Trimming the title

[Geoserv]

A lot of submissions, especially blogs, when submitted show a title similar to:

Website name : page title

The only pertinent information there is the page title, so to clean this up do the following:

open libs/link.php and find:

if(preg_match("'<title>([^<]*?)</title>'", $this->html, $matches)) {
			$this->url_title=trim($matches[1]);
		}

change to:

if(preg_match("'<title>([^<]*?)</title>'", $this->html, $matches)) {
            $url_title=trim($matches[1]);
            $url_title = explode(":",$url_title);
            $this->url_title = $url_title[1]; 

}

Thats it.

This only works for new submissions and not current ones, and only submission in the format of Website name : Page title

Tested only in 9.8.2, but the code 9.9.0 looks the same. Backup the above file before applying mod.

Please attach your link.php file here so I can have a look.

It works sometimes not all of the time.. It will depend on how the websites have it setup.

It worked when it was just title as the address but when they had for example..

What : Something : The story


Something would show up and not story...

I think the code only Eliminates if they have it setup like Website name : the story..

so eliminates everything before the :

[Geoserv]

That is true.

Let me try to figure out a solution.

Also when I added the code and tried to add a url that was already submitted I get the following error in the header, This might also happen when you submit a new url but I didn't have a new url to submit and try !

Thanks so much for helping me with this! It's greatly appreciates!

fp = fsockopen(($this->_protocol == 'https' ? 'tls://' : '') . $this->_host, $this->_port, $errno, $errstr, 20); if(!$this->_fp) {return("BADURL");} fwrite($this->_fp, $req); while(is_resource($this->_fp) && $this->_fp && !feof($this->_fp)) $response .= fread($this->_fp, 1024); fclose($this->_fp); // split header and body $pos = strpos($response, $crlf . $crlf); if($pos === false) return($response); $header = substr($response, 0, $pos); $body = substr($response, $pos + 2 * strlen($crlf)); // parse headers $headers = array(); $lines = explode($crlf, $header); foreach($lines as $line) if(($pos = strpos($line, ':')) !== false) $headers[strtolower(trim(substr($line, 0, $pos)))] = trim(substr($line, $pos+1)); // redirection? if(isset($headers['location'])) { $http = new HTTPRequest($headers['location']); return($http->DownloadToString($http)); } else { return($body); } } } ?>

I altered your link.php, its attached.

I also added a fix so if a submission is formatted:

Website name : Category : Page title

you will still only display the Page Title and the rest is automatically removed.

Change the code to this so if the format is that or website name: page title it will work:

if(preg_match("'<title>([^<]*?)</title>'", $this->html, $matches)) {
            $url_title=trim($matches[1]);
            $url_title = preg_split("/:|\-/", $url_title);
            $url_title = array_slice($url_title, -1);
            $this->url_title = $url_title[0];
