Template:WEiFrame
A template for pulling external web content into a course after it's been "snapshotted" to a suitable (where the person initiating the snapshot has admin permissions) WordPress site or subsite (in the case of a WordPress Multi-site implementation like [OERu's Course site](https://course.oeru.org).
Note, the external content will not be shown in the WikiEducator context, because MediaWiki (WikiEducator's underlying software platform) is rightly wary of iframed content, a capability which could be misused in a relatively unregulated environment like WikiEducator. Sensible, non-exploitative use of this template is the responsibility of whoever is initiating the snapshot of the content including this information.
Parameter
- url
- the url is the web address of the content to be pulled into the iframe - note, the server hosting this must be configured to allow the WordPress site within any X-Frame-Options setting.
- width
- the horizontal dimension of the viewport of the iframed content, using any appropriate CSS units like "px" (pixels - an absolute measure) or "%" (percent of available space) or "em" (based on width of average character). If not supplied, defaults to "100%" of the available width.
- height
- the vertical dimension of the viewport of the iframed content, also using any appropriate CSS units. If not supplied, defaults to "400px".
- style
- optional a list of ad hoc "inline" CSS style rules in the form rule1: value1; rule2: value2; etc. ... For more on CSS see Cascading Style Sheets.
- classes
- optional one or more CSS classes to associate with this iframe.
- id
- optional a CSS id to associate with this iframe.
Sample
Here're some sample template invocations for the examples shown below suitable for copy-and-pasting...
{{WEiFrame
|url=https://tech.oeru.org/2018-update-oeru-technology-stack#case-study
|style=font-weight: bold;
|height=200px
|width=100%
|classes=class1 class2
|id=id1
}}
And this is what they look like as one liners...
{{WEiFrame|url=https://tech.oeru.org/2018-update-oeru-technology-stack#case-study|width=100%|id=id1|style=font-style: italic;}}
{{WEiFrame|url=https://tech.oeru.org/2018-update-oeru-technology-stack#case-study|classes=class1 class2}}
Example
This is how the Sample templates above render in WikiEducator - it does not pull in the iFramed content due to MediaWiki's policy on not including iFrames due to security considerations - they will, however, appear, when the Wiki pages containing this template are snapshotted into the context of a WordPress site.
