Showing Link Preview in Activity Stream?

  • @drover

    Participant

    Is there anyway to show a preview of the website when a link is posted to the activity stream? Similar to what Facebook does with a thumbnail and brief text?

    Thanks.

    I actually downloaded that plugin and installed it, but it looked like it was intended to create some kind of links page? Did I misunderstand what it does?

    I tried it and it seems glitchy. The links don’t show on the activity stream. They only show under “links”. And when I click “more” at the end of the preview, it takes me to some unformatted page.

    Also, the preview thumbnail is just some generic avatar.

    @drover if BP Links doesn’t work for you, then there’s no alternate plugin which does what you need at this time. You’d either have to create it yourself, wait for a developer to do so or hire a developer.

    There is a plugin that can create the previews for links.

    This is a really useful plugin, and gives similar abilities to facebook.
