External Link Titles, retrieve descriptive titles for URLs
Developer Last Online: Feb 2012 
This modification is in the archives.
Keywords: SHOWTHREAD, external, link, titles, URLs, SEO
Description: Retrieves descriptive titles for external posted links. Allows for better link recognition and, in theory, could help increase page SEO. Details: I recall this being requested somewhere, so I decided to take a stab at it. This is yet another feature offered in vBSEO. For those unaware of what this actually does.. by default, when a URL is posted without a description it looks like: http://www.vbulletin.com With this modification enabled, it will now look like: vBulletin.org Forum - The Official vBulletin Resource! Nicer, eh? Installation:
Notes: There's really no magic here, it polls for titles using the cURL() function. If for some reason your host does not have cURL() enabled, you're out of luck. From time to time you may notice the occasional link that does not get titled -- this is due to either the fact that the url is not active or it either timed out waiting for a response. By default, the system will wait for 5 seconds before timing out. If you wish to modify the timeout, you may do so via the AdminCP. Comments: As with all my hacks, this modification is provided free of charge. However, if you find this product useful and have money burning a hole in your pocket, feel free to make a small donation, I won't mind.. really.  Version History:

 Yes that was the issue, as when I used the initial release I guess it was on by default then as I didn't go into the admin panel.

Installed and enabled the hack. Yes is checked.
Server has curl enabled. When i post something new and click on review, I have this error at the top of the page Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /includes/functions_newpost.php(360) : eval()'d code on line 56 No members have liked this post.

As a followup, I edited the functions_newpost.php file and add after the <?php tag
// Turn off all error reporting error_reporting(0); Not sure if this is a proper way to do it. If anyone knows , please let me know. No members have liked this post.
