BBCode - iframe

A Flarum extension which adds an iframe BBCode. Simply type: [iframe="URL"]. Target class .iframe in your custom CSS as needed.

Notice: Many sites block iframes. If the site blocks iframes you will not see anything.

Install

Install with composer:

composer require zerosonesfun/flarum-bbcode-iframe:"*"

Update

composer update zerosonesfun/flarum-bbcode-iframe:"*"
php flarum migrate
php flarum cache:clear

Uninstall

composer remove zerosonesfun/flarum-bbcode-iframe
php flarum cache:clear

I personally do not need this but I saw various people asking about iframes over the years. This is a solution.

People who have mentioned iframe recently (in case you still need this):

If anyone wants to make the iframe smaller, larger, and style it in any way, you will need to experiment with your own custom CSS. You may target the CSS class .iframe.

If someone can show an example of targeting a CSS class .iframe, that would be be great

r4nchy An example to change width:

.iframe {
width: 50%;
}

But, you can’t style anything inside of an iframe. Mostly you can just adjust width, height, hide or show scroll bars, add a border, etc.

Thanks for developing this extension!

I notice there is height css in the html page, so the iframe is a bit tall. And I cannot change it through the admin - > appearance -> css

Does anyone know how to fix this? Below is the screenshot.

Does this work?

.iframe {
height: 100px !important;
}

ash3T

Yes. It works like a charm. Thank you. 😁

Installed the plugin but no external pages are displayed. Is there anything to watch out for?

How to fullscreen?

Would be nice to add permission to use this tag, I don't want the whole forum to be able to embed iframes.

Kudos to ext developers! Successfully used it for incorporation of a location map from the 'nonstandard' GeoIP provider. Pretty easy to use.

Silvestrus

Not compatible anymore? Any ideas how to add iframe to post?

Silvestrus He mentioned that if you contact him via email, he can unarchive the extension on GitHub and transfer it to you.

I have taken over the maintenance of an extension originally developed by him and am continuing its development.

Silvestrus I use this one https://discuss.flarum.org/d/32332-better-iframe/18. It works fine, just no control over who is able to use it on the site.
I started a proposal to get that updated though, but no bites so far. https://discuss.flarum.org/d/37209-iframe-upgrade

Basically, I wanted to enable Tidal iframes in posts since my forum is about audiophile community and it is not supported by fof-formatting media embed (not on the list I guess).
