Description

This is a WordPress plugin that acts as a bridge between our oEmbed endpoint and internal WP oEmbed service. It allows
simple oEmbed operation – just paste a link into (basically) any WordPress editor and it will automagically convert this
link into glomex player/playlist/integration.

Installation and operation

Operation simple as follows:

Install plugin into WordPress
Activate plugin
Follow instructions and configure the plugin
Forge a URL from template: https://exchange.glomex.com/[video|videos|playlist|playlists]/VIDEO_OR_PLAYLIST_ID (integrationId parameter is optional)
Go to your post and paste the url into any editor (editor must support oEmbed)
You get an embedded player inside content!

This plugin is intended for internal and external usage. There is no dependency on our infrastructure.

URL

The supported url scheme is https://exchange.glomex.com/[video|videos|playlist|playlists]/VIDEO_OR_PLAYLIST_ID

The placeholder variables are:
* VIDEO_OR_PLAYLIST_ID (mandatory) – the element id to embed
* [video|videos|playlist|playlists] (mandatory) – select one item to embed – it should exist in your account and be accessible with the given integration ID

Allowed parameters:

integrationId (optional) – allows overriding integration ID for this single embed
includeStructuredData (optional) – allows overriding structured data inclusion for this single embed

Plugin settings are used by default in all cases. Query strings will override the setting.

Configuration options

You can set up the default integration ID using the GLOMEX_INTEGRATION_ID environment variable.
