Auto-Fill

Geoserv · #1 (**permalink**) 01-30-2008, 09:39 PM

I am trying to get the script to GET the metas for description and auto fill the description box on submit.

Much like it auto fills the title field.

Anyone have this working or have a starting point?

Not yet, I was thinking something like this would have done it:

Code:

preg_match("|<meta[^>]*description[^>]*content=\"([^>]+)\"[^>]*>|Ui",$headers[1], $matches);

but not sure yet how to implement it. I added in libs/link.php, but thats as far as I got.

Ok, I am making progress with this, but need a little help.

In libs/link.php:

Code:

if ( preg_match ( '~<meta(.+?)name="description"(.+?)>~i',  $this->html, $matches ) )
{
  $description = preg_replace( '~^(.+?)content="([^"]+?)"(.+?)$~i', '$2', $matches[1].$matches[2] );
  echo $description;
}

in submit_step_2.tpl:

[cod]<textarea name="bodytext" rows="10" cols="55" id="bodytext" WRAP=SOFT onkeyup="if(this.form.summarycheckbox.checked == false) {ldelim}this.form.summarytext.value = this.form.bodytext.value.substring(0, {$StorySummary_ContentTruncate});{rdelim}textCount er(this.form.summarytext,this.form.remLen, {$StorySummary_ContentTruncate});">{$description}</textarea>[/code]

It is fetching the meta description of the URL submitted, but it is placing it above my content.

Any ideas?

Heres my libs/link.php file so you can see where I have mine placed.

Its starts on line 99:

PHP Code:

  if( preg_match( '~<title>(.*?)([^:\-]*?)</title>~is', str_replace( '&raquo;', ':', $this->html ), $matches ) ){

$this->url_title = $matches[2];

}

 
if ( preg_match ( '~<meta(.+?)name="description"(.+?)>~i', $this->html, $matches ) ){

$description = preg_replace( '~^(.+?)content="([^"]+?)"(.+?)$~i', '$2', $matches[1].$matches[2] );

echo $description;

}

 
 
 
// Detect trackbacks

if (!empty($_POST['trackback'])) {

$this->trackback=trim($_POST['trackback']);

} elseif (preg_match('/trackback:ping="([^"]+)"/i', $this->html, $matches) ||

preg_match('/trackback:ping +rdf:resource="([^>]+)"/i', $this->html, $matches) ||

preg_match('/<trackback:ping>([^<>]+)/i', $this->html, $matches)) {

$this->trackback=trim($matches[1]);

} elseif (preg_match('/<a[^>]+rel="trackback"[^>]*>/i', $this->html, $matches)) {

if (preg_match('/href="([^"]+)"/i', $matches[0], $matches2)) {

$this->trackback=trim($matches2[1]);

}

} elseif (preg_match('/<a[^>]+href=[^>]+>trackback<\/a>/i', $this->html, $matches)) {

if (preg_match('/href="([^"]+)"/i', $matches[0], $matches2)) {

$this->trackback=trim($matches2[1]);

}

}

 
}

When I try to add

Quote:

pligg.com

it shows this:

Quote:

content="Pligg Content Management System"

above all of my content.

When I do a page source, this is what it looks like:

Quote:

content="Pligg Content Management System"
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

I think this is going to be a smarty issue.

Any smarty pros available to take a peak?
