ?

You have to wrap the URL in the BB code like this:

hello do you know this site [URL]https://www.le-sporting-club.fr/[/URL] thanks

I really dislike having to add the [URL] and [/URL] BB codes. I would prefer that Unfurling be switched off as default. I post a lot of URLs and want them left as is.

It would be nice if we could choose to have a URL Unfurled or not in the editor toolbar or some other method.

hello do you know this site [URL]https://www.le-sporting-club.fr/[/URL] thanks

doesn't work, this is the result : hello do you know this site https://www.le-sporting-club.fr/ thanks

You have to use this tool


hello do you know this site Le Sporting Club thanks

But members will not use this tool to post URL !!
I'm on your side @AndyB to get the choice of UNFURL or NOT

 

[AndyB]

I didn't realize that if the raw URL is in a sentence it will not be Unfurled.

Reading your original post, I'm not sure I understand your question, what exactly are you wanting to do?

 

[Old Nick]

Oh ok,

• I want this : hello do you know this site Le Sporting Club thanks
• Not this : hello do you know this site https://www.le-sporting-club.fr/ thanks

And to get the the first one in XF2.1 you have to use the LINK TOOL, in XF2.0 it was enough to write the URL and it was automatically transformed with the title of the corresponding page, now in a sentence the URL is not transformed, the URL is displayed as a... URL

We don’t have the URL to page titles option enabled here.

 

[Old Nick]

ok, so it is possible to enable an option in ACP and get the titles displayed instead URL ? And keep the UNFURL too when the URL is in its own line ?

 

[Chris D]

That’s right yes. And you can switch unfurls off if you want too.

Would be nice to have the option to list domains you don't want to unfurl, for example internal links.
