CUNY Academic Commons

I just tested creating an iframe, and it didn't work. ant.umn.edu sets X-Frame-Options to SAMEORIGIN, which means that its arbitrary URLs (such as https://ant.umn.edu/kddtgowusb/view) can't be embedded by a third party.

This cross-origin restriction is common for services that don't want others to abuse their content. As such, it's likely that we could only build an embed for WP if the Video Ant people introduced an embed endpoint (which would have a more permission X-Frame-Options header). We could ask https://academics.cehd.umn.edu/digital-education/projects-and-resources/ but it's a non-trivial task, and I'm sure they're short on resources. Perhaps you could reach out to them and let them know that we're interested in embedding, and ask whether they've considered adding this feature? (Without outright asking them to do it.)

Thanks for the embed code example, Laurie.

I've added a new shortcode and embed handler for VideoAnt: https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/10d0ce4e7dfa978be4e6a2d69e918c216ec4d883. After next Tuesday's maintenance release, you should be able to paste a VideoAnt URL on its own line for embedding to work. For further customization, you can use the [videoant] shortcode to customize the width and height:

[videoant url="PASTE URL HERE" height="500px" width="600"] would set the height to 500px instead of the default of 975px and the width to 600 instead of the default of 100%.
