Enabling Embed Code Storage in Community Builder Fields

5 months 2 weeks ago #335923 by 4creator
Hello,

Is there a way to allow the storage of embed codes in fields created with Community Builder?
While I can display the Apple Music preview player on the TinyMCE editor by enabling iframe usage in Joomla and TinyMCE, the embed codes disappear from the editor upon saving the profile. If possible, I would like to input and save embed codes via a Text Area instead of an Editor Text Area.

Below is a sample of the embed codes:
<iframe id="embedPlayer" src="https://embed.music.apple.com/jp/album/blow-by-blow/158639291?app=music&amp;itsct=music_box_player&amp;itscg=30200&amp;ls=1&amp;theme=auto" height="450px" frameborder="0" sandbox="allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation" allow="autoplay *; encrypted-media *; clipboard-write" style="width: 100%; max-width: 660px; overflow: hidden; border-radius: 10px; transform: translateZ(0px); animation: 2s 6 loading-indicator; background-color: rgb(228, 228, 228);"></iframe>

Thanks

Use a Custom HTML field, which don't do any content filtering beyond whatever filtering your WYSIWYG editor does. I do not recommend letting users add iframes to editor text area fields as you're basically adding a security vulnerability to your site by doing so, but if you insist on doing this you can adjust "Exclude Tags from Filtering" in CB > Configuration > User Profile.

If you specifically need to allow embedding an apple music player from a specific album then you put 99% of the iframe in a Custom HTML field and give users a field to supply the album. You then substitute in the album into your Custom HTML field. This is the safer more secure way of doing this.

Actually I was aware of the existence of custom HTML but did not understand how to use it. I will try to follow your advice!

Thank you so much!!
