embedded_url

For ActiveRecord, you can specify attribute to be embedded like the following.

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  with_embedded :link
end

Then you can get the embedded URL like

@post.embedded_link

If Embedded URL does not recognize the link then it will return the original value with ‘http://’ prefixed (if it is not already).

SlideShare configuration (apply at slideshare.net)

EmbeddedURL::SlideShare.configure do |config|
  config.api_key = 'api'
  config.shared_secret = 'secret'
end

Usage examples

Future Plan

Support these

• ustream.tv

• screenr.com

• flickr.com

• Pass option of height and width to to_embedded

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

• Fork the project.

• Make your feature addition or bug fix.

• Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but

  bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
