collective.embedly 1.4

Usage

To embed media from the embedly-supported external resource to Plone:

• Go to the object’s edit form, select some text and choose ‘Embedly link’ style for it.

• The text should now look like linked. TinyMCE makes the whole passage linked, so keep in mind that the whole passage will later be substituted with embedded media.

• Select this text again and go to Insert link to insert the URL to the desired object on the external service.

• Save this page. Now when rendered, there will be “preview” from embed.ly service inserted instead of the linked text.

• You can pass resize the embeded object passing ‘maxwidth’, ‘maxheight’ params. Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1NPLlhFTVk&maxwidth=400&maxheight=300

• Also ‘wmode’ and ‘callback’ are available. Consult embed.ly documentation for usage.
