I wanted to make a webpage with three columns, one for my youtube feed, one for reddit, and one for a meme site undecided. I assumed this would be very simple using iframes, oh ho so wrong. I had no idea about the security google, facebook, reddit and others had taken to stop people from using iframes for their sites. Seeing no easy way to circumvent this issue I hope that the good people at stack overflow might have some knowledge of how I can do this.
Note, i also tried rss feeds. Found this very messy but if someone knows of a good way to do it please let me know
You could use their API'S and convert the answer to your API reuqest to JSON so you can parse that as a video. That way you won't have to use iFrames. I hope this helps.

It seems impossible to search this, so I'm asking this here. I'm currently making a web application, and I want to be able to let users embed from my website. How would I do this? Whenever I try to search for resources regarding this, results tend to speak about embedding from OTHER websites, when I'm trying to find a tutorial where users can embed from MY website. I'm trying to create a pomodoro timer that people can embed in their own websites, much like you can embed a YouTube video into your own HTML page. However, I have not been able to find resources regarding this.
Edit: Question was a little too broad, appreciate the input from everyone else on how to specify it. I wrote the question a little out of frustration, my bad.
There are several ways to accomplish this. One way is to use IFRAME (youtube allows this for example) or you create a javascript snippet, that will make calls against your webserver or the API and render the data. You could event "inject" a new tag (Webcomponent-Style).
The best answer would be to take a look how others (Twitter, Youtube, Reddit) let you embed their stuff and from there on to choose what your fitting solution would be.
Your question is a bit broad and in any way specific. Please feel open to have a look at the StackOverflow Guidelines.
I am currently creating a basic website for a small sports-association. It is simply used to display some basic information about training times, becoming a member, locations, history, etc...
However, we would also like the option to add news and upcoming special events. I am making the website in HTML, but this is much too complex for the other volunteers. I was wondering if I could embed some service into the website where they can easily add some small news articles without diving into html.
I myself was first thinking of using some simple blog-service (like notion.so, blogger.com) and embedding this using an IFrame. However, most websites have a protection against being used as a frame.
I would like at some point that they do not rely on me for basic updates. Is there a way to implement this option? Or should we fall back on something like google sites?
It really depends on the company. I suggest asking them if they would like to add content first, and if they say no, I think thats copyright.
I suggest not using google sites because the viewers of the website can always scroll dow and find out this is through Google Sites. In my opinion that doesn't seem as professional.
My answer is to teach them the basics. It isn't that hard to teach them that the text goes inside and a header is through
I now found out it is possible to embed a blogger.com page in an iFrame, so this is a solution for now.
I am wondering how one would go about using a permalink from another website to extract data about that particular permalink, especially in the case of looking for specific information. Kind of how youtube has websites that essentially use the link to the video to download and convert it to mp3 format. Its for a college project in HTML5, but upon researching the subject (for about a week) I didnt come up with alot of information on how to go about it using html. Any help in advance will be appreciated. Just basic structure is necessary. im not good or anything, I just want to actually learn, so i need some directional pointing that way i get on the right track.
Thanks in advance :)
Oh and to be more direct, I mean in such a way as to list certain products at the price they are being listed on the site they are being listed on. However, from within my own site. (all in html...)Figured I should be more direct.
Those websites that extract audio from Youtube probably doing it using Python or something similar
This might help you.
I've been able to embed my latest 10 Tumblr posts into a website, but it doesn't include all of the functionality (comments, re-blogs, shares, etc.) of Tumblr. I'm really looking to do that, but I can't find an answer on this anywhere.
I know a lot of programming languages, so I'll take a solution in any language. The website IS a built-from-scratch website, so a Wordpress plugin won't help.
EDIT: Just to confirm (based on comments/questions below), we've followed the API documentation. We've got plenty of APIs working, but this one doesn't. We've tried gems, a Javascript version, the API with oauth and tokens, and more attempts than I can recall.
It's easy to do in Wordpress, and if we were doing it as a subdomain of a site, that would be possible. But the client (pro-bono) wants it embedded on a page that does lots of other things. Maybe there's a Javascript library we don't know about? Some other secret means of doing it? But the API (at least with available documentation) isn't working. Heck, even if you could direct us to a site where someone is using Tumblr embedded on a non-Wordpress/Tumblr website, that would be helpful. We could inspect the code.
We've got Twitter, Google Maps, and plenty of other APIs working. I swear we aren't idiots, and the answer to this isn't as easy as it appears.
THANKS!
If you want a clear example on how to use the JSON, check this link, it helped me tons:

As I was working on this project for a friend of mine who is terrified of changing from HTML to flash, I realized that maybe there could be a bridge between them. So I started working on a flash project that would grab the HTML from his page and parse it to display it in flash. Although I am sure there are resources available for this already, I figured that the experts on SO might be willing to suffer through the logic of one user trying to develop this script.
So basically, I am not asking for an answer, I am asking for some step-by-step direction that could be posted so other people could see the logic behind breaking down this project. I think it would be really useful (not just for me, but for anyone wanting to learn more about objects and oop).
So, much like the thread between primarily Senocular and Rampage, this would be a thread where I would be the student asking the questions in a logical step-by-step manner and someone else (or someones else) could provide guidance.
Let me know if you are interested and I can start by posting what I have already written. We can go from there and I am sure it will prove insightful to anyone who reads it. If no one is interested, or no one has the time or inclination, no problem.
Best wishes,
Jase
Who in their right mind would change from html to flash for displaying a simple website? I don't see the logic behind it, it's more like you are trying too hard. Flash has its function in the web, as well as html does. If it's just for simple displaying, using flash is just the wrong way and won't make your website any better but worse because its loading time will be too long.
Goole Search retrieved these:
HTMLWrapper
Groe.org HTMLParser
There is an article about the 1st on *drawlogic. I think the seconds' home is on sourceforge here.
Thing is, browsers already do a fine job at parsing html code. Having the flash player parse html files not only does away with any accessibility advantage your markup can offer but it also feels like reinventing the wheel. If you need to display html content, leave it to the browser.
Slightly offtopic - Flashpaper can convert most HTML pages into swf format.
Given properly "disciplined" HTML, you can use the XML parser in the player for the basic parsing. Are you really talking about writing an HTML renderer in Flash though? Or just being able to pull information from HTML dynamically?
