I'm not sure what this is called, but I figured one of you might know. Once I know what I'm looking for I can do some googling.
So I have a django web app that I've been working on. I have a list of model instances that the user will be able to view on the front end. The model includes a bunch of data and an one or more images. I'd like to be able to share a link to that model from within the list.
Now, when I share a link on Facebook or whatever, the link generally transforms into an image of the content rather than just the link. Like a youtube video would show up as a link and a screen cap of the video that you can click on and navigate to that page.
How do you do that? Like, control what ends up in that image? I ask because when I paste a link from my site, all I get is a link (and for some reason Facebook blocks me from even sending the link in messenger)
Additionally I'd like for someone to be able to click a button to copy/paste a summary of the data and the image to share via SMS, messenger and or social media. Like how do I control the content of that copy/paste so that a user doesn't have to select the whole html view or what have you?
thanks for your time and knowledge,
EK
