Embed iframe content in posts
Hey guys,
A couple of weeks ago I found out a shortcut to embed on the community. This way we could embed Google Maps, Facebook videos, etc. I told Shane how I worked it out:
First, go to Facebook, select the live video you want, and click on the three buttons in the right corner. Here click embed. A code appears (PS. this trick works on all the iframe codes, I also tried it with embedded Google Maps).
Go to the backend of the community, create a new topic. Add a header, and a small piece of text in the body. With only the code, the topic won't be accepted. For example:
Test
https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FEconomicTimes%2Fvideos%2F902127109979445%2F&show_text=0&width=560" width="560" height="315" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" allowFullScreen="true"> Click on 'Publish.' You'll see that the post doesn't load the live video. So, go to 'Edit Topic.' Delete the whole text with 'Select All' (do not only select the visible text, you need to delete the by now invisible code as well). Again, type the text you want and paste the link of the live video. Publish again. Voila!
Now, a couple of weeks later, the function disappeared and all the iframes we embedded in previous content has disappeared. Could you please fix this, so we can embed iframes again? Thanks! Bart
