When uploading an image, fof upload does something like this based on template '//host.com/image'. But, because of this, when sharing the post on social media, the image doesn't show up in the embed. But adding https: to the link solves the issue

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually add https: to links after uploading

Which adapter/template are you using? From what I remember Upload should always use fully qualified URLs in the content.

Which social media can we experience this on? You mean when one image from the post is picked up as the OpenGraph default image, or some kind of rich embed like Discord where the actual post content could be rendered including formatting?

[MeowMeowVenom]

I get this issue with all templates. I tried sharing image on telegram and discord. Adding https solves this issue But, it would be nice to have that in the template.

By embed, I mean the preview that you get, by just sharing a link on any social media.

If you have some time, then try making your own custom template.

Yeah, suggested that to my friend, who does better php. Thx for that suggestion!

Seems like this issue is resolved, as at least currently with 1.5.x the Open Graph Image is visible when sharing a discussion (which has a post with an image).

Therefore, this issue will be closed.
