How do I add a featured link to a topic title?

[JammyDodger]

Hello and welcome @Dan_Carfas

Just as a smidge of extra info, that’s known as the ‘featured link’ and can be toggled on/off sitewide via the topic featured link enabled admin setting.

It is also possible to set it after the fact with a little edit dance, which can be useful for those without server access or who aren’t comfortable using the rails console:

As mentioned here How to add link to topic title? you can’t add a link after the topic was created, but I have a workaround that may work for you:

Edit the whole topic, not only the tile, by clicking the button at the bottom of the topic:

Then you have to remove the content of the topic (copy and paste it somewhere safe), replace the title with the link. You will see how the link is loaded in the title, and the onebox appears in the topic composer. After that, you can paste the topic content again.

It’s basically “creating” the topic again, since links in titles can only be added during creation.
