collective.embedcontent

Collective.embedcontent provides a way to install a zip or single html file of content into a plone site.

Features

• Content is displayed inside an iframe in a content view or in a mosaic tile.
• The iframe will dynamically resize vertically to fit the loaded content to avoid scroll bars.
• Content is not filtered like pasted html in the visual editor. This allows for:
  • subsites authored by other tools such newsletter software. Linked html works but need to be relative.
  • social media JS embed codes

Notes

• Note this does increase the likelyhood of harmful JS code existing on your site so be aware of who is allowed access to add embeded content.
• It doesn't currently have a way to just display part of the html content. You will need to ensure it is designed just display "content" and doesn't have its own headers and footers.
• Since its an iframe any content must use its own css. This can also lead to content that doesn't fit the site theme.

Examples

This add-on can be seen in action at the following sites:

• https://www.mhcs.health.nsw.gov.au (frontpage twitter and facebook tiles and under Media > Newsletters)
