Coming in JomSocial 4.2

Overview

Embedly is the most effective platform on the web to engage users through rich media embeds. It also provides you with actionable analytics, thoughtful related content, and proven results. It supports over 300 different content providers and now is fully integrated with JomSocial too.

Setup

Setting Embedly integration is really simple.

  • Register on the embed.ly website using existing and reachable email address and press Continue until you come to the Create a Project page
  • Give the name to your project and press Continue
  • If you want to invite someone to maintain the project with you, now you can invite them. We will click on the Skip this step for now link
  • Welvome to Embedly screen will show. Press Go
  • Click on the API then on Manage API Key. If you haven't verify the email yet, now you must.
  • Press the Copy API Key button
  • Go to your site backend and navigate to JomSocial -> Configuration -> Integration
  • Paste the API key in the field designated at the Embedly pane and switch the Enable Embed.ly toggle to Yes

Limitations

Embed.ly is a paid service, though you can also use it freely but some limitations apply.
In free version, there is a 5000 embeds limit as well as 15 http requests per second.
This means once you post five thousand cards in period of 30 days, you will not be able to use the free service anymore.
Also, if you have more than 15 embeds on single page, there are high chances not all of them will be rendered.
For the full list of pricing and limitations please visit the official embed.ly pricing page.
