A Kirby v4 custom block type to upload and embed videos

Kirby Video Embed Block

I was surprised to find that the default Kirby v4 video block doesn't support a way to upload and embed a video - so here it is.

Install

There's a couple ways to install this plugin (and you can read more in Kirby docs here)

1. Download

Download this repo, and place its contents in /site/plugins/kirby-video-embed-block

2. Git

If you version control your project, you can add this plugin as a git submodule

❯ git submodule add [email protected]:vyder/kirby-video-embed-block.git site/plugins/kirby-video-embed-block

3. Kirby CLI

❯ kirby plugin:install https://github.com/vyder/kirby-video-embed-block.git

Usage

To add the ability to use VideoEmbed blocks in your page, you need to update the blueprint as follows:

fields:
    text:
        type: blocks
        fieldsets:
            - code
            - gallery
            - heading
            - image
            - line
            - list
            - markdown
            - quote
            - table
            - text
            - video
            - video-embed

So here, the text field is set as blocks, and specifies all the blocks available.

I would love if this plugin could just extend the default list of blocks in some way - but it doesn't seem possible as of now.

If this gets outdated, you can find the default list of kirby blocks here.

Controls not working

In video-embed.php you need to fix line 9:

$controls = $block->showControls()->toBool() ? "controls" : "";

should be

$controls = $block->controls()->toBool() ? "controls" : "";

to get this option working :)
