A tool for scraping, caching and embedding remote resources.
- Scrapes URLs and turns them in responsive preview cards
- Aggressive caching of scraped resources for enhanced performance
- Linkifies #hashtags, @usernames, links and emails
To display a URL card with an image preview, title and brief description, use output/card view:
echo elgg_view('output/card', array(
'href' => 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dlf1_vuIR4I',
));To dipslay a rich media player use output/player view:
echo elgg_view('output/player', array(
'href' => 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dlf1_vuIR4I',
));To linkify all URLs, usernames, emails and hashtags that are not wrapped in html tags, use output/linkify view.
Pass your text in a value parameter. You can use parse_ flags to skip certain qualifiers.
$text = '@someone needs to #linkify this article http://example.com and email it to [email protected]';
if (elgg_view_exists('output/linkify')) {
$text = elgg_view('output/linkify', array(
'value' => $text,
//'parse_urls' => false,
//'parse_hashtags' => false,
//'parse_usernames' => false,
//'parse_emails' => false,
));
}To generate a preview for multiple URLs extracted from text, use output/url_preview view.
Pass your text as a value parameter. The view will parse all URLs and generate previews.
$text = 'This video is really cool https://vimeo.com/channels/staffpicks/116498390';
if (elgg_view_exists('output/url_preview')) {
$text = elgg_view('output/url_preview', array(
'value' => $text,
));
}
