Embeding External assets in RRC

Hi All,

Is there anyway to embed an external page into an RRC asset so that the external asset (webpage, video, etc.) is visible from within RRC?

I am specifically trying to embed an iRise UI Simulation into RRC, here is the embed code that is provided via iRise:

<iframe id='embedFrame' src='http://SERVER:8080/iRise/reader/render?_project_key_=40bd529bd4364b9ba6aaf9bd8a099b52&_target_key_=6bf3d59698f74d398bdcd80645b42c2d&inDocumentView=SIMULATION&windowReference=__window__0&_toolBarState=showToolbars&_embedMode=true' height='600px' width='1000px'></iframe><br><a href='http://SERVER:8080/iRise/reader/render?_project_key_=40bd529bd4364b9ba6aaf9bd8a099b52&_target_key_=6bf3d59698f74d398bdcd80645b42c2d&inDocumentView=SIMULATION&windowReference=__window__0&_toolBarState=showToolbars&_embedMode=true' target='_blank'>View full screen</a>


Another example would be the ability to embed a Youtube video:

<iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0zzicwf5m00" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks!
Saurabh

Hello Saurabh,

We currently only support embedding RRC artifacts in RRC artifacts. You can link to the external artifact, but it will not be rendered inside the document.

In RRC you can create a "proxy" or "pointer" document in RRC that includes a link to the iRise simulation in the iRise repository. Since you would need to authenticate to the iRise repository in the example you give, the additional "cost" of my suggestion is one extra link traversal by the user. Selecting a link and "open in new tab" would be the best user experience.

You can give the proxy document an artifact type, attributes, and you can comment on it in RRC.


That said, you are welcome to open a RRC enhancement request asking for the ability to specify an iframe. Alternatively, you could ask iRise to update their iRise Connect gateway to support RRC V3.

I created a new work item for this enhancement request. You can see it here:
