[#5457] Check Link to include in CB-activitystream

Hello,

a user wanted to share this following link by activity-stream as a link. CB-Activity unfortunately only shows the post-text without the link. other links are working fine.


www.medical-tribune.de/fuer-patienten/artikeldetail/demente-leben-lassen-statt-verwahren.html

can you please check if cb activity has a Problem with parsing the content of this site and how this problem maybe can be solved that the users can share all kind of links without problems?

thanks a lot for your help in advance!

Best regards,
Stefan

Looks like there's a UTF8 encoding error causing json_encode to fail. The below will fix this and have implemented for next release.

Note the above is just a quickfix. The official fix will detect the encoding of the page and convert it accordingly with the above being a fallback if mb_detect_encoding isn't available.

There's also a metadata parsing issue as those sites are using <meta property= instead of <meta name=. I'm adding to the XML parsing for attachments to look for property now as well to solve this for next release (and next nightly of course).

Hello Kyle,

thank you very much for your reply and your help. I'll use your code-line to fix it temporarily.

Best regards,
Stefan

Should be fixed now in latest CB Activity nightly. It'll try to detect the encoding if the functions are available otherwise it does the above.
