SmartBlocks Iframe selector - choose iframe/Iframly, open in sidebar v1.3

📌 Import the JSON file below in your graph to be sure to preserve the code structure

📋 Description:

Demo video: https://youtu.be/ZqwE4hhpbVM

Open an iframe embed of an URL in child block (and optionally in sidebar), allowing to choose beetwen different Iframely views or iframe Roam vanilla (see video above for examples):

extract URL from current block (it can be simple link, or an alias, there can be some text around: the last URL is used),
open a dialog box to choose the appropriate view (desappear after 5" if not focused: auto-confirm)
create a child block with {{iframe: URL}} or {{iframely: URL}}, add eventually two other child blocks for iframely settings (view/summary, etc.)
open sidebar with this new iframe block if checkbox is checked
add an alias with iframe block-ref for quick overview or futur opening (with shift+click).
add tag for default css of iframe block (can be disabled).

Default view is iframely default, as defined is [[roam/js/iframely]] settings. Other settings are available in the code block of the SmartBlock: force opening in sidebar, default string for the alias, default view, default css added to the iframe block.

v.1.3 May 23, 2021 New feature:

support Iframely extension (see below in Prerequisites)
dialog box allowing to select appropriate view

v1.1 March 27th 2021 Fixes:

works with multiples urls in the block: open always last one
works with collapsed children blocks (expand then add on top)
unfocus at the end of the command (to avoid mishandling) New feature:
add optionally #[[.iframe]] for formating (like reduce margin)

You can enable the following css (included in the JSON file):
- for resizing iframe to max width rather than 720px normal limit

/* Override image, iframe, pdf resize */
div[style*="width: 580px;"],
div[style*="width: 720px;"] {
  width: 100% !important;
}
div[style*="height: 720px;"] {
  height: 85vh !important;
}

 - for reduced margin an no bullet, with #[[.iframe]] (adapt it to you theme)

#roam-right-sidebar-content .iframe .rm-block-main {
  margin-left: -30px !important;
  margin-right: -15px !important;
}
#roam-right-sidebar-content .iframe .rm-bullet  {
  visibility: hidden;
} 
#roam-right-sidebar-content .iframe .rm-block__ref-count {
  display: none;
}

Thank you (merci) Fabrice. This looks very useful. When I run it, I get the iframe but it doesn't open in the sidebar.

This is what I get in the sidebar: '--> Variable iframeRef not SET <--'

Mar 22 '21 02:03 kmaustral

Hi @kmaustral , make sure that the two smartblock commands beetwen the two blocks of javascript are on their own line:

<%CURRENTBLOCKREF:iframeRef%>
<%SIDEBARWINDOWOPEN:<%GET:iframeRef%>%> (I will change the code screenshot for a better overview of the different bullets)

If it doesn't work, add perhaps some sleep time at the end of first javascript block.

Mar 22 '21 08:03 fbgallet

I have added a link to the JSON file for better support of the code structure.

Mar 22 '21 08:03 fbgallet

Thanks. It works fine now. It seems like Roam is becoming more and more like a browser.
