[nodebb-plugin-link-preview] Rich Embeds and Link Previews

[crazycells]

I do not know if it is possible, but I still think it would be very cool to have a pdf previews in the forum, so users do not have to leave the forum to check the pdf documents...

@julian Just to confirm that this plugin did not come bundled when I installed it.
I found and installed and activated with no issue, but it was not part of the basic install.

[julian]

@darkpollo you're right, the plugin isn't bundled with new installs

[benyto]

@julian works fine, thanks
would be nice to have links opened in new tab or configurable at least

[julian]

thanks for commenting @benyto . The plugin follows NodeBB's behaviour in not modifying anchor target. The end user can ctrl-click the link to open in a new tab, shift-click to open in new window, etc.

I installed the plugin via dashboard plugins.

NodeBB v3.10.3

I did a rebuild, the plugin appears, but saving settings does not work.
In addition, I have this error in the console: “admin.min.js?v=o50k63atqko:1 error loading admin/plugins/link-preview
Error: Cannot find module './plugins/link-preview'”

What did I do wrong?

[nhl.pl]

What kind of hosting? Some container based and one click installs do not support updating plugins from dashboard. Please try to do the same thing from command line.

[Paweł]

I have VPS, and other plugins works fine, I have only problem with this. Save button dosen't work in plugin settigns.
/admin/plugins/link-preview

When I click "Save changes"/"Zapisz zmiany" - nothing happen, and after refresh page changes on checkboxes are gone.

@Paweł hello again, when you run ./nodebb build, do you see any errors?

[Paweł]

@Paweł check your plugins, looks like one of them is included a non-js file in the scripts block of its plugin.json

[Paweł]

@baris How should I find it in the admin panel or in the source code on the server?

Edit:
Ok I found the problem! grep -r ";cc0 1.0 universal" - there was problem with depreacted plugin nodebb-plugin-html5videoplayer - I removed this and know everythong works fine!

Thanks a lot for your quick help! This is my first time using NodeBB.

[baris]

@Paweł no problem, yeah you can grep for stuff in the node_modules directory to find the culprit. Or you can disable plugins one by one. ./nodebb plugins command shows active plugins.
