URLtitle

Description

A simple plugin that detects URLs in a channel and returns the page title. Shortened URLs from Minily, Bitly, and TinyURL are resolved automatically.

Install

Go into your Limnoria plugin dir, usually ~/runbot/plugins and run:

git clone https://github.com/Alcheri/URLtitle.git

To install additional requirements, run from /plugins/URLtitle:

pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt

Next, load the plugin:

/msg bot load URLtitle

Configuring

• config channel #channel plugins.URLtitle.enabled True or False (On or Off)

  Should plugin work in this channel?

• supybot.plugins.URLtitle.userAgent

  User-Agent header sent when fetching URLs. Default is a plugin-specific Limnoria URLtitle identifier.

• config channel #channel plugins.URLtitle.showExpandedShortUrl True or False (On or Off)

  If enabled and a supported short URL (Minily, Bitly, TinyURL) is resolved, URLtitle appends the expanded destination URL in the reply.
