Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
June 19, 20204 yr I integrated my IP.board forum into an SSO system with my site, using a custom remote comment system but I have encountered a problem with the plugin. When a user enters a link on the forum, the oembed is successfully created with links to the images correctly but when one views the comment via the site, it has a problem with the image url: Example: <div class="externalLinkRichEmbed"> <div class="ipsRichEmbed" style="max-width: 500px; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1); "> <div class="ipsRichEmbed_masthead ipsRichEmbed_mastheadBg ipsType_center"> <a href="https://--.it/articolo/7572-dirt-rally-20-game-of-the-year-e-disponibile-da-oggi.html" style="background-image: url( 'https://--.it/upload/gallery/1557/dirt-rally-20-1430506358.jpg' ); background-position: center; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: cover; height: 120px; display: block;" rel=""><img alt="dirt-rally-20-1430506358.jpg" class="ipsHide" data-src="https://--.it/upload/gallery/1557/dirt-rally-20-1430506358.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png"></a> </div> <div style="padding: 10px;"> <h3 class="ipsRichEmbed_itemTitle ipsTruncate ipsTruncate_line ipsType_blendLinks"> <span><img alt="6554b6be8c0d829a8bf63ae0c82cf121_link.pn" data-src="<___base_url___>/uploads/set_resources_6/6554b6be8c0d829a8bf63ae0c82cf121_link.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png"></span> <a href="https://---.it/" style="text-decoration: none; margin-bottom: 5px;" title="Test" rel="">Test</a> </h3> <div class="ipsType_light"> --.IT </div> <hr class="ipsHr"><div class="ipsSpacer_top ipsSpacer_half" data-ipstruncate="" data-ipstruncate-size="3 lines" data-ipstruncate-type="remove" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"> <span>Test</span> </div> </div> </div> </div> how do I display the correct URL instead of <__base_url__>? Also, isn't it possible to bring up the site favicon instead of the link icon?

June 22, 20204 yr THANK YOU FOR YOUR PLUGIN! Works great, when it does, but obviously some sites won't support it. Thus, articles in Newsweek.com do not generate a preview (like this one https://www.newsweek.com/ca-sees-record-increase-new-covid-19-cases-more-20000-5-days-1512421 ). I'm just reporting this here so you know, and maybe something can be done to improve this. I'm very happy with the plugin and what it does.
July 19, 20204 yr Hello, First thank you for the good plugin. Unfortunately, my picture is not shown at % 7B ___ base_url ___% 7D ..... If I replace it with my URL, then it works. Where can I change that permanently?
August 8, 20204 yr Looks like there is some interference here with the new media embed URL's within 4.5 if anyone is looking at testing with beta 11

September 3, 20204 yr @A Zayed with IPS 4.5, if the link have and http image (not https), it will show the link above the image.

I posted a new version under approval now, The problem is that the image is blocked in case you enabled the new setting that disables insecure images (non https).

One more question. Its possible to force https on the image if its available? For example, in the example i gave you, the embed will use the http version of the image (that's why the issue occurred), but the site also have the https version available.

The plugin doesn't use the image inside content, but the image provided in the head meta tags... there is no https version in there.
September 14, 20204 yr Good morning, @A Zayed We recently purchased and installed version 1.4.8 of External Links Rich Embed in preparation for our upgrade to IPB 4.5. We completed the upgrade to IPB 4.5 and attempted to upgrade the plugin to version 1.4.10 from within the AdminCP using the instructions indicated on the plugin's site on the Marketplace. However, when we attempted the install, we received the following message: "The plugin you are trying to install appears to be installed already" Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Wade EDIT: WHOOPS! I decided to uninstall 1.4.8 and then reinstall from the Marketplace and it worked just fine! Please disregard everything that I posted above! 🙂 Edited September 15, 20204 yr by SFLUFAN

Happens on every theme as well.

February 4, 20213 yr 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. Edited February 5, 20213 yr by xdrox

February 5, 20213 yr 1 hour ago, A Zayed said: 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.
February 6, 20213 yr Can't recuperate the favicon from those big mainstream sites : http://www.instagram.com http://www.journaldemontreal.com Have any idea? Thank you.
March 10, 20213 yr My IPS install says 1.4.11, and "up to date" even though 1.4.12 is published/available. And under IPS 4.5, you can't really force it to update, or download the files to manually update.
