I'd like to have a mod that works like putting in a URL into facebook or google+ that it pulls in the URL Title and part of the page and puts it at the bottom of the OP maybe in a quote tag.

I think it would help start discussions since some people will just put in a link and say discuss.

Is it possible to do some mod like that? Depending on the development costs, I would be willing to make it a paid mod. Options would be just the OP or all posts would generate the quoted description and URL grab.
 
I'm working on an mybb add-on for this.
Let's see if i can finish it & if i have time to port it to xf
 
me too^^

but that's really complex if you want to have it like on facebook
the easiest part is to grab the title, but the relevant infos are very tricky :(
 
@ragtek,

Do you mean its easy to just grab the title, as in if the link is posted http://www.google.com it turns into Google automatically?
yes it is

what i need to do for an customer, is to have a window after the user clicks "post reply" which shows the url and whcih grabs the images + title +description of the site^^
Eaxctly as on facebook :(
