Description
Hi All,
I know the Commons typically strips embed and iframe codes but sometimes we allow for custom embeds on certain sites.
A professor is requesting a github embed on his commons site, message below --
"I am trying to put together a microsite to showcase my students' work throughout the semester. The site will be built in Javascript and deployed in Github Pages and I was hoping to embed or iFrame it into our commons class page.
The link to embed will be at: https://interactivedatavis.github.io/Adv-Studio-Fall2020/ [interactivedatavis.github.io]
(currently it is just a duplication of last year's site, but it will be updated this weekend).
The commons link we would like to include the site on is: https://datavisstudiof2020.commons.gc.cuny.edu/category/posts/
"
Can we allow this embed on his site? Let me know if anymore information is needed.
Thanks!
I tried the github embed plugin but it did not work.
The "embed" block also did not work with the github link the professor provided but maybe I need a different link.
The existing GitHub embed tools are specifically for embedding code samples. This is different from GitHub Pages rendered apps, as the one being used by the instructor. That's why our existing tools don't work.
The easiest thing is for me to write a custom embed handler. Can you confirm that this is a one-time thing, with a URL that won't change? If so, I can include a shortcode in next Tuesday's release.
Hi Boone,
Yes, I believe this is a one time thing. The professor would like to embed the student projects (github page) into the commons page (url provided) for this semester only. I can also let her know that we cannot support this embed process every upcoming semester (if that is the case).
- Target version set to 1.18.1
It's not a problem to do one per semester. I just don't want to create this one shortcode, then have the instructor realize they need three more right away, etc :) But it seems like this is not the case here, so we'll get a shortcode for the 1.18.1 release.
Ah, makes sense.
Shortcode release as part of 1.18.1 sounds great.
Thanks Boone!
