010101 Ok so, honestly this whole time I thought this was about pasting a link in a post
Sorry for the confusion, I will improve the extension information.
010101 Sounds like instead this is what other sites see when you share a Flarum link.
Correct.
010101 so blomstra meta:
- will generate an image for each discussion/user with the latest information; sharing the link to such a discussion will then show not just one shared, forum-wide image but one that is specific to the discussion.
- allows customization of the generated image using a simple html template (laravel blade file).
- will generate open graph and schema.org for each discussion/user.
- will use the queue as much as possible (recommended even).
- allows other extensions to add their own entities or replace the existing discussion and user ones.
- will allow customization of meta information per discussion.
There are more plans, but we'll gladly listen to the ideas and requirements offered by the community.
010101 I guess it’s a much, much nicer preview compared to whatever these other extensions do? In fact the more I think about it, no other CMS systems or Forums do it this way, that I know of… An image of the post itself essentially… So don’t get me wrong, this is pretty cool. Maybe even groundbreaking! But, I’ve just been a little confused about what this is for.
It's for SEO, similar to what the v17 extension does but build to scale, extensible and eventually more feature complete.
