oEmbed

• Master
  

Description

EPiServer integration with bit.ly. This package contains an oEmbed block (properties: URL, max width, max height) plus view. An API key from bit.ly is mandatory to use this package.

Features

• Configuration section in web.config
• oEmbed block (URL, max width, max height) + view
• oEmbedApi class to call APi

Install-Package Geta.oEmbed

After the package is installed you'll have to register a free account on embed.ly to get an API key. In your web.config you should at the bottom see <oEmbedSettings apikey="your-key-here" />. Replace your-key-here with the API key from embed.ly.

Add oEmbedBlock to one of your content types:

public virtual oEmbedBlock EmbedBlock { get; set; }

And in your view:

@Html.PropertyFor(m => m.CurrentPage.EmbedBlock)

There's also a HTML helper method you can use:

@Html.oEmbed(Model.CurrentPage.EmbedBlock)

That's it! Build and run your site. You'll now be able to embed any content from the supported 300 providers.

HTTPS support: In order to use secured protocol you need to enable it in oEmbed settings by adding secure="true" key. Only payed embed.ly plans support SSL, otherwise you will have HTTP Status: 400 error.

You can install the latest using NuGet from nuget.episerver.com.

You need an API key from embed.ly to use oEmbed. There's a free plan supported that supports upto 10 000 URLs each month (as well as paid plans with more options and support).

in Web.config:

<configSections>
    <section name="oEmbedSettings" type="Geta.oEmbed.Configuration.oEmbedSettings, Geta.oEmbed"/>
</configSections>
<oEmbedSettings apikey="your-key-here" />
