Quickly explain what Onebox is?

A co-admin new to Discourse was going through the options and pointed out that “Onebox” wasn’t exactly intuitive. Maybe it’s worth adding a heading to that page about what Onebox is?

I am trying to embed something from autodesk360.com and it doesn’t seem to register. Is there a way within my discourse admin settings to allow for this iframe to show?

I believe @sam added a feature where you can whitelist iframes.

Another option if you haven’t already ruled it out might be Sketchfab, it looks like a lot of people have been using it to share their 3D models on a Discourse instance. If you search for Sketchfab here, you might find some examples of what you are looking for.

For clarity, would I be correct in thinking that Onebox is using oEmbed to provide embedded previews of links (ie that onebox is Discourse’s elsewhere-cryptically-referenced native support for oEmbed?)

Yes, onebox leverages OpenGraph and oEmbed tags, if present on the target site.

Olá,

Tenho a versão 2.5.3 do Discourse. Se eu copiar links do YouTube ou usar o hiperlink, aparece apenas o link, sem nenhuma imagem associada. Preciso fazer algo específico para que funcione?

Obrigado

Se você estiver escrevendo algo, pressione ‘enter’ até que fique em uma linha separada


@ondrej Estou inserindo em uma linha separada

Algumas possíveis razões:

  • o vídeo do YouTube foi configurado para não permitir incorporação (nas configurações do YouTube para o vídeo)

  • o IP do seu servidor está na lista negra do YouTube

O segundo caso pode ser testado postando o link do vídeo do YouTube aqui. Se funcionar aqui…
