archive.org item embed

possible addition to template or CSV recipes. Seems like good object hosting option to build in for community projects.

I'm also interested in this. I have a project that's going to be way too large to host on any server I have access to, so I've moved all the objects to internet archive. I'd like to be able to embed them on a collection builder page using the archive.org reader.

@ers6 we haven't built it into the template yet, but it is relatively simple to add in and works really well. For example, I used it in beowulf-s like this embedded reader. It is easiest to implement in collectionbuilder-csv (rather than cb-gh).

Basically, set up your metadata with the full link to the item on archive.org in your "filename" or "object_location" field, then add a custom layout that parses that url to add the reader embed. Feel free to get in touch on email and I can help you set it up.

Embed is working well, but why does the full-screen icon not appear? Bottom of this page: https://rubinweb.wpenginepowered.com/publications/patron-and-painter-situ-panchen-and-the-revival-of-the-encampment-style/

@kkeramidasrubin not sure why the full-screen option doesn't show up--nothing to do with the embed code, that is just how archive.org serves it in the iframe. In our collections I have added a "Fullscreen Viewer" link because of that issue, for example, https://www.lib.uidaho.edu/digital/gem/items/uidaho_gem_2002.html

an Internet Archive embed is now added to the item includes ("_includes/item/ia-embed.html") which can be used in custom item layouts. Right now there is not a IA display template--leaving this open for now to see if we want to add one.
