Get preview from a link
By Miky Tara
Hello, is there a way to have a preview (kind of pictures) from a web link?
I mean, I have a detail page of a link (with title, description, tags and preview) but how could I show the site preview from the link?? Thank you so much.

You must log in to post replies.I think I've found a way: from this site http://immediatenet.com/thumbnail_api.html you have to put <img src="http://immediatenet.com/t/m?Size=1024x768&URL=http://immediatenet.com/"/> changing the URL.
Now, if I have $vars['url'] = $link->url; how could I put the url in it??
I tried:
<div>
<label>Preview</label><br/><br />
</br>
<img src="http://immediatenet.com/t/l?Size=1024x768&URL=<?php $vars['url'] ?>"/>
</div>
But it doenst work. Thank you.
There's no plugin for that. You'll have to write your own. You will need to get familiar with the Goo.gl API and link filtering.
It is a hard task.
