Suggestions on Links Preview Mod

[atanua]

Hello, I would like to buy this mod and therefore did some testing on it. Now I have two suggestions:

1st there seems to be an issue with country domains. When I post a link from amazon.com it works just fine, but once I paste in one with a German .de domain it is not parsed.

More important what I did not like is how it handles links to posts within the very forum. IP Board handles this in a nice way, giving a preview of the post inlcudingf its attachment(s). See attached sample screenshot.

Your mod will unfortunately only give the subject and posters name. I think it would be great to also post the content of the post like IP Board does.

Do you think this could be done?

Thank you

Hi,

Amazon seems to have measures in place to reject bots and I've been trying to work around it. The German site seems to be more strict about it. Fortunately, I think I have a way around that now.

Thanks for sharing this neat idea.

So it looks like a link to another thread on that same forum with the attached image embedded into the post.

Can definitely be done.

Once the mod has a neater forum post embeding for internal links, I am an immediate buyer!

 I'll post an update in thread once I get that done.

Great. Once it is done I will sure buy this mod!

Do you have an estimate when they changes could be included?

Any updates as I am ready to buy the mod. Thank you

Attached is an image showing how smf-packs SEO influenced this. The image thumbnail should probably be the first attachment of the topic.

Two screenshots that show this new integration in action are attached below.

• The image is the first attachment in the topic post
• The description is broken down into either individual sentences if such structures are found, or individual words. Then it is reconstructed piecemeal until the limit of 120 characters.
