It supports 500+ services through the Embed.ly service, incl. Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Google Maps, New York Times, and many more. You can try it out yourself.

• Display a video player
• Show a Facebook post incl. "like" buttons
• Share a magazine article with the headline image
• Point to a business or a location in an interactive Google Map

Note: The Embed.ly service is ad supported on the free plan. For customisations and an ad-free display, you'll need a paid plan.

Installation

composer require chillu/silverstripe-elemental-embedly

Once complete, run dev/build from your browser, or command line via vendor/bin/sake dev/build.

Requirements

• Elemental ^4.0

Configuration

API Key

You can set an optional API key in admin/settings

JavaScript Embedding

The library inlines <script> tags with the block template. You probably want to configure \SilverStripe\View\Requirements\Requirements::set_force_js_to_bottom(true) in your project's _config.php. This avoids auto-inlining all other <script> tags.

Versioning

This library follows Semver. According to Semver, you will be able to upgrade to any minor or patch version of this library without any breaking changes to the public API. Semver also requires that we clearly define the public API for this library.

All methods, with public visibility, are part of the public API. All other methods are not part of the public API. Where possible, we'll try to keep protected methods backwards-compatible in minor/patch versions, but if you're overriding methods then please test your work before upgrading.
