kotti2-iframe 3.0.2

Kotti plugin for embedding external content via iframe

kotti2_iframe

This is an extension to Kotti2 that allows you to embed external web pages and online playgrounds using HTML iframes.

This package is only compatible with Kotti2 version 3.0.0 and later.

Use Cases

• Embed online code playgrounds (Repl.it, CodePen, JSFiddle, etc.)

• Embed documentation pages

• Embed interactive tools and applications

• Create language learning pages with live examples

Features

• Simple Integration: Add iframe content through Kotti’s admin interface

• Flexible Sizing: Configure width and height using CSS values

• Security Controls: Sandbox attributes for secure embedding

• External Links: Optional button to open content in new tab

• Embed-Only View: Minimal view for AJAX or custom integration

Installation

Install the package:

pip install kotti2_iframe

Then activate the configurator in your INI file:

kotti.configurators =
    kotti_iframe.kotti_configure

Configuration

No additional configuration is required. The IframeContent type will be automatically added to the list of addable content types.

Usage

1. In your Kotti site, navigate to the location where you want to add the iframe

2. Click “Add” and select “Iframe Content”

3. Fill in the required fields: - Title: The title of the iframe content - Iframe URL: The URL to embed - Width/Height: CSS dimensions (e.g., “100%”, “600px”) - External URL: Optional link to open in new tab

Example Playgrounds

Here are some popular playgrounds you can embed:

Repl.it (Python):

CodePen:

JSFiddle:

Google Colab:

Security Considerations

The iframe uses sandbox attributes to restrict what the embedded content can do. By default, the sandbox allows:

• Scripts execution (allow-scripts)

• Same-origin access (allow-same-origin)

• Form submission (allow-forms)

• Opening popups (allow-popups)

You can customize these restrictions in the add/edit form.

Development

Contributions to kotti2_iframe are highly welcome.
