XF 2.2 BB code thread link in message

[ArtG]

Hi,

I'm trying to understand what BB code this site uses that links a thread like the picture below. I'm trying to do the same in my forum to a thread on my site. Any suggestions? Thanks!

That's the standard unfurling function.

Search for it in the ACP.

As always, thank you sir. You're the man.

Hmm, didn't work. See below, it presents as a link. Didn't automatically unfurl. I have the option checked in the ACP.

Anything else I need to do?

 

[Paul B]

Do URLs from other sites unfurl?
This thread for example.

You can test it in the ACP at admin.php?tools/test-url-unfurling .

This is the result of the test:



Separate question, when I test the URL from my site, the icon doesn't point to my favicon and it shows an error. However, the logo seems correct.

If it works for this thread then the function is working on your site.

If it doesn't work for specific sites then that is due to issues such as the payload being too large (this is common with Amazon), requests/server being blocked, content not visible to guests, etc.

Testing the URLs in question in the ACP should provide some data on why they don't work.

This is the test on my site's thread. Looks the same as the test I did but it didn't translate when I sent it via the site's message function. I used as the bbcode. As you can see, th...howed on the first post above. Any thoughts?

 

[Paul B]

It must be something to do with your custom style - it's clearly working as the test shows.

Thanks. I'll take it up with them.
