Link preview in posts

Podio.com does it pretty well.
There's something like this on github: https://github.com/LeonardoCardoso/Facebook-Link-Preview

@a_5mith uhm... two things I don't like
- it's painfully slow
- I don't like to feed something as important as the embedding via a third party service. What happens when it goes down?
Still, it's a quick workaround for now.
How hard would it be to develop a plugin to embed.ly?
I'm asking because we're having some issues with the twitter embed plugin and other embeds.
-
@Giorgio-Chiodi, I think @Schamper had been working on an Embed.ly plugin, but it isn't finished yet.
-
@Albus Is it on git? Can we take a look at it?
-
It doesn't look like it, however, I've only seen it mentioned by him in a single post - so unsure of the official status.
Edit:
@Schamper said:a_5mith reminds me that I still have a half finished embed.ly plugin somewhere... Yeah I'll probably ditch that, plenty of embedding plugins by now
Not looking so hot.
-
@a_5mith, originally I was just posting to help direct @Giorgio-Chiodi, so you might want to get a response from them. Thanks anyways
-
@Albus I think that the problem is that having so many different plugins form different developers. Makes it really hard to keep track of what's updated and what's not. The twitter embed plugin isn't working for us, for example.
-
@Giorgio-Chiodi The twitter one wasn't made by me, so if the original author doesn't keep it up to date. It's GG unfortunately. You get the same issue with Wordpress and any other platform that supports plugin development. It's just Wordpress actively tells you the pluging hasn't been updated and won't work with your version etc.
-
@Giorgio-Chiodi Try this for the twitter...
npm install nodebb-plugin-embedlyHaven't tested it with Twitter, but this should replace the need for most embedding plugins like Twitter, soundcloud etc, as it will use embedlys api to create a "card" If you prefer, I can change the syntax so it's not automatic if you like...
Something like
[embed]URL[/embed]etc if you don't like the auto embed. It also works on the homepage, as it's not an iFrame. -
@a_5mith VERY COOL
It works! http://146.185.184.104:4567/topic/1/testsetsetet/3
you got a flattr account or something?
-
@Giorgio-Chiodi I don't, I don't fully understand how it works.
I have a paypal account though if that's helpful. But you don't have to. 
-
What's the status with "Offsite URL Link Posts"?
@a_5mith pluggin seems to work for Twitter and Soundcloud, do you have a list of all supported websites, does it work for Facebook?
Shouldn't this type of feature be an integral part of NodeBB?? I find it very important and I'm hoping to see it happen soonish.

Yepp.
-
I would be in favor of having this NOT use a 3rd party API, but instead be built in the system.

People are lazy, anything you can make that will simplify their lives is winner. This one feature certainly helped Social networks grow over traditionnal forums. Look kids, you can post stuff but you don't have to type anything, how cool is that?
