Bluesky embed

@TheoSqua i think you mentioned on the old domain you might be able to do this after the update. Did you get a chance to try it?

Theo is traveling right now but this is on the agenda to get done.

Nice

Not yet, dealing with some personal stuff that has wrecked my plans. Hopefully I can look into this in the next week or two. I'm really hoping that July is an easy month.

It's gonna take mroe work to get this working. The extension it needs to pass in the YAML required phpbb 3.3.2 and we are currently on 3.3.0.

I tried reverse engineering it (see above post) but there is something in the XML parser that i'm missing to get the phpbb emulator to render the JSON from the bluesky app. If I could find another site using the plugin I could probably steal their code, but I haven't figured it out yet.

I tried downloading the source plugin used here https://github.com/s9e/phpbb-ext-mediae ... me-ov-file and the whole forum crashed.

So this will be a bit more work to accomplish than I had hoped.

ok so i upgraded the forum to 3.3.15 to get this working and apparently 3.3.15 broke bluesky specifically: https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/exte ... pic/250843

And downgrading the forum is extremely difficult. So i think we'll need to wait for a 3.3.15 fix before we can install this. Or i'll need to find another way to generate the phpbb.

The problem is that bluesky doesn't support iframed/scripted embeds, they have a tool that passes in a JSON object and the host site has to render. I don't have an easy way to do that on phpbb - so we need to use a rendering solution like what you linked to and that has a bunch of dependencies that I don't control.

Oh for sure man, I totally get this. Yep. Checks out.

Thanks for trying Theo. Appreciate it. I'll check on it once in a while to see if there's an update.

@TheoSqua I saw some chatter on this thread which came after your latest attempt. Wondered if it would help.

The person most recently chiming in is on 3.3.15 and it seems like they got it working.
