Github Gist Embedding plugin for Telligent Community.
Github gists allow code snippets to be managed and shared with others. This plugin allows them to be embedded within content in a Telligent Community site.
This plugin should work with the following versions of Telligent Community
- Telligent Community 10.x
- Telligent Community 9.x
- Telligent Community 8.x
- Telligent Community 7.x
You can install the plugin by downloading the latest version and adding it to your sites bin folder, or if you are using Visual Studio you can use nuget:
Install-Package ArdourDigital.TelligentCommunity.Gists
The plugin then needs to be enabled, how you do this varies based on your version of Telligent Community:
Telligent 9.x/10.x
The plugin can then be enabled by logging in as an administrator, and going to Administration > File Viewers and finding Ardour Digital - GitHub Gist File Viewer, check the Enabled check box, and Save.
Telligent 7.x/8.x
The plugin can then be enabled by logging in as an administrator, and going to Control Panel > Site Administration > Manage Plugins and finding Ardour Digital - GitHub Gist File Viewer, check the check box, and click Save at the bottom of the page.
When creating content in Telligent Community using the Rich Text Editor, Insert an Image/Video/File using the menu (the menu differs slightly between versions of Telligent Community).
Ensure you have selected Web (URL) (this is YouTube or Web (URL) in earlier versions) from the dropdown for From and then enter the URL of the GitHub Gist as the URL, and click OK.
If you are using the default social theme you may see extra lines when viewing Gists on your community, this can be removed by adding the following CSS to your site:
.content-fragment .content > .content .gist table th,
.content-fragment .content > .content .gist table td { border-bottom: none; }
The simplest way to do this is by adding it to the Custom Style Sheet field for the theme, as an administrator:
- Go to homepage > Click the Pencil in the top right >
Manage Site Theme>Edit this Theme>Custom Styles(Telligent Community 9.x) Control Panel>Site Administration>Site Content>Site Theme>Custom Styles(Telligent Community 8.x and lower)
