Le SMS est mort, vive le RCS !

On entend de plus en plus parler du RCS, le nouveau protocole qui va progressivement remplacer l’actuel SMS qui est en perte de vitesse, relégué au second rang par les applications de messagerie instantanée. On vous dit tout sur le RCS qui s’annonce comme...

BUT with automatic sharing service like IFTTT it take the first image of course, it's a problem.

How to resolve it please ?

[arranka]

I would also add that there is no facebook embed for nodebb

that is, the inverse case, if you want to share some facebook in nodebb you can not

Iframely has Facebook embedding IIRC

[arranka]

for Iframely you have to pay?
Is there nothing else for face without having to worry about a payment?

You can seld-host an iframely server

We see this too, we get either the author's pic or the ads on the sidebar.

@Yannick-Deslandes @arranka Maybe using this Facebook meta tags will help you to customize the preview (especially the og:image meta tag which allows you to choose a custom image for the preview):

<meta property="og:url"                content="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/19/arts/international/when-great-minds-dont-think-alike.html" />
<meta property="og:type"               content="article" />
<meta property="og:title"              content="When Great Minds Don’t Think Alike" />
<meta property="og:description"        content="How much does culture influence creative thinking?" />
<meta property="og:image"              content="http://static01.nyt.com/images/2015/02/19/arts/international/19iht-btnumbers19A/19iht-btnumbers19A-facebookJumbo-v2.jpg" />

Theoretically, it will look like this:

That's not what we get. We get what you don't want. I want what you want.
