What’s the best practice for embedding an book preview from Google Books? Google books provides both a plain link and an iframe, but neither of them work out of the box: [image] By “don’t work” I mean they don’t give me a onebox when pasted into discourse. The only solution I see at the moment is to whitelist google.books.com using @simon’s whitelist-iframe plugin. Is this the best/only way forward?

Take a look here https://discussbook.com/ and here view-source:https://discussbook.com/assets/plugin-third-party-6ae2c6dcefb0b7bf8b18b7b7f6c91a8882c9cde5f35e429cf3c2cb85fe77e855.js . I think that site add a js script and a script src to include the API library Developer's Guide | Google Books APIs | Google for Developers

That books integration looks fascinating (though the previews don’t seem to work, I just get an empty lightbox). What I had in mind was oneboxing the preview, but this might also work (when it works), maybe even better. I will have to look into that source code later to see what in those 1383 lines is relevant here (I am not a programmer). Trash: I think that site add a js script and a script src to include the API library Are you saying that the whole integration is done only via JS, no discourse plugin?

I’m not sure, but you can ask to @net_deamon (see Discussbook on discourse, anybody interested? Not paid, but collaboration). If he wrote a plugin you can ask him to share it

I have successfully added google books to the iframe whitelist using the whitelist-iframe plugin. :tada: and it works just perfectly when pasting the iframe code that google books provides by default.

A plugin has been released today: [image] Discourse Googlebooks Plugin discourse-googlebooks is a plugin for integrating google books with discourse. This plugin has been built to specific needs of site I run ie https://discussbook.com. Nevertheless, I feel that this plugin can be useful for people integrating google books with their site. Here are some screenshots from the plugin Screenshots from the plugin 1. Editor integration [editor] [editor] 2. Category Settings [category settings] 3. Topic integration.
