how is embed.ly works??

when i add link to timeline isn't it supposed to show thumbnail of the site?!

right now i see only the link and some text

and i've added the api key  through administration. 

If you've added Embed.ly key then you can insert link into Timeline post text, not separate link post.

 i did not understand you alex.

ive selected link from the drop down, then added site link and submitted. the result is that it shows site link with a description automatically but there is no site thumbnail. and ive added the key

it doesn't work for the links posted separately, it finds the links posted in the text and convert them into embeds.

i thought it will be like the example in their site

1post link, submit

2 get image+metadata description

Hello, embed.ly works great on my website except in one occasion and I have a question about that, I made timeline auto refresh with code provided by AlexT:

<script type="text/javascript">
setInterval(function () {
    loadDynamicBlock(9, 'index.php?dynamic=tab');
}, 30000);
</script>

When timeline box is refreshed, every image, video or any item that is embeded on timeline are just links in text format, any advice how to make embeded links in timeline to stay images or video after refresh?

Try to modify this code the following way:

<script type="text/javascript">
setInterval(function () {
    loadDynamicBlock(9, 'index.php?dynamic=tab');
    $('.wall-view .wall-events').find('a.bx-link').dolEmbedly();
}, 30000);
</script>
