Better Core Video Embeds

This plugin provides page optimisations for pages and posts which have embedded Youtube, Vimeo or Daily Motion videos which have been added using the core embed block. Without this plugin, when using the core embed block, when your page loads, lots of external scripts and styles are loaded from the embed service, regardless of whether a visitor actually interacts with the embedded video. This plugin prevents these scripts and styles from loading until the user actually interacts with the video. It does this by replacing the video embed, on page load with the video thumbnail image (added on Youtube, Vimeo or Daily Motion). When a user clicks the thumbnail the embedded video, along with associated scripts and styles are loaded.

WP Github Gist

WP Github Gist WordPress Plugin, provides the ability to embed gist and files from Github in your blog posts or pages. Even though Github doesn’t provide a way to embed files, this Plugin still works by using the gist-it service. Features Embed Gist To embed a gist you have to use the following shortcode [gist id = "{GIST_ID}" file = "{GIST_FILE}" width = "{WIDTH}" height = "{HEIGHT}"] The following are the different attributes that you can use in the shortcode id – Id of your gist. file – File inside gist that you want to display. If there is only one file in the gist, then you can ignore this. width – Width of the code wrapper. Default is 100%. height – Height of the code wrapper. Default is 100%. eg: [gist id = "12345" file = "myfile" width = "100%" height = "100%"] Embed Github files To embed a github file you have to use the following shortcode [github file = "{GITHUB_FILE}" start_line = "{START_LINE}" end_line = "{END_LINE}"] {GITHUB_FILE} – full path to your github file. eg: If you want to embed https://github.com/sudar/MissileLauncher/blob/master/MissileLauncher.cpp then {GITHUB_FILE} would be /sudar/MissileLauncher/blob/master/MissileLauncher.cpp {START_LINE} – If you want to embed only part of the file, then you can specify the starting line number (optional) {END_LINE} – If you want to embed only part of the file, then you can specify the ending line number (optional) eg: [github file = "/sudar/MissileLauncher/blob/master/MissileLauncher.cpp"] if you want to embed only part of the file, then you can specify the start and end line as well [github file = "/sudar/MissileLauncher/blob/master/MissileLauncher.cpp" start_line = "10" end_line = "20"] Changing Gist-it server By default, this Plugin uses my own gist-it server which is hosted on a free Google App Engine account. If you expect significant amount of traffic to your blog, then do consider using your own gist-it server. You can follow the instructions to deploy your own gist-it server and then go to the settings page to change the url. Translation The pot file is available with the Plugin. If you are willing to do translation for the Plugin, use the pot file to create the .po files for your language and let me know. I will add it to the Plugin after giving credit to you. Support Support for the Plugin is available from the Plugin’s home page. If you have any questions or suggestions, do leave a comment there or contact me in twitter.
