[nodebb-plugin-link-preview] Rich Embeds and Link Previews
-
darkpollo you're right, the plugin isn't bundled with new installs
-
julian works fine, thanks
would be nice to have links opened in new tab or configurable at least -
thanks for commenting benyto . The plugin follows NodeBB's behaviour in not modifying anchor target. The end user can ctrl-click the link to open in a new tab, shift-click to open in new window, etc.
-
I installed the plugin via dashboard plugins.
NodeBB v3.10.3
I did a rebuild, the plugin appears, but saving settings does not work.
In addition, I have this error in the console: “admin.min.js?v=o50k63atqko:1 error loading admin/plugins/link-preview
Error: Cannot find module './plugins/link-preview'”What did I do wrong?
-
What kind of hosting? Some container based and one click installs do not support updating plugins from dashboard. Please try to do the same thing from command line.
-
I have VPS, and other plugins works fine, I have only problem with this. Save button dosen't work in plugin settigns.
/admin/plugins/link-previewWhen I click "Save changes"/"Zapisz zmiany" - nothing happen, and after refresh page changes on checkboxes are gone.
-
Paweł hello again, when you run
./nodebb build, do you see any errors? -

Paweł check your plugins, looks like one of them is included a non-js file in the scripts block of its plugin.json
-
baris How should I find it in the admin panel or in the source code on the server?
Edit:
Ok I found the problem!grep -r ";cc0 1.0 universal"- there was problem with depreacted pluginnodebb-plugin-html5videoplayer- I removed this and know everythong works fine!Thanks a lot for your quick help! This is my first time using NodeBB.
-
Paweł no problem, yeah you can grep for stuff in the node_modules directory to find the culprit. Or you can disable plugins one by one.
./nodebb pluginscommand shows active plugins. -
If I try to update I get this...
But my nodebb is running the latest.
Any tips?
-
Ok, so after a clean manual install we can't get this plugin to work...
Now it is telling us that the previous v1.... is the latest?
-
sketchucation you should be able to install the latest version from the command line
-
julian we did that
we are running latest NodeBB version and latest Preview plugin
It does not display previews for us unfortunately.
If we disabled the plugin it will not leave the active list and it then displays as latest
Is there paid support available?
-
sketchucation support is available with our hosting plans. Community installs would be supported through this forum
Perhaps there is an issue with the package manager. I will have to look into it.
-
sketchucation if you've installed v2.0.13, then that is the latest version. Make sure that you run
./nodebb buildafter activating it.Are you able to access the settings page for that plugin?
Lastly, what do you mean when you say you have installed the latest version of NodeBB? Please let me know the version number.v3.12.1 -
sketchucation okay, so nbbpm reports this:
> The plugin author suggests that you install v1.3.3 for your copy of NodeBB v3.12.1
This is correct. For your version of NodeBB, you are supposed to install v1.3.3. The 2.x branch of link-preview is meant for NodeBB v4.

We then uninstalled and did a clean v2 install and we ended up with other issues
So we could have something fundamentally amiss in our nodeBB install. I don't know?
But with Preview completely off it works fine. But rich embeds would be a priority for us to get sorted.
-
sketchucation you should install v1.3.3 of the plugin. We can debug further as to why the plugin is not working after that version is installed.
