Ever since upgrading to Joomla 3.3 the article preview and thumbnails no longer are shown when entering an article link into the status update form. I've recorded a small video demonstrating the problem.

therebel.website/public_html/images/videos/nomorepreview.mp4

Hi Andrew,

the URL at that video not too clear for me. the first one is:
they.com right?
that website not shareable, because when I visit the site they protected by htaccess login.
at your browser not have that, because already "remembered" by your browser it self.

and what 2nd URL that you shared?

Regards,
Albert

I don't remember that the article in my demo video was from a site with the domain name they.com. It was from JC.com, but it doesn't really matter because this problem happens with articles from any website, even my own, for example this article here - therebel.website/en/editorial/821237-what-s-crazier - and I know for sure that link works beautifully with Facebook and I had no problems with jomsocial in the past getting a preview and thumbnail pic with links to articles on my own site. These problems only started after the last upgrade, when I upgraded the site to Joomla 3.3.6

Hi Andrew,

for therebel.website/en/editorial/821237-what-s-crazier I confirmed this a bug. because the domain it self .website.
please wait for the fix.

I tried share other URL:
phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=145...wsArticle&ID=1996302

no problem with article preview.

Great, automatic previews/thumbnails are working now. Thanks for that. Would be great, if you could fix it for same site articles too. It was working fine before the upgrade.

Any progress on this matter?

Hi Andrew,

still not fixed yet, I will let you know if developer done with this.

Regards

I just tried again, and Jomsocial status updates are still not working for links to articles on my own site. That's a shame, because it would good to be able to send traffic to important new articles on my own site, not just to those on other sites.

Hi Andrew,

please try this solution:
open /components/com_community/assets/_release/js/bundle.js, and find this code

/^(|.*\s)((https?:\/\/|www\.)([a-z0-9-]+\.)+[a-z]{2,4}(:\d+)?(\/.*)?)(\s.*|)$/i

/^(|.*\s)((https?:\/\/|www\.)([a-z0-9-]+\.)+[a-z]+(:\d+)?(\/.*)?)(\s.*|)$/i

This made no difference. Previews (thumbnail+introtext) of articles on my own site still don't work.

Article preview is no longer working at all, not just for articles on my own site.

Try this link:

This still hasn't been resolved.
