Interior materials | FIAT Barchetta

The interior lining against the fuel tank and in the boot are becoming increasingly brittle on the b-95. I don't suppose there are decently priced tailor made replacements...? Assuming not, what have you used, some kind of general car liner material on a roll that you cut into shape? I saw in...

the forum software has displayed a preview of the eBay link but not the ePer link. Might it be nice to have a similar preview for ePer links? I couldn't quickly see what information xenForo wants ePer to provide but I'm happy to update the metadata from ePer to give what is needed. I get the feeling that the results are cached in the forum so this wouldn't resolve old posts but would do work for new links posted

To, partly, answer my own question. Looks like we need to support og meta tags

Using info gleaned from here Medium info
I stubbed up some html with og meta tags and that now shows a reasonable preview in the unfurl dialog

We get a preview that looks like this (URL redacted as it's some private server I don't want to share!):

With a bit of fine tuning that could work?

I think there should be enough variable data in the template already to do this without further controller changes?

I'll have a look at this tomorrow 👍

That was my gut feel, it's mostly the page title and possibly a logo, car image or whatever drawing is being displayed on the page. If you need anything else returned in the ViewModel then shout. Good luck!

Minor, pedantic, point but we're not getting a favicon next to the URL. Not sure whether it needs another tag for that or should just get it from the site.

Should have been picked up, but for some reason it wasn't. Have added the tag now to make sure :)
