How to embed content from Facebook to Plone

Use collective.embedly package to easily embed content (photos and videos) from Facebook to your Plone 4 site.

Embedly service provides such URl patterns for adding content, so this can be any photo or video, stored on Facebook, that you might ad to Plone.

 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php*
 http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php*
 http://www.facebook.com/v/*

To embed facebook content to Plone:

1. Go to your site HTML Filtering panel (/@@filter-controlpanel) and remove object tag from the list of Nasty Tags and add it to the list of Custom Tags

2. Go to the object's edit form, select some text and choose Embedly link style for it

3. The text should now look like linked. TinyMCE makes the whole passage linked, so keep in mind that the whole passage will later be substituted with embedded media.

4. Select this text again and go to Insert link to insert the URL to the desired object on Facebook, e.g. ​http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=452214767286

In the same way let's add a link for some other paragraph to a video on Facebook, e.g. ​http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1598555857571

5. Save this page. Now when rendered, there will be "preview" from embed.ly service inserted instead of the linked text. The first one is a photo, the second one - is video from Facebook:
