Show content from external link

    Is there a recommended method to show content from an external link which has been copied and pasted into the activity stream? To pull maybe the image from the article and some excerpt text, as opposed to just a hyperlink?

    Not avaible yet. Will be in WP 4.2 new “press-it”.

    Keep in mind that SWA is not an external activity wall or feed, but a site (your site) members activity wall. Searching to publish anything on it is a bit vain.

    Some medias can simply be embeded to SWA by copy/pasting, such as tweets, youtube videos or photobucket pictures.
    Allowed medias are described here.

    @danbp Sounds good. Will this work in member activity streams as well? I’m undecided on whether to use SWA yet since my site is a primary feature + social network elements, as opposed to purely social network/community. I’m using BP to increase member interaction and enhance that primary feature (sports prediction). Second guessing what users are likely to do, copying and pasting external URLs is quite likely. Thanks.

    Probably not, but haven’t tested yet. Historically, Press-it is a bloging tool…

    Check eventually BuddyPress Links plugin.

    @danbp Thanks, I’ll take a look at that.
