Hi, i just would ask, is there any plugin wiht name embedly?

Hi Laszlo,

Gregor developed an embed.ly blocktype. Zip file can be downloaded from here:

https://mahara.org/view/view.php?id=35826

Or from github:

https://github.com/povsod/mahara-blocktype-embedly

It should work with Mahara 15.04 and older versions. I haven't tried it with 16.04. You can try it and let us know. 

Cheers,

Hello László,

Embed.ly is a service that allows you to embed content from many different social media sites without having to whitelist their iframe code. It became part of Mahara core in 16.04 and you can use it via the "External media" block and simply paste the code that you get from Embed.ly. You do not need to install the plugin anymore. I think generally, Embed.ly cards are used to create the code.

Cheers

Hello László,

Can you please provide more information on what you mean with the multirecipientnotification plugin not working? What are the steps that you are taking? Do you have cron running?

Thank you

I'm confused about how the Embed.ly plug-in is supposed to work. I'm in the Embed.ly plug-in administration section and is has a link to : Apply for your free key online. But there doesn't seem to be any free option available. There is only a $99 a month API option or a $9 a month card option. Am I missing something? Is there any documentation this?

Thanks

Looks like it has been discontinued...

"The biggest change comes in removing our free API tiers on April 17th, 2017. Over the last 6 years, you, our users, have been fair to us, and we’re committed in being fair and loyal to you too. While the free API may be gone, we will still provide a free option through Cards using our generator."

Now I have to check to see if this functionality is now broken... sigh. This is a very popular function for my clients.

Time for me to revisit my idea of a self-hosted alternative using the iframely code.

Hello Meg and Patric,

Thanks for letting us know. External services in core can be tricky. I created https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1687343 for us to look into what we would need to change to make the transition.

Cheers

Thanks for your replies Katrina and Patric. Will watch and see how it unfolds. It does seem like it would be useful but won't work for us if a subscription is required.

Cheers
