Developer notes
---------------

[](#developer-notes)

### Card

[](#card)

To display a URL card with an image preview, title and brief description, use `output/card` view:

```
echo elgg_view('output/card', array(
	'href' => 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dlf1_vuIR4I',
));
```

### Player

[](#player)

To dipslay a rich media player use `output/player` view:

```
echo elgg_view('output/player', array(
	'href' => 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dlf1_vuIR4I',
));
```

### Linkify

[](#linkify)

To linkify all URLs, usernames, emails and hashtags that are not wrapped in html tags, use `output/linkify` view. Pass your text in a `value` parameter. You can use `parse_` flags to skip certain qualifiers.

```
$text = '@someone needs to #linkify this article http://example.com and email it to someone@example.com';
if (elgg_view_exists('output/linkify')) {
	$text = elgg_view('output/linkify', array(
		'value' => $text,
		//'parse_urls' => false,
		//'parse_hashtags' => false,
		//'parse_usernames' => false,
		//'parse_emails' => false,
	));
}
```

To generate a preview for multiple URLs extracted from text, use `output/url_preview` view. Pass your text as a `value` parameter. The view will parse all URLs and generate previews.

```
$text = 'This video is really cool https://vimeo.com/channels/staffpicks/116498390';
if (elgg_view_exists('output/url_preview')) {
	$text = elgg_view('output/url_preview', array(
		'value' => $text,
	));
}
```
