After Maja did add a more advance OneBox for Amazon links I would like to know if it is possible to “hack” the OneBox to strip more chars so the Onebox gets bigger.
Eg I see the max chars for description is 200 chars. Where can I change that? Then I could have a larger OneBox - or is it not possible to set how large you want your onebox?
It’s not possible to change the length of the onebox description unfortunately (the only adjustable is internal post onebox).
Amazon onebox uses whatever is displayed as a description excerpt on mobile
DEFAULTS = {
EXPAND_ONE_LINER: EXPAND_AFTER | EXPAND_BEFORE, #set how to expand a one liner. user EXPAND_NONE to disable expand
LINES_BEFORE: 10,
LINES_AFTER: 10,
SHOW_LINE_NUMBER: true,
MAX_LINES: 20,
MAX_CHARS: 5000
}
If you want Discourse app to use your cloned onebox, you can replace gem 'onebox', '1.8.42' with gem 'onebox', path: 'path-to-your-cloned-onebox' (run bundle after changing Gemfile)
I even tried this: But Im not able to get more then 250 chars - any one who can push my in the right direction?

Can you guys help me write more specific code on how to increase the number of words described in Onebox?
I have tried several ways, but still cannot increase the number from this description.
I want to increase the number of descriptive words to 500 words for 1 onebox
