Hi there,

behance.net seems to work only on main page url but any other like profile or gallery items ulrs not are not embeeding in post.
Please could make that works in next update?
Many thanks for plugin, does the job! ?
 

This bug should be fixed in the upcoming version after removing the urlmeta API dependency.

Would love to see the option to include more content from the link. I would like to be able to include an excerpt of the content. 

Planned.

in the mean time, it retrieves header data only.

This feature has been requested before by @Michael R

And I've already added it to my plan (No due date decided for it to be honest).

Hope it will soon release

This plugin seems to affect the editor - so it should work with Pages posts also?

It extend Text/Parser class, so it works on all editor areas.

Thank you!

@A Zayed Just wondering what happens when you post an url of an image that is dynamic or protected? will it show a broken image after a while?

it would be better to use the built in imageproxy feature.

About that, This is a general question but maybe you know, what if you set cache remote images for 1 week, does it get the original image from the external server or from withing? I'm confused that if you set the cache duration to 1 week or something the image might get broken after that period, if it needs to fetch from another website constantly.

Guess you need to set it on Indefinitely then.

@A Zayed i know this is a long shot, but doesn't hurt to ask.

In the past i used an addon called Media Tag, where we could create custom oembed links. In the mean time this addon was removed from the marketplace because it was not updated since ips 4.1, although it was partially still working. 

When i first installed your rich links addon, although your addon ignores the default oembed links by ips, it would cause the custom oembed links from the other addon to stop working, because it would show them as a rich link instead of the oembed. So i just disabled that media tag addon. 

Now i found another addon that is up to date, (NE) oembedServices management  by @Nathan Explosion, but im afraid to buy it and the same thing will happen.

What I'm asking is if you know why this happens and if there is anything that can be done to fix it. 

Thanks. 

 

I tested this plugin with Nathans plugin and I couldn't find any errors, so I would assume that both plugins are working side by side without any conflict. Both internal and external links are rich embedded (except internal links that are pointing e.g. to /forums or /calendar, but this is normal. Only records are embedded).

@A Zayed I have some small question though:

• After embedding external links the embedded content is editable. My suggestion would be, if possible, to prevent editing so users or mods do not accidentally alter the embedding. This happens only after embedding, saving and editing the post again
• Are only those images pulled by the plugin that are marked as meta or og-image? I tested with a site with a lot of images and only the title and text is pulled (I checked to pull every available information)
• Is it a wanted behaviour that we cannot move the embedded content like the default ones (e.g. quotes or videos with the little movement indicator in the top left corner). Same as above, only after saving and editing the post again

Cheers,
Phil

Thanks for the fast reply 🙂

Could you please send me url sample?

I tried with https://hytale.com/ and https://hytale.com/media

No, You already can move the block to whatever area inside the editor.

Yes, but as soon as you save the post and you edit it again you cannot move the embedded content anymore. It behaves like it is content you wrote. You would have to cut and paste it to move it.

Best regards,
Phil

Aha, yes this is due to the same reason of the 1st point... Content is posted as written content, not IFrame like default IPS content.

Yes, I got what you mean, The plugin captures og:image, twitter:image, image meta names or properties... If none of them are found it skips it.

This is better than capturing image randomly from the page.

I see and I totally agree. Thanks for the clarification 🙂

Hello @A Zayed, for some reason the plugin suddenly has stopped working. I've updated to the newest version, uninstalled it completely and re-installed it anew, repeteatedly cleaned cache, removed other plugin that that has been added since then - nothing helps. Issue persists on different browsers and accounts. Pasting any link results in following code being generated (here is an example for google).

<a href="https://google.com" ipsnoembed="true">https://google.com</a>

This occurs regardless of the contents of embedding blacklist too. I have no ideas how to fix this, please advise. Oh, and there's nothing in error logs of course.

I'm kinda confused with the image handling. Is there a way to prevent broken external images? 

Thanks in advance @A Zayed

Hello @A Zayed!

Thank you for the plugin. I have it installed. It seems to work, but not for links from our parent site.

Do you know why it wouldn't or can't embed links like this?

https://www.careinnovations.org/resources/telehealth-and-telephone-visits-in-the-time-of-covid-19-sample-fqhc-workflows/

Our community is on a subdomain of this site: community.careinnovations.org

But the parent site has so many pages we want to reference and embed.

Thanks for any help!

Hello I have just purchased and installed this plugin.. its not working for example it does not embed this link..

https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1384811/brexit-news-boris-johnson-fishing-brexit-deal-uk-eu-trade-latest-update

I have a problem with images not wanting to show. Anyway I could get you to take a look at it?

It works, could you please double check plugin configurations?

Could you provide this url to check what's wrong?

@A Zayed

What configuration could cause images not to display? 

I have tried troubleshooting it but am unable to find a solution. Happens on every theme as well. 

Sorry, it's not working as I thought it would.

We need to type the whole url for it to work. We can't copy and paste links.

Even when it do works, it's somewhat broken. No favicon and all... I'm uninstalling it.

Just pressing "Enter" after writing or paste will parse the embed. 

Ok I got it. Unfortunately it doesn't work on Edge. The browser automatically modifies the title of the link when we copy/paste it from the search bar.

Is it possible to reduce the title and adress font size? Thank you again.

@A Zayed Hi, is there any reason for this happening?

Link is showing on top of image when hovered over and the arrow pointing down is showing this text:

https://esahubble.org//assets/images/favicon.031037e8e40

This is on IPS 4.6

@A Zayed here's another issue that has cropped up in another link I added.

When I added the link into the topic it appeared like this:

When I posted the topic it turned into this:

The URL is: https://www.cruse.org.uk/

 

EpicGames doesn't allow remote requests, always getting httpResponseCode 403 when performing the request.
