It doesn't really clarify for me how vbSEO is getting the title "OpenAds" (a manifestation of the old virtualhosts issue) from the domain Openads when it is locally pulled from the ih8mud servers, but it does at least help solidify my case that the bug is in the vbSEO code and not a server misconfiguration.


Now if only their programmers would give you the time of day

I hear we are having issue reproducing this now.

Right. No bug here



Anyways, vbSEO people, try it for yourself. Create a user really quick so you can post, and then copy and paste the code from here:
vbSEO test code

All I did to get that was copy down the table on the memberlist (in firefox just ctl+shift+click) and paste into a WYSIWYG vB editor on another forum, drop the editor down to simple mode to get the code, and then pasted it in here on mud.

Dear vbSEO team:

It's a little pathetic when I'm finding bugs for you.

[NaterGator]

So, I guess not that you need my help, and I can only guess at what you wanted to accomplish, but the bug seems to be on line 4685 of functions_vbseo.php

You use strstr() to compare the chunk the url is set to (url=THIS) to the stuff the [url] blocks wrap ([url]THIS[/url])

This will fail for everything where the 'title' block (the wrapped part) appears in the url (your script tries to then look that portion up as a url)

Depending on what your goal was you should either use a preg_match there or check to see if they are equal. Also, I looks like another bug is that you call continue; on a while loop with the increment command at the end past the conditional check the executes the continue; function. Perhaps I am wrong in this assumption though, because woody's server does not seem to get stuck in an infinite loop.

[NaterGator]

Let's see.

Check out this interesting page I found Openads

Yup. There's your bug.

That was supposed to be http://www.nate-online.com

Since strstr() matched the fragment 'online' (what I put inside the URL tags to appear as the title) the conditional statement failed and the script looked it up as if it was a domain.

Time for another test;
1) www.nate-online.com/
2) Laugh
3) Openads

Definitely broken.

Check it out

What's next? The broken searches due to % signs bug?

That one is just a failure to urlencode the % character. Should be easy enough to fix.
