Privacy-friendly integration of iframes in Joomla! articles
With this plugin, you can add iframes easily and privacy-friendly into your Joomla articles using a simple syntax!
Instead of using iframes directly, a preview box is used with a load button. The user must click the button to load the content, ensuring no data is transferred to the external source without the user's consent.
Features
- Easily embed iframes into Joomla articles using simple syntax
- Utilizes a preview box instead of direct iframe loading
- Features a user-initiated load button for content display
- Easy to use syntax -
{iframe}URL{/iframe} - Ensures no data is transferred without the user's consent
Installation
Install 2 Click Iframes with the help of the Installer component as usual. Then configure and activate the plugin in System -> Plugins -> System - 2 Click Iframes - 2CI.
To activate the plugin in articles, use the {iframe}URL{/iframe} syntax in the content.
When specifying a syntax call with an iframe URL, you can include up to four additional options directly in the syntax. These options include a custom privacy hint, a title used for accessibility purposes, and the width and height of the iframe.
Examples how to use the plugin in the content component:
{iframe}URL{/iframe}
{iframe}URL|Custom privacy hint with HTML{/iframe}
{iframe}URL|Custom privacy hint with HTML|Title of the iframe content{/iframe}
{iframe}URL|||800|600{/iframe}
{iframe}URL||Title of the iframe content{/iframe}
