Supporting tiktok urls for onebox

But how do we avoid everything bouncing? We need the iframes to have a fixed height.

Yeah it has to be fixed height, that’s not negotiable. Fixed height is the starting point.

Onebox hits their oEmbed API and grabs the width and height and creates an iframe of fixed width/height respecting the TikTok video aspect ratio.

How that sounds @sam / @codinghorror ?

Did this one ever make it to a roadmap?

I think forcing height and width for the iframe is reasonable. Though I have general concerns around all iframe oneboxes.

Now that we have integrated onebox we should probably list exhaustively all the IFRAMEs we are allowing out of the box in a setting, so we call this out.

I kind of feel like allowed onebox iframes should not be * out of the box, instead it should call out all the iframes we are allowing.

We have this data - it’s available in the site setting dropdown. OneBox engines are not allowed to render iframes unless they add the origin to the list first:

They add to the list via the requires_iframe_origins directive:

If the associated origin is not enabled, then the Engine is automatically disabled.

We could do that… but it would mean that new oneboxes will not automatically be added to the list.

Were you thinking of adding all the existing options? Or just a subset of the most common? :thinking:

Yeah I see, I forgot to expand the * :slight_smile: , I don’t think we need to do anything extra here barring @Falco’s original suggestion (use oembed api to get height add iframe to page) then users can opt out if they want.

Going to put a pr-welcome on this in case the community want to give this a shot.

Just wondering if there has been any progression with TikTok URL’s so when they react the same way as a YouTube video.

Thanks! :slight_smile:
