Link & images not rendering correctly

In share a story for profile/groups & events, if we type a long url e.g : http://www.stackoverflow.com in the update status box.

the auto link insertion cuts off the characters while typing e.g it will show
http://www.stackove
say something about this link

If we cut and paste the url, then it fetches the complete meta and og image.

I think this is an issue of timing, you can check it on your demo site as well.

Can you please provide a fix.

Hi Arlex,

Yes if you copy & paste it would work, but if you try typing slowly it would not work.

It will again work if you type very fast like superman, but if you are a little slow it will cut the characters.

Please note that the add link textbox works okay, but if you type the url in the status update default text area then this issue occurs.

please check the screenshot.

regards

Hello Sunny,

There's actually a 750 miliseconds waiting time to detect for a URL but perhaps the regex isn't entirely accurate since it should also detect for the top level domains but this is a pretty tricky process. Will see what we can do about this

Hi Mark,

Maybe we can increase the waiting time?

I just checked in jomsocial, there they render the link contents once the last letter of domain is entered.

Maybe easysocial can also follow the same rule.

You can't really determine the last letter but the debounce is currently at 750 miliseconds and it's actually pretty accurate just that the regex pattern needs some updating to ensure that it only really checks for valid domain.

Hi Mark,

Got your point, look forward for the remedy.

Also for stream notifications, which are not accurate in many cases.

regards
