Seems like an obvious onebox but does not appear to be enabled at the moment. Would generate the typical default trello view of a card inside a box representing the list the card is embedded in. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/5/d/5dd0d685c675b604d5fc222543f0cacb61e5b19f.png) ---

Also, keep in mind that in general, oneboxes are designed _not_ to have dynamic content in them. Once they are ‘baked’ they stay that way… So if you onebox a trello card, and then later change the title, that change won’t be reflected in the onebox. ---

> [@mcwumbly](#): > > So if you onebox a trello card, and then later change the title, that change won’t be reflected in the onebox. Good point. I’d wager that for a large majority of the times a person would include a link to a trello card, it would be unlikely that the text would materially change on the title of the card. It will in some cases. The list the card is associated with is likely to be much more volatile. > [@alefattorini](#): > > Sorry I can’t get it. Can you explain a bit your idea?

hi, so have you guys enabled oneboxing of trello cards in discourse? i tried to add [https://trello.com](https://trello.com) in whitelist for onebox settings yet cant see the trello card being oneboxed. can you tell, by when I can expect this feature, if not already present ---

I wanted to embed a trello board, and while they don’t have any support for oembed, they do support iframes of content by changing a board url like `https://trello.com/b/nC8QJJoZ/trello-development-roadmap` into `https://trello.com/b/nC8QJJoZ.html` I’ve wrapped up that simple logic into a onebox and submitted a PR: [https://github.com/discourse/onebox/pull/359](https://github.com/discourse/onebox/pull/359) > **Screenshots** > > A board embed looks like this: > > ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/8/9/897d48f00e2cd714e0ed73120ab452e2fd4de6bd.png) > > And a card embed looks like this: > > ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/4/d/4db37284faab22e4e23eebcabcc3da8bd86ac2eb.png) ---

This is looking pretty strange the whole scrolling thing is a bit weird. Is there a way to get a less scrolly one going? ---

Agreed it’s not perfect - but with the way trello boards are used (lots of lists horizontally) I don’t really see how it could be displayed without scrolling ☹ Even opening that board in a full screen browser requires a lot of scrolling. Links to specific cards will onebox with minimal scrolling (depending on height of card): https://trello.com/c/ohpcMYy6.html I guess one option is to not bother show the content of the board itself, and just show some meta-data about it instead… ---

Yeah I agree that oneboxing the entire board isn’t necessary. It ends up feeling like an iframe with [trello.com](http://trello.com) inside it. Oneboxing individual cards looks great though! ---

Yeah this is really bad, on mobile there is no way to scroll it at all. We have been down this road with Google Docs and it is a trail of tears. Best to show a summary of the instance rather than heavy, ineffectual embedding. ---

The embedding looks a lot nicer! But this bit worries me: > Now when the page loads, the script will find that card, and replace it with a fancy embedded version. Sounds suspiciously like Twitter’s embedding, which we can’t use on discourse because it modifies the height after the page loads… 😕 Maybe we can use the “programmatic card creation” in a `decorateCooked` method somehow… Edit: Yep, their [handily un-minified javascript](https://p.trellocdn.com/embed.js) has some iframe-resizing magic going on, so I don’t think it’ll work ☹ ```plaintext var receiveMessage = function receiveMessage(event) { if (!isAllowedOrigin(event.origin)) { return; } if (event.data.command === 'resize' && event.data.secret) { var card = _this.activeCards[event.data.secret]; if (!card || !card.el) { return; } var newHeight = event.data.options.height; if (newHeight !== undefined) { card.el.height = newHeight; } ``` ---
