feincms-oembed 1.3.3

feincms-oembed converts standard URLs from more than 200 content providers into embedded videos, images and rich article previews by letting Embedly or another OEmbed provider to the hard work.

It’s stunningly simple to use:

1. Add 'feincms_oembed' to INSTALLED_APPS.

2. Create the content type:

   from feincms.module.page.models import Page
   from feincms_oembed.contents import OembedContent
   
   TYPE_CHOICES = [
       ('default', _('Default presentation'), {
           'maxwidth': 500, 'maxheight': 300, 'wmode': 'opaque'}),
       ('transparent', _('Transparent'), {
           'maxwidth': 500, 'maxheight': 300, 'wmode': 'transparent'}),
       ]
   
   Page.create_content_type(OembedContent, TYPE_CHOICES=TYPE_CHOICES)

You can also specify additional parameters which are sent to the OEmbed provider too:

Page.create_content_type(OembedContent, TYPE_CHOICES=TYPE_CHOICES,
    PARAMS={'wmode': 'opaque', 'key': settings.EMBEDLY_KEY})

If you want to customize the Embedly request or use another OEmbed provider, set settings.OEMBED_PROVIDER to a function receiving the URL and a dict with additional arguments and returning a suitable URL which returns OEmbed JSON on access. OEMBED_PROVIDER must either be a dotted python path or a callable:

from feincms_oembed.providers import embedly_oembed_provider
def my_provider(url, kwargs):
    kwargs['wmode'] = 'opaque'
    return embedly_oembed_provider(url, kwargs)

OEMBED_PROVIDER = 'path.to.module.my_provider'
# OEMBED_PROVIDER = my_provider # The function can be used too, not only
                                # the dotted python path.

The content is looking for templates in the following order in the folder content/external/:

1. type of the embedded object (e.g. ‘video’) + .html

2. type of the content type (e.g. ‘transparent’) + .html

3. default.html

If you don’t want any surprises with blocked access to Embedly it is suggested that you register for a free API key.
