I've been looking for a way(plugin) to display a post on my blog as a thumb and title, but couldn't find anything. There are a few websites that sell scripts/plugins which can achieve this result if you write your own post, but it's not what i want. I'd like to display an external link on my blog , to show it as an image and title. When a user clicks on it, it goes straight to another website. Maybe there is a plugin to do so. There is an example of what I'd like to do.

I am trying to reproduce a RSS reader like Feedly with Google Sheet and displaying with Glide as an app on my mobile phone.
Everything's fine with IMPORTFEED() function with titles, description, URL.
But it seems this function doesn't allow pictures to be displayed even if they are in the feed (which is not all the time).
So I am looking for a way to extract the main image from a blog post... the one displayed when you hover on a link in a Google Sheet cell.
I would like to get the link of that image displayed in the link preview and put that link in another cell.
Here is an example:
I tried IMAGE()
and also IMPORTXML when there is an image in the RSS feeds (but not all of them do... so I stopped)
Is it possible in Google Sheet to get the main image from the one displayed in the link preview ?
For instance, one of the blog I want to extract the main picture of a blog article would be Creajv (URL : https://creajv.com/ ; Feed : https://creajv.com/feed/)
So the IMPORTFEED() function I did in Google Sheets was :
=IMPORTFEED("https://creajv.com/feed/";"items";FALSE;3)
Which stands for :
=IMPORFEED(...) the function to import feeds from an URL
"items" the way to pull every data there is in the feed (you can use other parameters and can see all the possibilities on the GoogleFormulas documentation)
FALSE because I don't want the headers to be included
and the number 3 because I want only the last 3 results displayed.
And it displays perfectly : author, description, URL, date
But I did a little digging in Google and found that basically IMPORTFEED() cannot get images from feeds, even if it is added by the author of the blog (he has to add a feature to do it).
So I am now trying to see if there is another way which is not IMPORTFEED() to get every time the main image of a blog post.
And I saw Google Sheet is able to pull instantly it when I copy paste the URL of a blog article within a cell for instance for Creajv :
Print screen of the image I get when I click in the cell which contains the post URL
So my thoughts would be that I can pull the author, date, description etc. with IMPORTFEED (which works perfectly every time) and use a formula on the cell with the URL to get in another cell the URL of the picture pulled from the one in the link preview.
Two other possibilities might also be with Google App Script :
creating with the App Script a custom function
or creating a script pulling the image in a cell every time a new row is added via the IMPORTFEED() function.
Functions only, as Apps Script doesn't run on mobile Apps
How about this solution? I checked the website and inspected the image from the thumbnail.
Luckily, the structure is simple:
<div class="article-image">
<img src="https://creajv.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/HighresScreenshot00000.png" alt="Concours de Level Design avec Unreal Engine, du 11/11 au 05/12/2020">
</div>
You can get the url with IMPORTXML, and apply IMAGE to it:
=IMAGE(ImportXml("https://creajv.com/2020/11/08/concours-de-level-design-avec-unreal-engine/", "//div[#class='article-image']//img/#src"))
Since you are already retrieving the post url with your previous formula, change the source url by the correspondent cell:
=IMAGE(ImportXml(C1, "//div[#class='article-image']//img/#src"))
For example:
I have just one trouble adding fb comments box in my site. I use kust one url and read the content of the site using js. I put in the head the init of my fb app but I have three post in the main page and I want one comment box for every post.

I mean dont show the moderation tool. But if i change the href of the post to my url real. Show me the noderstion tool but the same comments in every posts. Any idea???
The page is by ajax bwcause is a radio station and need to listwn the station y all contwnt. There is any way to assign thw url "manualy" in thw api of fb?
I have a tumblr account that has submission enabled, and I have a short description with a form in the "description" area that appears on the sidebar. However, this description also appears on myblog.tumblr.com/submit. I'd like to remove it.
I looked at the documentation on http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/custom_themes#navigation, but haven't been able to figure out how to prevent the sidebar description from showing at the top of the submit page.
Can anyone help?
I'm not sure if I understood your question correctly. But if I did, a work around would be using jQuery to check if the current url contains the string /submit and simply disable the sidebar, or the element that contains the description.
I don't know jQuery but I know it's possible. I'd suggest you to look into this post:
How to check if the URL contains a given string?
and combine it with this line (replace the "alert part")
$("#sidebardescription).hide();
Another solution would be if Tumblr provided you with a way to only render for specific pages. They usually do that. I'd look into this part {block:SubmissionsEnabled} {/block:SubmissionsEnabled} before I go with the workaround.
I am using Joomla and Seblod. I would like to create a gallery of thumbnails only, tiled next to one another and when clicked it will open each image into a lightbox (fancybox) and display larger image and description.
Problem I'm having is that when I try to display only the image thumbnails, I get the label "Image" or whatever I enter into Seblod. I just want plain image thumbnails, no text or any description but when clicked it opens them in the lightbox. I'm sure this is child's play, but confusing for a a beginning Joomla user like myself.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
There is built-in Lightbox functionality in Seblod, but it takes a few steps to make it work. It is even better if you use a custom template, because then you can add regular PHP functions to process your photos.
In any case, to get started, look at the tutorial I wrote on this subject: http://www.seblod.com/support/documentation/seblod-2x/fields/typo/1710-create-a-simple-gallery-with-fieldx-field.html
I am pretty new to joomla. The effect I am trying to achieve is http://www.greenjourneys.nl/individuele-reizen.html this. Notice, there is an featured image for each articles.
Can you tell me how to do this?
Just include the image before the page break.
There are a number of components that will allow you to resize the photo easily (or create tumbnails 'on the fly') which would work great for something like that.
However if you just have small images you want to use - simply include the image into the article before the pagebreak and use CSS to control how it lays out on the front page.
You can decide if you want the intro text to show in the main article or not, if you do - then you won't have to include the image again (it will show by default) but if you do not want the intro text to show, just be aware that the image you choose for the front page won't display in the article when clicked on.
Hope that helps.
