A test of the BB code unfurl option (1 Viewer)

[Wild Brambles]

It looks as if Motothome Fun supports the unfurl option in BB code. I haven't used this in the past, so this thread is an experiment, and an investigation into the way it crawl page meta data to build the link. I'm using my nascent Offgrid Camper blog for the test, as it is based on the latest version of B2evolution.

Great, that seems to work. It looks as if I need to pay more attention to the meta data, and maybe even try to include a thumbnail. The unfurl is included automatically.

I think I can understand rees_mogg better than this and that's saying something!!!

Untill he actually reappears under his own name I would swear this is 596 in disguise

 

[Jim]

We only unfurl the title, the url and og description, don't really need any more than that.

What's wrong with old fashioned HTML

Now that’s a point.
He seems to have disappeared as quickly as he originally appeared.
Or is he on an extended trip to that well known city in the midlands, curtesy of Jim ?

Think so although he must be due back soon.

People never give a thought to how posts like this come across to those concerned. Clearly the OP would not know to whom you refer. So your comment comes across like you are talking behind his back in a cliquey way.

For your information Brambles, 596 was a poster who is presently banned, He enjoyed fishing here, mostly on wind-up threads.

Whenever he went fishing he caught and landed chaser who swallowed a treble hook and the lead each time.

The OP is talking in a technical cliquey sort of way - because I did not understand a word of it.

So now that you have explained something to him about 596 maybe the OP would like to explain what his post was about.

It should work both ways.

While others stood back and let him talk a load of twaddle

When is he back anyway? ?

No probs - I thought this board was for people who created web sites, and were interested in page linkage and promotion. I've never used a numeric sobriquet, and I would be suspicious of a person's opinion of self-worth if they did.

Who is this 596 anyway. It sounds like some new EU system of time measurement to get more minutes into an hour. Anyway, here is a pic of my old Scudo, to test a picture listing.

Yeah sorry mate didn't mean no offence, just seemed like him, talking about something we don't understand, my bad I suppose as the trendy say.

Rather than a regular url that would look something like this

htt ps://apps.apple.com/us/app/motorhomefun-magazine/id1459736606?ls=1

The Forum unfurls the link to give you a better idea about where the link is going or what it has to say, like this

‎MotorhomeFun Magazine

‎MotorhomeFun Magazine is a monthly magazine written by motorhomers for motorhomers. It delivers top-quality unbiased and honest advice for motorhome owners everywhere. You’ll follow others on their motorhome adventures and get judicious and detailed reviews of motorhomes, campsites and...

what most of us seem! to have missed... myself included as i did not look... that this thread is listed correctly under "website help" part of the forum...

had i bothered to read the OP's heading properly i may have understood.... there again probably not!

 

[JJ]

I was about to unfurl a couple of URL's with a BB code when I realised I can no longer unfurl the third and fourth fingers of my left hand as it is currently crippled with Arthur Right-is.

This now means the Faro and Charlier manoeuvres are no longer available to me as they involve full use of the left hand while folk are watching the right one...

Seconds, centres and bottoms are also out of the question.

Thank goodness I have retired from all that nonsense...

Unfurling impossible at the moment...

Yeah that's right, I never look what section posts are in, just read them all as " what's new" then go by the title.

thats me also...

I thought there was a section about website creation, but I realise that I've misread the index. I think this board is about the MH website, so I guess that at a pinch, it could be posted in the correct place. The other board is about connecting to the internet, so it isn't really suitable.

Anyway, I hope the thread is useful for any Internet content providers amongst you. Now who wants to talk about Bitcoin and merkle trees.

WB I seriously have no idea what you are talking about it, it all went into gobbledygook halfway through the first paragraph of the opening post. All I know is take the plug out and blow on it is the first fix for anything electrical.
but in case its relevant I would like to offer you this.

If one is going to adopt a life as a digital nomad, then one has to learn about content production and promotion. You can take photos and put them on Shutterstock, or make videos for YouTube, but if nobody looks at them, then they won't sell, and you won't make any money. Content production is a great way to build a passive income.

So what is it picking up? This is the link to my website (woefully out of date!) but it isn't showing anything useful. It's a WordPress site.
