Iframely (Nodebb)

[JAC]

Iframely is enabled in NodeBB but seems to have stopped working, is this used here and would you be ok to take a look?

Many thanks

@jac I created a new API key using my account (you can have multiple keys, so not an issue for the moment), and this seems to work fine on your site

I can only assume that there is an issue with how you’ve configured iFramely under your own account. I’ll close this, as this isn’t a fault with the plugin itself.

@jac not something used here on Sudonix, but for this to work you need to define an API key which will of course need an account.

@phenomlab Thanks mate, although I have used this since the forum was set up. I believe the API key etc are in place.

@jac I had a quick look at this, and whilst it seems everything is in order in terms of API key etc, long-term, this plugin in not “free” (although there is a Developer edition which is limited to 10,000 hits per month).

There’s also a recommendation that you self-host - see https://iframely.com/docs/host

@phenomlab thanks Mark, I did see that and I would be well under that so I don’t see why it would stop working all of a sudden.

Ill be honest I have no idea how this would work .

[phenomlab]

@jac I’m not entirely sure myself. I’ll need to take a better look.

@phenomlab Thanks mate, I have no idea reading that how it can be hosted.

@jac again this has stopped working, I wonder if it’s anything to do with nodebb not being updated to the latest version…

Maybe I should look at self hosting

[phenomlab]

@jac Potentially, yes. I know there is a limit, but in all likelihood it’s probably more about the IP address you are using connect to their services - they may have it blacklisted. Do you know if any error messages are displayed in the browser console ?

[phenomlab]

@jac I’m probably going to try this plugin here as I have a need for it (well, more of a desire actually), so I’ll let you know how my testing goes.

[phenomlab]

@jac having tested this, it appears to work fine, but there is one main caveat in the sense that it works only for raw URL’s inserted into the post.

So, if you have a link inserted and bound to a word, then that won’t be detected. This looks like quite a nice plugin, so it can stay !

I don’t know about you mate but they have stopped working on my forum?

Maybe It’s time to self host I do wonder if this would fix the issue.

[phenomlab]

@jac yeah, stopped working for me also so I decided to self host. Was quite painful to setup but I got there in the end and need to put together a guide on how to do it.

I’ve used a subdomain for this based on security requirements and would recommend anyone else looking to self host do the same. The self hosted begin does have some limitations, but works very well for what I need as it’s active on Sudonix

That’s great mate, I’d also be looking to self host if it has worked out well. A guide will be very useful .

Although at the moment I have no laptop or way or doing any of this so there is no rush.
