AI-generated summary

A user, Ratul_Bhattacharya, asks how to display meta information—like a preview with a title and image—when sharing a link on platforms such as WhatsApp. codinghorror initially doesn’t understand the request, but Ratul_Bhattacharya clarifies with screenshots showing the desired preview. codinghorror suggests looking into OpenGraph and oEmbed standards. fefrei adds that Discourse should provide this data automatically and asks if the site is publicly accessible. Ratul_Bhattacharya confirms the issue was resolved after clearing cache and browsing history, thanking fefrei for the follow-up.

Not sure how to achieve this feature any guidance will be of great help. Essentially how does the meta information about the post appears on the top and the link follows below.

Sorry I do not understand what you wrote? What are you trying to do?

Apologies @codinghorror. The snapshot is from my cell phone where I shared a link on whatsapp to a friend. What I am looking for is how does the part in pink border below appear. Is there a setting for that? Its like a mini preview of the content. Sorry I am unable to find the right description of my ask perhaps.

Look up opengraph and oembed.

ok thanks. let me check

Discourse should provide the necessary data automatically. If it doesn’t work with your site: Is it publicly readable, or do you require login?

hey @fefrei : it was not doing initially. After I cleared up the cache and browsing history, its done now. thanks for following up.
