Add extended Discourse Oneboxing support #131

Closed jqnatividad closed 8 years ago

jqnatividad commented 8 years ago

So beyond the synopsis with generic oneboxing that councilmatic already supports, we can get more detailed info (e.g. status of bill, etc.)

fgregg commented 8 years ago

I don't know what oneboxing means. Can you explain?

Interesting! Thanks for the info.

For additional context when evaluating this issue, we have gotten less than 5 visits originating on a Discourse site in the last month.

Will see if I can do a PR over the weekend. Its relatively straightforward to implement - basically, just tweaking the Opengraph or Oembed metadata tags to give more contextual info. Added bonus of making Facebook and SEO links better too so its not just for Discourse.

For more indepth integration ala Twitter, Github, Youtube, Wikipedia, etc., one will need to create a onebox engine - https://github.com/discourse/onebox

Cool! If you do want to make that PR, you should probably do it on https://github.com/datamade/django-councilmatic/blob/3ae7eaafdae2eb6184c866dddf08c52f0335797f/councilmatic_core/templates/partials/seo.html

Will do!

Long term, you may want to look into tighter Discourse integration... unlike Disqus, you own the content, it has integrated search and auto-suggestions, you can do categories, it doubles as a mailing list, and has a robust API https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-api-documentation/22706 cc @davidmooreppf

closing this since it's an enhancement & would make more sense in django-councilmatic
