How to embed reddit videos into Pages article

[pilotguy]

Hey everyone,

I am trying to embed a reddit video into an article done in Pages.  I can't seem to get this to work what-so-ever.  Anyone have ideas on how to get this to work?  I've tried all of the different EMBED codes that reddit supplies with no luck.

You have to enable html in your acp for your usergroup and add the embed code into the source editor. I just tried this one and it works fine:

<blockquote class="reddit-card" data-card-created="1540570325"><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/youseeingthisfaeces/comments/6mmd5y/how_is_it_spinning_that_fast/?ref=share&ref_source=embed">How is it spinning that fast!?!?</a> from <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/youseeingthisfaeces">r/youseeingthisfaeces</a></blockquote>
<script async src="//embed.redditmedia.com/widgets/platform.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>

Hmm - I have HTML enabled for posting..  This is the result - It's just blank.

 

Code:

<blockquote class="reddit-card" data-card-created="1540570930"><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/9oih2d/guy_dominates_a_2_on_1_fight/">Guy dominates a 2 on 1 fight</a> from <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout">r/PublicFreakout</a></blockquote>
<script async src="//embed.redditmedia.com/widgets/platform.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>

Curious, it works fine on my article page. Maybe an issue with the javascript on your site? Or a conflict with a plugin.

[pilotguy]

Ok - I bet you it boils down to out-of-date applications or plugins... usually the case.

time to troubleshoot some more

 

Weird - It actually shows up briefly and then turns into a blank screen... wtf.

According to IPS support Reddit is refusing the connection??

So I wanted to return here and share the resolution to this issue (it was indeed an issue)

 

The solution was straight forward but not obvious - For GUESTS or other member profiles, the permission DOWNLOAD ATTACHMENTS must be enabled - This is according to IPS technical support.  Also, if it still doesn't work, you may need to be logged into REDDIT for it to function correctly.

Both makes no sense, embedding something into posts hasn't to do anything with attachments. If yes, this should be valid on embedded youtube videos too. I am not registered on reddit and I could embed and watch the videos.

Just passing along the OFFICIAL word

Sure, if it works now on your site it's fine.

I believe I answered your ticket about this?

I was hoping you would follow up on the ticket to let me know if that made a difference, since I was not 100% sure that setting would be the solution. 🙂

(You mentioned it would not display to Guests on your site, but would display if logged in to your site.)

Was that permission disabled for Guests? And if so, did enabling it then allow the video to display to Guests?
