Show Local Url Titles

[Nathaniel]

@agentx42,
Remember that they have to be Internal/Local Urls, it won't change the title or Url for external Urls. So if you put a link like "http://www.cai.servebbs.org:8080/smf/index.php/topic,47.0.html", it will replace it with the title of the thread.

The mod is for local URLs such as posting a link to another topic within the forum. If you were to post in that forum a link such as http://www.cai.servebbs.org:8080/smf/index.php?action=post;topic={topic ID} then it will show the title (subject) of that topic instead of the full URL. Hope that made sense.

EDIT: LHVWB types faster than I do. 

[agentx42]

That makes sense.... I had a bald moment 

Do you know if there is anything available for external URls?

As far as I know there is nothing, its something that I have thought about, but I haven't actually looked at implementing. It would probably involve actually looking up their webpages, so that would be a bit of a pain. If you have any suggestions for how to do that then I am more than happy to consider them.

Okay, I will have a look over it and see if I can come up with some sort of soluction.

Edit: Okay, I can see why it doesn't work, the Pretty Urls mod, completely changes the urls of the forum. I will have a look at making a version of this mod which works with that mod, but for the moment they remain incompatible.

I will do another version of this mod when the next versions of SMF come out, and I have to update them. I will try to include compatibility with the Pretty Urls mod at the same time.

this is different to pretty_urls is it?

[Nathaniel]

this is different to pretty_urls is it?

Yes its completely different, pretty urls makes your urls look different, this mod only replaces the text for your internal/local links to your posts/threads/boards which have been posted inside your forum. Because Pretty Urls changes the urls for the forums, it means that this mod will no longer detect them as local and just assume that they are external links.

I need to add a case with pretty urls being local if the pretty urls mod is installed.

Just as an update for this mod:

I am going to create version 1.2 of this mod sometime across the next few weeks, it will change the functionality of the mod so that local URLs are replaced with their titles when they are posted, as opposed to when they are viewed, I will also have an option that will allow you to convert URLs from old posts into their titles.

This is to dramatically increase the efficiency of this mod, because at the moment, it converts them every time anyone tries to view the URLs, which creates a whole load of inefficient database queries.

Thank you to Alundra for informing/reminding me about the inefficiency of this mod.

I will wait for the next release then

I like this mod. It's one of the dozen or so that I run on my production site, and most of the dozen were self-written.

That's a good improvement,  doing it when posted instead of done each time viewed. More better.

Waiting for next update to get it working with Pretty URL...

[tridirk]

Does this work with 1.1.6?  I had it with 1.1.5 and it was great, when I updated I lost it, and now it says it isn't compatible?

[Nathaniel]

It should be compatible. Try the package attached to this post.

I have been holding off the upgrade for this mod until I fix the features that need changing.

[tridirk]

That worked Great... Thanks, that is how the links should look.

@goxy86,
The compatibilty issue with the Trim Url mod, has already been addressed in an earlier post in this topic.

Here is a link to that tutorial:
