Crawls and compiles the meta data of an HTML page, using normal meta tags, og:tags and twitter:tags. If no image data was used, the website's largest touch-icon is used. Scraped data is cached for 24hrs so this plugin is fast enough to use inline / synchronously.
{exp:dynamic_link url="..."}
{if crawled}
{link_title}
{link_description}
{link_url}
{link_image}
{if:else}
...
{/if}
{/exp:dynamic_link}
Or for urlencoded URL's
{exp:dynamic_link url="..." encoded="base64"}
{if crawled}
{link_title}
{link_description}
{link_url}
{link_image}
{/if}
{/exp:dynamic_link}
Set the caching time-to-live in sec. with "cache_ttl". Bypass (and clear) the caching using -1. No parameters means 24hr default.
{exp:dynamic_link url="..." cache_ttl="600"}
Use this to encode an link (needed when the URL is part of your own URL segments)
{exp:dynamic_link:encode url="..."}
A non existing url or absent meta-data will result in returning the tag names as values.
Can be used for instance to asynchronously server-side, show a card of an URL as follows:
-
create an iframe on the containing page:
<iframe src="{path='templates/card/{exp:dynamic_link:encode url='...'}}"></iframe> -
and an embedded page, e.g. templares/card
<!doctype html>
<html lang="nl">
<head>
</head>
<body>
{exp:dynamic_link encoded="base64" url="{segment_3}"}
<h1>{link_title}</h1>
<p>{link_description}</p>
<img src="{link_image}" style="max-width: 100%"/>
{/exp:dynamic_link}
</body>
</html>- cache the embedded template for higher performance, e.g. 60 minutes
1.0 Seems to works
1.1 Renamed the variables because they conflicted with EE names, added 24hr caching
1.2 Alternative youtube strategy
I don't care
