You can manually set your desired name to url. Follow it
replace "{" with "["

{url=you url}desired url name{/url}

^^He didn't meant that. He meant what's the logic behind this conversion from normal URL to URL Tags.

1. Get the HTML of the URL to a javascript object
2. Get the Title of the page from the <title> element.

this means i have to extract all page details and store in Javascript Object.
and just to extract title of page from object

but here in this forum ,it seems to be happening so quick that i don't think there is complete page load from 3rd party and save only title

i have to try....

Honestly even I don't know but what is fascinating is how people are misinterpreting OPs query.

However the same doesn't happen to goo.gl and bit.ly links.

I hope you are searching for *www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=155909

Though, I am not sure if TDF mods have used the same, but it is similar I guess.

Additionally, I fear if it's vulnerable for XSS.
