Shortcodes

The plugin supports the following shortcodes:

ebmed shortcode:

• guid - GUID of an entity to embed

button shortcode:

• text - call to action
• type - One of the following types action, submit, delete, cancel (these values only affect styling and do not carry any functional value)
• url - URL to link to
• target - Default self, blank or lightbox

Examples:

[embed guid="555"]
[button type="action" text="Read Terms" url="/terms" target="lightbox"]

Unlisted shortcode attributes will be parsed and passed to the view after sanitization, so extending plugins can add additional options.

By default, only shortcodes passed to output/longtext view will be expanded automatically.

Static assets

If you are using the same images across multiple posts, you may way to use static assets, as they allow you to take advantage of simplecache, thus offering better performance than file entities.

Create a folder in your dataroot /embed/ and place your image files in there, flush the caches, and you will see your images in the Assets tab of the embed lightbox window.
