XF 2.1 url unfurl question

[Bombardier]

Hello

when my users post a url into a media or forum comment it does not unfurl but rather produces a link, unless I remove the link no unfurling happens.
How can I change things so that no link is created and the unfurling occurs.

Thank you

Check that in ACP > Options > Messages that "Unfurl URL to a rich preview automatically" is checked.

Make sure that your users put URLs on a separate line - URLs that are on the same line as other text won't unfurl.

Do note that there are some URLs that won't unfurl for various reasons. You can test any URLs to see if they will unfurl or not in ACP > Tools > Test URL unfurling.

URLs that are on the same line as other text won't unfurl.

Thanks for this. I just learned something new.

Thank you yes that is checked but the link is still created rather than the url being unfurled. The only way I can force the unfurling is to remove the link as shown in the pic

Have you tested with all add-ons disabled and in a completely unedited default style?

 

[Bombardier]

Yes tested with all addons disabled apart from resources and media and still no joy

How are you and your users adding the link to the editor? Are you simply pasting the link into the editor, or are you using the Insert link button? If the former then it should work. If you are using the Insert link button, then it will create a link as you have described.

just pasting the link in?

In that case, it may be related to this issue:

yes, fix done

XF 2.1 - Unfurl URL - The URL is not requestable (local: 127.0.0.1)

When using the "Test URL Unfurling" tool I get: "Could not fetch metadata from URL with error: The URL is not requestable (local: 127.0.0.1)" This only occurs with my own URLs, it works fine on external URLS. External sites, such as this one, can unfurl my URLs. But I cannot unfurl my own...
