Ability to embed projects in Forums

braxbroscratcher

Who doesn't agree? All those topics on the show and tell forums would be greatly improved with an ‘Embed Project’ button.

Now, what I'm suggesting is a way to embed the project player in your forum post. This would allow others to play it and use cloud data (if they normally could) without visiting the project page.

Pretty simple, ask if you have a question.

Or maybe links to projects could have little down arrows like: Here is my project ▼. When you click the orange arrow then it places an iframe of the project just below it. I think it should also include the see inside button, with a smaller view of the editor (so on the help with scripts forum you can quikly check for simple errors).

Oh an the arrow would go on the line before the iframe (and ironically I don't think the iFrame should be inline (but regular frames are fading away so..)) should transform into a ▲

You could just link the project in the post and for example, if you were writing a review for it in the Show and Tell forum, you could just have 2 tabs open. I don't find opening a project in a new tab very difficult.

I think this is a good idea, because for people that don't know you can embed projects into the forums can just put a link and they'll be like “Oh, cool!”

But I agree with jokebookservice1.

But, that one is technically a duplicate, meaning that this one should be used instead.

This topic hasn't been active since November 2016, so the one above should be used.

It's not for who's is more active, it's the one who was created first.

Also I partly support this. This might be do-able. Quote the post with a link to a project. Then click the green checkmark. Click on the link. You will have a mini-Scratch that plays your project.

Total support! This would be very useful! This was marked as the duplicate to one of my suggestions suggesting the same thing.

Support. It should also be possible to embed a (read-only?) editor of the project.

A bump moves the forum thread to the top of the page, so more people can see it.
It's just a filler post; any post can bump a topic.
