embedding all the things
Ashton Bradley
There are a lot of embedding suggestions here. Some a lot of upvotes. As a user this is what I care about for future features as wiki.js works really well for everything else.
I would like to embed a twitter feed. I would like to embed a facebook feed. I would like to embed a youtube video. I would like to embed html widgets. I would like to embed a pdf. I would like to embed... a lot of things.

So, I like these ideas, but for the social ones, those are called Social Media Aggregators and are typically inanely expensive. While these are cute ideas, the main purpose of some of those is to act like a news media outlet rather than a wiki. These items can take up a lot of valuable development time.
What matters most is being able to embed one of the wiki's existing article formats into another article format (i.e. embedding an HTML frame into a WYSIWYG article). This would, in turn, give you the ability to use embed codes from the above-mentioned Social Media Aggregator sites.
tl;dr:
Skip this. Instead, add the ability to embed HTML into WYSIWYG, and make sure iframes work.

Should not be too much of effort no? We are moving soon to your this new wiki, and the feature is heavily missed.

Embed iframe into a page
sergeydgr8
Inserting media into a page gives mixed results. For example, pasting a share link for Google Maps does not work, and manually adding the iframe from Google Maps into the HTML code of the page does not render the said iframe.
This request addresses all iframe embeds; there are many use cases (Twitter feeds, page partials, calendar pages, PayPal/Stripe integrations, etc) and adding the ability to have an iframe with a set height/width would seem like a relatively simple addition.
As a workaround to lack of Google Maps embedding, I am adding a screenshot of the map and linking to Google Maps. This is not ideal however as this does not let the viewer work with the map inside of the page.
There are other requests from two years ago (https://requarks.canny.io/wiki/p/embedding-all-the-things and https://requarks.canny.io/wiki/p/embedding-html-widgets) that do not seem like they have gotten much traction. Please let us know if this can get prioritized.

Is this feature being considered? Already implemented? I tried reading the github PR linked by Peter, but I'm still unclear if embedding an iframe in my wiki is possible or not.

Duplicate off https://feedback.js.wiki/wiki/p/embedding-all-the-things ?
Adding just another one just adds to the confusion I think?

I want to second this. There are a lot of iframes I'd like to be able to embed into a page, and even using the HTML editor does not let me add the iframe into any page.

To embed the facebook comment system - exactly!
