Jonnitto.PrettyEmbedVimeo

Prettier embeds for your Vimeo videos in Neos CMS - with nice options like high-res preview images, lightbox feature and advanced customization of embed options.

Installation

Most of the time, you have to make small adjustments to a package (e.g., configuration in Settings.yaml). Because of that, it is essential to add the corresponding package to the composer from your theme package. Mostly this is the site package located under Packages/Sites/. To install it correctly go to your theme package (e.g.Packages/Sites/Foo.Bar) and run following command:

composer require jonnitto/prettyembedvimeo --no-update

The --no-update command prevent the automatic update of the dependencies. After the package was added to your theme composer.json, go back to the root of the Neos installation and run composer update. Et voilà! Your desired package is now installed correctly.

PrettyEmbedCollection

This package is member of the PrettyEmbedCollection which contains following packages:

• PrettyEmbedVideo
• PrettyEmbedVimeo
• PrettyEmbedYoutube

If you install the PrettyEmbedCollection the video players get grouped into an own group in the node-inspector; otherwise, they will be in the default group.

FAQ

What are the differences from the PrettyEmbed series to Jonnitto.Plyr?

All packages from the PrettyEmbed series have the benefit of a better frontend performance since the player gets only loaded on request. So, no iframe/video gets loaded until the user wants to watch a video.

Customization

Configuration

Global settings for the whole PrettyEmbed series

Some settings will be set globally from the PrettyEmbedHelper package. These are the default settings:

Jonnitto:
  PrettyEmbedHelper:
    # For Vimeo and Youtube you can enable here the option the show a confirm dialog
    # that external content get loaded and the user may be tracked
    enableGdprMessage: false
    # This is the maximum width of a custom preview image
    maximumWidth: 1920
    # If this is set to a string, the element gets wrapped with a div and the class with the giving string.
    # If set to true, the element gets wrapped with a div without any class.
    # If set to false, the element get not wrapped at all
    wrapper: 'jonnitto-prettyembed-wrapper'
    # The buttons which get injected (file content) to the player.
    button:
      play: 'resource://Jonnitto.PrettyEmbedHelper/Public/Assets/PlayButton.svg'
      pause: 'resource://Jonnitto.PrettyEmbedHelper/Public/Assets/PauseButton.svg'

Disable inclusion of the CSS and/or JS files

The Javascript and CSS files get loaded via Carbon.IncludeAssets: carbon settings from helper

If you want to load your CSS you can disable only the Main.scss like that:

Carbon:
  IncludeAssets:
    Packages:
      'Jonnitto.PrettyEmbedHelper':
        General:
          Head: []

If you use SCCS in your build pipeline, you can adjust the look and feel of Main.scss with following variables:

// Buttons (play / pause)
$prettyembed-button-play-size: 72px !default;
$prettyembed-button-pause-size: round(
  $prettyembed-button-play-size / 2
) !default;
$prettyembed-button-pause-margin: round(
  $prettyembed-button-pause-size / 2
) !default;
$prettyembed-button-opacity: 0.9 !default;
$prettyembed-button-scale: 0.8 !default;
$prettyembed-button-scale-hover: 1 !default;
$prettyembed-button-scale-active: 0.9 !default;
$prettyembed-button-foreground-color: #fff !default;
$prettyembed-button-background-color: #000 !default;
$prettyembed-button-background-opactiy: 0.4 !default;

// Lightbox
$prettyembed-lightbox-include: true !default;
$prettyembed-lightbox-overlay-color: #0b0b0b !default;
$prettyembed-lightbox-overlay-opacity: 0.8 !default;
$prettyembed-lightbox-padding: 15px !default;
$prettyembed-lightbox-max-width: 900px !default;
$prettyembed-lightbox-shadow: 0 0 8px rgba(#000, 0.6) !default;
$prettyembed-lightbox-z-index: 5500 !default;
$prettyembed-lightbox-close-size: 30px !default;
$prettyembed-lightbox-close-opacity: 0.65 !default;
$prettyembed-lightbox-close-opacity-hover: 1 !default;
$prettyembed-lightbox-close-color: #fff !default;

Because all variables have the !default flag, the variables don't get overwritten if you declare them before you import Main.scss. Like that, most of the frequent adjustments can be easily achieved.

NodeTypes and Mixins

If you want to customize the default settings, take a look at the Settings.Jonnitto.yaml file. If no node property is giving, these default values will be taken. If you, for example, don't want to let the editor choose if the video should open in a lightbox you can deactivate the mixin in your Configuration folder like this:

'Jonnitto.PrettyEmbedVimeo:Content.Vimeo':
  superTypes:
    'Jonnitto.PrettyEmbedHelper:Mixin.Lightbox': false

These are the available mixins:

If you want to give the editor even more control, you can also add your own properties like color, or background, for example. For a full list, look at the defaults section in the Settings.Jonnitto.yaml file.

If you want to include the youtube video in your node type, you should use at least the mixin Jonnitto.PrettyEmbedVimeo:Mixin.VideoID. This add besides the videoID property also the properties for the metadata fetched from the oembed service. This mixin is also necessary to fetch/update the data from the service.

Fusion

If you want to use the player as a pure component, you can use the Jonnitto.PrettyEmbedVimeo:Component.Vimeo fusion prototype.

If you want to read the node properties and let the package handle all for you, you should use the Jonnitto.PrettyEmbedVimeo:Content.Vimeo prototype. For more comfortable including in your node types, you can disable the content element wrapping with contentElement = false. This is useful if you want to create, for example, a text with a video node type.

Get metadata

To get the metadata, you can run the flow command ./flow prettyembed:metadata. This command search for nodes with the VideoID mixin, and tries to get the metadata. If for some reason, it is not possible to fetch the metadata (Perhaps the video is set to private, or the ID does not exist), you will get a table with the name of the node type, the type, the video ID and the node path.
The task comes with two options:

• --workspace Workspace name, default is 'live'
• --remove Is set, all metadata will be removed

To get an overview of the options in the cli, you can run ./flow help prettyembed:metadata

Update from version 1

To update from version 1, you have to run following command in your cli:
./flow node:migrate --version 20190617204500

To check the current state of the migrations, you can run
./flow node:migrationstatus
