## Description

Get Remote URL Info adds a button to the TinyMCE editor, which helps adding information
about remote URLs. It will open a popup where you can enter the URL and fetches 
the information (title, description and images) like Facebok or Google+. You can
select the desired image as well. When you confirm, the image is uploaded to you
server and a DIV with the information is added in your post. Because the information
is added into the post, you can edit it as you want, customizing the way it is displayed.

This is the first version of this plugin. If people like it, I can improve by adding
an admin page with options, some additional functionality and translations. You 
can give feedback in the [plugin page](http://oscardias.com/projects/get-remote-url-info/).

## Installation

    zip’ contents into ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Check TinyMCE if the additional button is there

## FAQ

  How do I change the styling of the DIV?

You can overwrite the default CSS styles (future versions will contain options for
this):
 .grui-url-info{border:1px solid #ccc;margin-top:10px;background:#fff;overflow:
hidden;padding:10px} .grui-url-description{margin-top:10px} .grui-url-image{float:
left;margin:10px 10px 10px 0}

  How do I change the image size?

The image is resized according to your WordPress settings. Check Settings > Media
in your WordPress admin.

  Why my images are cropped?

Once again, the image is cropped according to your WordPress settings. Check Settings
> Media in your WordPress admin.

  What happens with the copyright of the external title/description/images?

The owner of remote title, description and images is the remote website’s owner/
editor. That’s why you should always reference back to the orignial link when using
their content.
