@pfaffman Are you sure that your reply has anything to do with my question?
I’m simply asking if with “regular” means of management, in Discourse, it is possible to dis/allow use (or digestion or rendering or whatever tech term is most appropriate) of iframe (or onebox or whatever the term/technique is called)
If you meant in the reply, that there is a code which one could re-purpose that way - then it’s not for me nor the likes of me, not a web dev.
But if @devel read here - only started to use Discourse but having many long years as an admin of whole lot of things, I wonder:
- how do you, did you decide on that “philosophical” aspect of user “freedom” to include any content (say, sticking to video purely for this)?
I my mind, thing as critical as embedded video content — which even hosts/providers of cannot 100% control themselves, the content of it — should(must) be finely controlled (as all different computer systems I know treat any such/similar critical feature) on per user/group basis.
So, I’d like tu submit, as a suggestion, as a future enhancement — if Discourse has not contemplated that yet, if no ability for such control in Discourse exists as of today — to include such “hardening” mechanism/technique possibly in near future. I believe many will be grateful for great soft-solution - which Discourse obviously is already - made even better.
