Post Cards

First topic message reminder :

What are post cards ? Post cards display a brief summary about a linked post, so you can get an idea of who wrote the message and what they said without actually quoting the post. The cards are created by posting the direct link to a message, so no bbcode is required.

How does it work ?
It's incredibility easy ! Just copy the direct link to a post -- like the one below -- and paste it into your message. After you post or preview your message the link will automatically be converted into a post card ! No bbcode, no problem !

Direct post link :

Code:

http://demoactif.forumactif.com/t15-demo-post-cards?demo=post_cards#19

Result when posted :
http://demoactif.forumactif.com/t15-demo-post-cards?demo=post_cards#19

You can post the direct link to any post in your forum OR posts from other Forumotion forums, and the links will automatically be converted into post cards. Posts that are not visible however, will display a placeholder card.

Installation

To install this plugin go to Admin Panel > Modules > JavaScript codes management and create a new script with the following settings.

Title : Post Cards
Placement : In all the pages

Code:

Save the script and the Post Cards plugin will be installed ! Try posting some direct post links and they will be converted into post cards.

If you want to make any modifications to the script please see the next section.

Modifications

Below are all the modifications you can make to this plugin.

1. Summary Length
Near the top of the script after the error handling is a property named

Code: summary_length

this property controls the max number of characters allowed in the summaries. By default it is set to 160 characters. Change this value if you want to make the summaries longer or shorter.

Code:

summary_length : 160, // maximum character length for messages in post cards

2. Cache Time
As most cards are retrieved by sending a request to the server, the data needs to be cached to reduce the frequency of these requests. Under the summary_length property you'll see another property named

Code: cache_time

. By default, the post cards are cached for 1 hour. Change this value if you want the cache time to be longer or shorter.

Code:

cache_time : 1*60*60*1000, // amount of time that cards are cached ( 1 hour )

3. Language
Under the cache time property is a language object -- named

Code: lang

-- for translations or textual changes. Feel free to change the texts in this object to whatever you want.

Code:

    lang : {
      error : {
          name : 'Error',
          title : 'POST NOT FOUND',
        summary : 'The post you tried to view could not be found or is not accesible to you.'
      },

        no_name : 'Anonymous',
      no_avatar : 'http://2img.net/i/fa/invision/pp-blank-thumb-38px.png',
        no_title : 'No Title Available',
      no_summary : 'No Summary Available',
      no_origin : 'No Origin Available',
        tooltip : 'Click to view the full post'
    },

4. The Theme
Lastly is the post card theme. If you want to make edits to the theme find the stylesheet at the bottom of the script :

Code:

document.write('<style type="text/css">a.fa_post_card{font-size:12px;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none!important;color:#333!important;background:#FFF;border:1px solid #CCC;border-radius:10px;display:block;width:600px;max-width:100%;min-height:100px;overflow:hidden;position:relative;margin:3px 0}.fa_card_inner{margin-left:125px}.fa_card_left{text-align:center;background:#EEE;border-right:1px solid #CCC;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;width:125px}.fa_card_avatar{height:50px;width:50px;position:absolute;top:50%;left:50%;margin:-35px 0 0 -25px}.fa_card_username{font-size:12px;font-weight:700;position:absolute;top:50%;left:0;right:0;margin-top:20px}.fa_card_title h2{color:#333;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;border:none;margin:0}.fa_card_summary p{font-size:12px;margin:0}.fa_card_origin{color:#999}.fa_card_origin,.fa_card_summary p,.fa_card_title h2{padding:3px 10px}.fa_card_origin,.fa_card_title h2,.fa_card_username{white-space:nowrap;overflow:hidden;text-overflow:ellipsis;width:100%;-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;-moz-box-sizing:border-box;box-sizing:border-box}.fa_card_clear{clear:both}</style>');

You can change the colors, fonts, etc.. here. However, if you have a dark forum and need a dark theme for the post cards, replace the stylesheet above with the one below : (preview)

Code:

document.write('<style type="text/css">a.fa_post_card{font-size:12px;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none!important;color:#CCC!important;background:#111;border:1px solid #333;border-radius:10px;display:block;width:600px;max-width:100%;min-height:100px;overflow:hidden;position:relative;margin:3px 0}.fa_card_inner{margin-left:125px}.fa_card_left{text-align:center;background:#222;border-right:1px solid #333;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;width:125px}.fa_card_avatar{height:50px;width:50px;position:absolute;top:50%;left:50%;margin:-35px 0 0 -25px}.fa_card_username{font-size:12px;font-weight:700;position:absolute;top:50%;left:0;right:0;margin-top:20px}.fa_card_title h2{color:#CCC;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;border:none;margin:0}.fa_card_summary p{font-size:12px;margin:0}.fa_card_origin{color:#666}.fa_card_origin,.fa_card_summary p,.fa_card_title h2{padding:3px 10px}.fa_card_origin,.fa_card_title h2,.fa_card_username{white-space:nowrap;overflow:hidden;text-overflow:ellipsis;width:100%;-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;-moz-box-sizing:border-box;box-sizing:border-box}.fa_card_clear{clear:both}</style>');

These are all the modifications that can be made. If you have any questions, comments, or find a bug feel free to leave a reply below. Enjoy !

Notice

Tutorial written by Ange Tuteur. Special thanks to the Beta Testers for testing this plugin. Reproduction not permitted without consent from the author.

@Michael_vx sorry for the late reply, I made a test with the template you gave me and it seemed to work okay :


If possible, could you provide me a topic on the forum that has links to other posts in it?

sure
here
http://miclap.logu2.com/t9-topic
and no need to aplogize
i know your busy coding or life things

@Michael_vx thanks !

