010101 Auto URL Preview Cards Extension. This is the one thing I love about Facebook/Twitter. A plain link is so... plain. No need to wrap links in anything. If you paste a URL, it transforms into a beautiful content card. The extension would see if the site has ograph meta tags first, if not, it would do some scraping. Image would be saved in an images folder so you aren't hotlinking.

I added it, thank you for the idea ?

arda [ ] Topic Summarization: The name explains very easily, the ability to summarize topics by importance.

I don't know what you mean by this. Summarization, not summary? By importance? How can you tell how important a topic is? I might just be missing something.

ShawnPConroy OK, so let me explain.

Think of a long topic with more than 50 posts, or maybe more doesn't matter.

We will have a button that will summarize the whole topic with only the important replies. That will make the reader understand what's the subject by only those replies.

And who defines, which replies are important?

Pollux And who defines, which replies are important?

The core itself. It would be stupid to make a person choose which replies are the important ones.

By this we have several options:
1. Make Flarum hide the responses to main posts,
2. Automatically detect which answer is short and unnecessary and hide it,
3. Even if it's short, make Flarum detect which are important and only show them.

Basically, if we stick with the 3rd option, we would need machine learning inside the core.

1st option is the easiest one and might be used by users.

Prosperous Furthermore, would that not detract from the whole purpose of what a forum is; a discussion board?

You're right, but remember that this is an extension idea and will be offered to users with a button under the Reply button we have next to the discussion area.

This might be useful for users want to quickly read and understand the whole situation people are talking on a specific topic.

This extension idea reminds me of a support orientated or review forum where people vote which post answers their question best. I can see where this can be beneficial to specific forums though.

Just remember to keep it on topic, folks.

jordanjay29 If it's an extension, the extension would likely need to handle the logic for this itself. Changes can be made to Flarum's core to accommodate extensibility, but functions for specific extensions are generally left to those extensions to implement.

Oops, sorry. I meant the extension itself ?

I know, every extension needs to handle their work.

jordanjay29 Just remember to keep it on topic, folks.

Found an idea for this issue:

[ ] Off-topic reply detector: An extension that will automatically detect replies that are off-topic to the current topic by keywords.
