Description

Crowdsignal has a block-editor powered survey/project editor. Surveys created using this editor appear on *.crowdsignal.net when published.

This patch adds the oembed code necessary so a URL such as https://donncha.crowdsignal.net/yet-another-test can be pasted into the post editor and a survey will appear.

Testing:
Apply the patch and paste this link into a post.

Hello @donncha, thanks for proposing Crowdsignal as a new oEmbed provider.

But first, we have a set of questions to answer to make sure this addition is relevant :)
you'll find them here: https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/contribute/design-decisions/#adding-new-oembed-providers.

oEMbed providers must:

  • be well-established, popular, and mainstream services,
  • properly and fully implement the oEmbed specification,
  • clearly be a trusted provider.

Questions:

  • Is the service is popular enough for core developers to have heard of it before? Is it “mainstream?”
  • If similar services are already supported, how does this service compare in terms of size, features, and backing?
  • Does this service have a large following on Twitter, Facebook, or other social media?
  • Is its oEmbed endpoint clearly established and properly documented? (Sometimes, they are just a developer’s pet project that may not be supported.)
  • Does the oEmbed endpoint work with WordPress’ oEmbed auto-discovery? If not, could it be made to work with additional HTML tags or attributes being added to the allow-list?
  • Does the service make an effort to build relationships with developers, such as through robust APIs?
  • How old is the service?

Does it have a well-established Wikipedia article? (Seriously.)

  • Has anyone written a WordPress plugin that leverages the service in some way, whether adding it as an oEmbed provider, creating a shortcode, or leveraging other APIs of the service? Do these plugins have any noticeable adoption or traction that would indicate usage and demand?
  • Is the provider frequently proposed?

Thanks!

Oh. Sorry. Crowdsignal is already a trusted embed provider 🙈

@mamaduka @ntsekouras pinging you both as Core Editor Leads for WP 6.2.
Would it be reasonable to add support for this oEmbed endpoint in a pre 6.2 beta 1 Gutenberg release?

Asking just to know whether this ticket can be milestoned for 6.2 or not.
Thanks!

@audrasjb, I think it is doable.

Adding embed variation to the Block Editor shouldn't be a problem. Here's an example PR for Pinterest - https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/34895.

P.S. We might want to deprecate/remove Screencast from supported providers. See https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/46717.

Agree with @Mamaduka. crowdsignal already is in GB, so it should be an easy update in GB(regex here: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/trunk/packages/block-library/src/embed/variations.js#L170).

Embeds: Add oEmbed support for crowdsignal.net surveys.

Crowdsignal has a block-editor powered survey/project editor. Surveys created using this editor appear on *.crowdsignal.net when published. This changeset adds oEmbed support for these URLs to embed Crowdsignal surveys.

Props donncha, audrasjb, Mamaduka, ntsekouras.

@donncha @audrasjb Do we have a volunteer to write the Dev note?

#13 @audrasjb
10 months ago

@milana_cap I can write the Embed dev note :)

Do we have any tool to propose to work on dev notes and track the 6.2 devnotes?

#14 @milana_cap

The tracking tool is GitHub project. You can do it with whichever tool you feel comfortable with. I'd suggest GitHub comment as it treats code nicely and is very well copy/pasted into the block editor.

Whichever you choose, would be great to post it in a comment on this issue (either the link or the content itself). Thank you so much.