Sorry to be nitpicky, but the links for topics need to be a direct link to the post, like this :

Code:

http://miclap.logu2.com/t9-topic#33
http://miclap.logu2.com/t9-topic#34
http://miclap.logu2.com/t9-topic#35
http://miclap.logu2.com/t9-topic#36

So that they can be parsed like this :
http://miclap.logu2.com/t9-topic#33
http://miclap.logu2.com/t9-topic#34
http://miclap.logu2.com/t9-topic#35
http://miclap.logu2.com/t9-topic#36

seems to be working with that way
but is it possible to work with links out of the forum
for Example something that replace the link with a title of the site
like
https://fmdesign.forumotion.com
will be replaced to
FM Design
with any link same as the post cards way
im not sure if this idea is hard to make or not but i think this can be a nice Script that can beat the VB boards

@Michael_vx so basically when you post a link to a certain page it'll display the title as the link, correct ? For example :

https://fmdesign.forumotion.com/t515p75-post-cards ---> Post Cards - Page 4

yeah this can be good also

if possible too

Yeah it's possible, I'd just need to reprogram the script or create a new one that's similar. Just gotta make sure the href is equal to the text content so we don't overwrite named links.

sure
take the time you need
i might get off now so i hope you Enjoy and give me the good news
i think you already know that im doing this for others who use forumotion forums not me cus im not using forumotion

If the title of the topic is changed after you have posted a post card, does this cause an error?

I posted post cards in this topic:  https://fmdesign.forumotion.com/t96p50-fm-themes#20434
Then I edited the titles today.

@SLGray no it shouldn't, I think it might be because the script isn't optimized for Forumactif Edge. Try replacing your script with this :

Code:

$(function() {
  'DEVELOPED BY ANGE TUTEUR';
  'NO DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT CONSENT OF THE AUTHOR';

  // error notifications
  if (version == 'badapple' || !window.JSON || !window.localStorage) {
    var errString = 'The plugin "fa_post_card" could not be executed because : ';

    if (version == 'badapple') errString += '\nYour forum version is not supported.';
    if (!window.JSON) errString += '\nJSON is not supported by your browser';
    if (!window.localStorage) errString += '\nThe Storage API is not supported by your browser.';

    window.console && console.error ? console.error(errString) : alert(errString);
    return;
  }

  window.fa_post_card = {
    summary_length : 160, // maximum character length for messages in post cards
        cache_time : 1*60*60*1000, // amount of time that cards are cached ( 1 hour )

Might need to clear your cache after. I'll add the updated script to the first post.

Thanks @Ange Tuteur .

im not sure if i have the rights to ask
but how is the progress about the question
https://fmdesign.forumotion.com/t515p75-post-cards#18381

@Michael_vx sorry I almost forgot.

You can do something like this :

Code:

function iterate_links(array, fn) {
  var next = function() {
    that = array[++i];

    if (that) {
      fn(that, next);
    }
  },

  i = -1,
  that;

  next();
};


// iterate all the postbody links
iterate_links($('.postbody a'), function(that, next) {
  if (that.href == that.innerHTML) {
    $.get(that.href, function(d) {
      that.innerHTML = d.match(/<title>(.*?)<\/title/i)[1];
      next();
    });

  } else {
    next();
  }
});

But it'll be a little heavy.

It'll change links like this :

Code:

http://fmdesign.forumotion.com/t515p75-post-cards
http://fmdesign.forumotion.com/t515-post-cards

into what their page title is :

Code:

Post Cards - Page 4
Post Cards

ok
ill see if i can do it
thanks
beside we are humans i dont think we will be humans if we never forget things only robots dose not forget things

This would've been amazing also if it was actually a quote custom.

Please, i want ask, is it posibble if i could have a code of Post Card that will work beyond forumotion forums. That code that will convert url of any other website that is not forumotion into a post card?

I think your request is impossible to create. To get that automated the script would have to know each and every site's selector etc. Like, how would the script able to differentiate between titles, texts and ads for instance?. However, one could create a template that uses the same kind of style. I imagine a script that allows the user to insert a title, the first 160 characters of the article and the URL to the article (opens when clicked in a new tab) and the hover-over code saying 'Click to view more ...' or something like that to make it look more or less the same. I believe it's even possible to add that kind of template / form to one's sceditor ...

It's possible -- take the twitter website cards for example, which this plugin was inspired by -- perhaps I may think about making something for it in the future.

Alright, That @Ange Tuteur I am looking forward to having something like that

We're definitely gonna need the external links option for the postcards now, to link back to official articles created by the council and published articles on other sites that concern the community and give members the opportunity to react and leave a reply to them. I'm sure. If you could work something out for us, please do, @Ange Tuteur. It would be of great help to us. TY!

Bump again ...

I also experienced this on my forum. I thought it was just a "me" thing, but apparently it isn't. O-o
Thanks for reporting!

Your posts should be readable by guests. If they are readable by members/groups only, they will display an error there in the post card. The Post Card is not able to "log in" to your forum, so it will display an error instead. However, because you have an account and are logged in, you will see the topic when you click on the link.

For your specific post card there, I clicked it, and it redirected me to the following URL:

Code: https://www.achatworld.com/login?redirect=%2Ft1178-topic#6559

I'm sure Ange may confirm this, since he created the code, but that's how I analyzed the code, to which I'm sure it has to do with an init error. Because the post card would require some level of authentication to work "cross-site" or "cross-forum" - the error will likely not be resolvable.
