I'm unsure of how oneboxing is setup for blog posts to Discourse

Hi all, what Discourse functionality is being used to relay these blog posts into Discourse? Segunda versión de mantenimiento para Hub 3, ¡última actualización para el 23! - News - Nextcloud community

Seems it is a part of the core application, but I haven’t been able to find it yet (searching) under our settings. Thank you for any pointers!

Do you mean the message that says “Originally posted on…”?

Embed Discourse comments on another website via Javascript

Discourse has the ability to embed the comments from a topic in a remote site using a Javascript API that creates an IFRAME. For an example of this in action, check out Coding Horror’s blog. The blog is run via Ghost but the comments are embedded from his Discourse forum. One important thing to note with this setup is that users have to navigate to your forum to post replies.

That part is for embedding on the site: two sides of a coin integration.

I know, but I set up the embed once and it did the job too

@eviltrout

You have the choice to have Discourse create the topics automatically when a new embedding is found

Yes, that’s very true! I always forget it embeds like that.

@sunjam you have a couple of options there. I prefer the RSS polling, I find it less finicky over time; the markup for a post on a CMS may change with a theme, but the RSS feed rarely changes it’s format.

Interesting, we do not have that plugin installed. I figured out that the blog is actually phplist. Still unsure of how it is being relayed into Discourse (I lack admin access to confirm).

For our own blog at blog.discourse.org we use the built-in embed feature that @Alexander linked above, and it works perfectly for the blog use case.

The difference between the two, in a simplified way, is that the embed feature is recommended when you own the blog, and the RSS Polling is to import third-party content.
