1. Installation

K3: up to 1.1.0, K4: up to 1.1.2, K5: 1.2.0+

Download and copy this repository to /site/plugins/embed

Alternatively, you can install it with composer: composer require sylvainjule/embed

2. Blueprint usage

The plugin provides a embed field that you can include in any blueprint:

fields:
  embed:
    label: Embed
    type: embed

You have access to all providers supported by oscarotero/Embed. Please note that I won't include any provider unsupported by this library.

You can optionally limit the allowed provider to one within this list : youtube, vimeo, flickr, instagram, twitter, soundcloud. If any other link is pasted, the field won't request the embed.

embed:
  type: embed
  provider: youtube

If you are using this field in a structure field, it comes with a built-in preview. You can optionally set icons: true (default is false) to display some providers logos in this preview.

embed:
  type: embed
  icons: true

The field also has all the url field's options, except those which wouldn't make much sense for such a plugin (default for example), won't fetch anything in the backstage.

3. Options

3.1. nocookie

Use privacy-enhanced URLs whenever possible (default: false). If set to true:

• youtube.com domain will be replaced by youtube-nocookie.com in the saved embed code
• vimeo.com iframes will have a dnt=1parameter added in the saved embed code

In your config.php file:

'sylvainjule.embed.nocookie' => true

4. Front-end usage

The plugin provides a ->toEmbed() method, which is useful to get all the stored data of the embed (its html code, and a few other informations detailed below).

It also allows you to make sure your embed is successfully synced before trying to access the data:

if($embed = $page->myfield()->toEmbed()) {
    echo $embed->code()
}

Once you have access to the structured embed, here are the options you will have access to as if they were fields (this comes handy because depending on the provider, some informations might be empty. You can therefore check them with the usual Kirby field methods, like $embed->license()->isEmpty()).

$embed->title();        // The page title
$embed->description();  // The page description
$embed->url();          // The canonical url
$embed->type();         // The page type (link, video, image, rich)
$embed->tags();         // The page keywords (tags)

$embed->image();         // The main image found in the page

$embed->code();          // The code to embed the image, video, etc
$embed->width();         // The width of the embed code
$embed->height();        // The height of the embed code
$embed->aspectRatio();   // The aspect ratio (width / height)

$embed->authorName();    // The resource author
$embed->authorUrl();     // The author url

$embed->providerName();  // The provider name of the page (Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, etc)
$embed->providerUrl();   // The provider url
$embed->providerIcon();  // The main icon found in the page

$embed->publishedDate(); // The published date of the resource
$embed->license();       // The license url of the resource
$embed->feeds();         // The RSS/Atom feeds

A global site method is available to request embed data $site->getEmbedData($url)).

$url = 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXX';
$site->getEmbedData($url);
