Onebox links not working

[pieterjanvc]

Hi,

I noticed this too, and after bit of research I found out that this forum is likely built on the Discourse software.

These previews are only generated if the webpages in question have the correct oEmbed /OpenGraph tags. If not, the link is not displayed in a box. You can see it in the preview though, but it displays an error message like I had in one of my recent posts:

Notice how the link to this post itself does show the box, because of course Discourse has implemented the correct tagging in its own system.

Could loading time of a large Shiny app be reduced by reading in most of the code externally?

Hello, You might want to read-up on scoping rules for Shiny apps: https://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/scoping.html In essence, the place where you put some variables / code defines whether they need to be loaded for every single session again (i.e. unique) or only once (i.e. global). You might have to disentangle some of your existing code, but this can really help reducing loading times if implemented correctly and the analysis allows it. Hope this helps, PJ

From what I read, there's nothing the forum folk can do about this, it's all at the creators of the external websites to have proper tags listed. Plus given privacy issues it seems that in some cases this is becoming a harder thing to implement (the details elude me :))

Hope this helps,
PJ
