[nodebb-plugin-iframely] IFramely Embeds

j.b. o.

Hello,

A simple question:
does a configuration page exist for the plugin?

I disable all the possible plugins in conflit like nodebb-embed-videos or nodebb-plugin-soundcloud then i have activate this plugin... And i was surprised, i don't find a way to configure the api or the domain to use. Moreover, i don't see any new button in the post editor?

I have trying to install iframely on my own. It seems to work but it unfortunately shut down when i quit the terminal for now. I'm beginning with nginx and node.js, and i don't understand why nodebb is remaning alive therefore iframetly seems to shut down.

It could be a really good addition because all the embed plugins don't work all well.

Thank you in advance for the help.

@j.b.-o. Yes, the plugin does come with a configuration page. Looks like some other issue is causing your NodeBB to not function properly...

@julian after remove some plugin, reinstall and restart the forum, i get the configuration page.

I configure my api adress (http://iframely.custom.com/iframely) and try to test it in the post editor when the api is alive:
http://iframely.custom.com/iframely?url=https://soundcloud.com/tontondavidmusic/medley-oct-2014 > it works

So i add directly in a post the url like that:
[texte du lien](https://soundcloud.com/jackedradio/afrojack-presents-jacked-radio-week-23)
https://soundcloud.com/tontondavidmusic/medley-oct-2014

Nothing append. Have i missed something?
Could it be useful to have a button in the editor?

@j.b.-o. Same here.
My BB version is 9.3. This is the problem? @julian

I believe this is how the plugin works... by processing naked links, and not ones in Markdown syntax. The IFramely team takes care of the plugin now, I'd advise opening an issue there.

This would be wanted behaviour. You've specified link text. So this takes precedence over the embed.

The embed should be fired from just a link. And not full markdown.

@a_5mith i have tried the both, i think.

I check and i notice my config option are not saved.
I can fill the address, http://iframely.custom.com/iframely or http://iframely.custom.com (i'm not sure) for example. I save the page. I reload nodebb, the page, clean the cache. My config is still saved.
But when i came back a day later, in another session, the page is still empty.

Could it be a problem wth the plugin install?
Or nodebb?

[edit] i confirm the config is not save. I don't have the notification. how can i check the database to verify if the configuration was solved?

j.b. o.

Hello,

The plugin was updated. The problem seems to be solved.
Meanwhile, the configuration page change a little.

I have to clarify some configuration but it is a big step, thank you very much for the update.

Hi,
I made a issue on a github related with my plugin ( nodebb-plugin-magicblock )

Option to embed urls with a special class or a attribute? · Issue #15 · NodeBB-Community/nodebb-plugin-iframely

Hi, I really love a iframely with nodeBB. I have to say "thank you" first. But the only problem is that it embed every naked URLs and sometimes it's so messy. Is it possible I can get a option to specify a class or attribute of link (...

GitHub (github.com)

And also, I implemented what I suggested by my self.

It seems that the iframely plugin doesn't have high priority to a developement team, I'm fully understand that can be.
I just worried if issues of iframely plugin are just out of eyes by chance, and make a post here to press the team

Could any developement member look at this?

Additionally, there is another important and urgent ( than mine ) issue.

Does anybody figured out which is the endpoint to be set up for custom iframely install?

How to deploy Iframely API to your own servers

Self-host the open-source web embeds parsers for hundreds of domains

Iframely (iframely.com)

I still haven't worked out a few kinks, but I've been able to get it up and running on my site. It's not as effective though for normal sites. Take a look at the link above.

Here's what a non-paid embed for the same page looks like on my site:

I recently posted a topic in the Testing Area with more examples - though things went as expected there.

exodo

how do you use that free domain for testing? i set my dev domain on options and it doesn't work

how do you get the free domain?

julian

@exodo Unfortunately, I don't think the free domain exists, just the free tier with the API key you can get from their site.

I'd ask on their issue tracker or via contact form though, just to be sure!

Bri

@julian is the free tier you're referring to the 1000 hits / mo dev plan? Or is there another API key you have to request?

well, anyone can get free api key, not sure what this mean

they authorised a special, completely free domain for use in all* NodeBB forums!

julian

I believe they were planning on allowing unlimited use, although at this time I'm not sure whether that is still in effect. Best to assume that that does not exist anymore

i see
then maybe is better to remove that line from first post
as we have only 1k/month free hits and plans upgrade are expensive I think some new people will be disappointed to see the functionality running on this community and then discover that it is a paid plugin

We've been self hosting the open source iframely version. Very simple and doesn't seem to require much server load.

torn2

@boomzilla Are you able to edit the cards when you self host?

boomzilla

@torn2 Not to my knowledge. It works just like using their service except it all happens on your server (or servers, if you put it on a separate machine).
