EmbedAnything

Mediawiki extension to embed media into a page

• Use with:

<embed>URL</embed>

OR

<embed url=URL></embed>

OR

{{#tag:embed|URL}}

• Use "template" or "style" attribute to select template to use for embedding. ie:

<embed url=URL template=TEMPLATE></embed>

• Other attributes get passed on to template and will do various things, defined in the template. ie:

<embed url=URL template=TEMPLATE width=WIDTH></embed>

The above will send "width" to the template, and if it is supported, will adjust the width of the embed.

Templates

Templates are placed in

../Extensions/EmbedAnything/includes/template

Templates must be PHP files and must output their content. You get access to two variables in your template: $data and $options.

• $data contains all the data for the embed. Things such as images, text etc.
• $options contains the options passed on to the template. Whatever the person put into the embed tag. Use this for altering visuals of the template. ie: change the width, the colour, turn on or off elements.
