Coverage smart embeds (contact activity view, campaign activity view)

[OllyGilbert]

• [ ] When a user enters a url with an open graph protocol (http://ogp.me/) into the coverage input box, Medialist pulls a smart embed into view—giving the user a summary of the article:

• [ ] The following information is displayed in the smart embed:

  • [ ] The resources image og:image
  • [ ] The date of first publication article:published_time
  • [ ] The resources title og:title
  • [ ] The url

• [ ] When a smart embed is displayed in a coverage post in an activity feed, the url concerned is hidden from the user's comment

@OllyGilbert do we need to handle the case where the user enters multiple urls?

[OllyGilbert]

@olizilla good point. In this instance let's show a smart embed for the first url given, but display all the urls in the user comment

This is how facebook does it:

@OllyGilbert The properties

• og:image
• article:published_time
• og:title

will be displayed if available. Some or all of them may not be found in the source document.

For example http://www.wired.co.uk/article/nintendo-switch-no-save-data-transfer has no article:published_time property.

@olizilla understood!

This is implemented now. To confirm

When a smart embed is displayed in a coverage post in an activity feed, the url concerned is hidden from the user's comment is not implemented, but rather it is left "facebook style" and the urls are in the copy as well embeding the preview of the first one.

Auto linking the urls is a separate issue that should be tackled as part of making the inputs support basic markdown, for bold, italic and autolinking of urls

Fixed in #369

@olizilla can we remove the loading indicator from the log feedback/coverage input field so that user's don't hang around if the smart embed is never going to arrive
