Mashups
Any Drupal4Ed Book page that takes advantage of the Page Extras Panel is a mashup of sorts, because your panel content is "mashed up" with your page content. A true mashup, however, contains content from more than 1 web page, often from more than one website. For example, if you embed a YouTube video, SlideShare slideshow or Google map into one of your web pages, you have created a mashup. Many websites today provide the exact code you need to drop into your html in order to place their content into your site. Drupal4Ed is the perfect place to take advantage of their cleverness and generosity!
Currently there are only two types of mashup page documented here, and both require that you enable "Full HTML". This is accomplished by expanding the Input format area of the Page Editor. This is located directly beneath the Body textfield.
Once you have selected the "Full HTML" radio button, you are free to paste in the embed code from a site such as YouTube, Google Video, SlideShare or SlideBoom. Place your own commentary above or below the embed code, or take advantage of the Page Extras panel.
In addition to embed code copied from a site such as YouTube, it is also possible to grab entire web pages and place them in your Book page. To include page content along with your own text or other media, select the "Full HTML" Input format, and then enter the following html:
<iframe src="pathtothepage" width="640" height="500"/>Replace pathtothepage with the full url of the page you want your students to read. Enter your own comments and notes either above or below the iframe, or place them in the Page Extras panel.
If you intend to use html from another site as the ONLY content in your page, simply leave the body field blank, and enter the url to the desired page into the "Learning Object" textfield located directly below the Body. More information about this option is located in the next page of this book.
