Link Preview

A small plugin for Nicotine+ to display preview information like title and description about links sent in chats.

Plugin created with Nicotine+ Plugin Template made by Nachtalb.

Installation

Open Nicotine+ settings, go to General > Plugins and click + Add Plugins. After that download the latest release and extract it into the plugins folder.

Remove the version from the folder name. The folder name must stay the same across version upgrades otherwise you will loose any changed settings.

Now you can enable the Link Preview plugin in the previously opened plugin settings.

Commands

/lp-update manually check for updates.
/lp-reload reload the plugin.

Settings

Name	Function	Default
Check for Updates	Check for updates on start and periodically	Enabled
Message Colour	How the message should be coloured	Action
Link Preview	Template for how to display the information. Available placeholders are: `{site_name}`: Eg. YouTube, Google & Twitter `{title}`: Eg. "Some video title foo bar", "Your search query on google" `{description}`: Eg. "This is some video description on youtube" `{url}`: The URL which was sent in the chat message	`['* Title: {site_name} {title}', '* Description: {description}']`
Domain Blacklist	This may come in useful eg. when you have the YouTube Link Preview plugin active that has more detailed information about youtube videos. Prefix any regex with `r/`. You can use this regex if you use the YouTube plugin (see plugin description to copy it): `r/(?:www\.\|m\.)?youtu(?:be\-nocookie\.com\|\.be\|be\.com)`	`[]`
Domain Whitelist	Works the same as the blacklist but the other way around. Blacklist will be ignored.	`[]`
