Cajas de sombra para IFRAMEs

Administramos un sitio comunitario para docentes que utilizan el currículo Bootstrap para enseñar ciencias de la computación dentro de clases convencionales de matemáticas, ciencias y estudios sociales. Nuestro IDE está basado en la nube, por lo que tenemos la capacidad de incrustar una instancia del mismo dentro de una publicación en Discourse; esto es increíble y ya estamos encantados de haber migrado a esta plataforma solo por esta característica. :slight_smile:

Sin embargo, hay mucho contenido que nos gustaría incrustar de esta manera, y parte de él es más ancho que lo permitido por el ancho de la publicación. Personalizar el CSS para permitir publicaciones más anchas no ha dado resultados y, en última instancia, lo que me gustaría es que los IFRAMEs se traten de la misma manera que las imágenes: se muestra una miniatura, pero al hacer clic se abre una ventana modal (shadowbox) que es tan ancha como la ventana del navegador.

Nunca he trabajado con el desarrollo de plugins de Discourse, pero también podría imaginar alguna extensión de Onebox que tome URLs que coincidan con un patrón específico y genere el marcado apropiado. ¿Quizás hay una forma más fácil? Me pregunto si alguien más se ha encontrado con este caso de uso.

Maybe @Johani would have some ideas. In general heavy embedding of live content is a bad idea, whereas “click-to-load” like codepen does is more ideal:

Thank you both for the quick reply!

@craigomez, I might be misreading your post, but it sounds like you’re suggesting I modify the source of the page I’m embedding, in order to have links in that page open in a shadowbox. Is that right? If so, let me clarify that I don’t want that – rather, I want the enclosing IFRAME (a node in the rendered topic, which just happens to contain another page) to be in a shadowbox. And if that’s not right, and I misunderstood, my apologies. :slight_smile:

@codinghorror, click-to-load is a mighty fine solution. Happy to pursue that option, if there’s a resource somewhere to follow?

It would be super cool if you could maximize without needing to visit the site, I wonder if this is a feature @chriscoyier would be interested in adding, not sure how it would be wrangled, but it makes sense for this example you made, for sure.

I’d love to make our editor click-to-load. Is there an example somewhere for how this was done with CodePen? I’m assuming whitelisting WeScheme.org in our installation is the least of the steps needed.

check out this previous post/topic for additional context:

Seems like that is done on the codepen side?

Make the preview “Click-to-Load” : Check the checkbox next to “use click-to-load” to enable the preview version for your embedded Pen. Preview embeds show a static image preview of your Pen with a “Run Pen” button. When your visitors click the button, the Pen will load.

This is now possible with a theme component:

Very interesting! I was able to install the theme using the linked directions (thanks!), but I don’t see a UI for editing the theme settings in order to whitelist my site. Any suggestions for where I should be looking? Thanks in advance!

If you’ve installed the theme and cannot see the settings area, then that probably means you’re on a version of Discourse that does not support theme settings.

Even if you’re on the stable branch, the latest release, 2.0, supports theme settings so I would suggest you update Discourse and try again.

Success! Thanks so much, @Johani! And thanks to everyone else who chimed in with suggestions and advice!
