It would be great to add the ability to insert video in pages. I did this using tinymce media plugin, but little uncomfortably.
@jeffreywyman commented on GitHub (Apr 4, 2017):
Would be cool. What is the best alternative currently? Embed, or just link to video?
@Shackelford-Arden commented on GitHub (May 23, 2017):
@jeffreywyman Embedding and linking are the two current options.
I add my voice to being able to simply insert a video. Would be interesting if you could provide an option to look "locally" on the server for media as well. Kind of similar to how you do it with images.
@SRv6d commented on GitHub (Dec 11, 2017):
How exactly do you embed video using the tinymce media plugin ? It seems like BookStack comes with that plugin by default, but I'm still not able to embed video.
@denniseilander commented on GitHub (Dec 12, 2017):
@Floppybobby I made it to turn on the default media plugin in TinyMCE by doing the following:
In
public > js > common.jsAdd the 'media' parameter to the
pluginsand thetoolbaroptionThen run:
npm run-script buildif you ar not watching alreadyOutput:

@ensemblebd commented on GitHub (Jan 4, 2018):
@dennis1502 solid working solution. Mucho gracias 👍
Modify: /resources/assets/js/pages/page-form.js (as described)
Then on root path:
npm install && npm run productionpublic/js/common.js receives new compressed output.
@henkedk commented on GitHub (Jan 23, 2018):
If you're not running with npm, or just feel like it, you can edit public/js/common.js directly and add 'media' to 'plugins' and 'toolbar' - works.
@fivestones commented on GitHub (Feb 15, 2018):
I'm running bookstack in docker. I edited public/js/common.js as described by @henkedk and @dennis1502 but I don't see any difference afterward. Do I need to restart bookstack somehow? (I did restart the docker container after editing but still didn't see any difference.)
Also, maybe I'm editing wrong. In common.js I see:
plugins:c,imagetools_toolbar:"imageoptions",toolbar:"undo redo | styleselect |and changed this to
plugins:media,c,imagetools_toolbar:"imageoptions",toolbar:"media undo redo | styleselect |Did I do this right? I'm not sure of the syntax since it's all minified.
Thanks!
@ensemblebd commented on GitHub (Feb 15, 2018):
in latest version
pluginsproperty was moved up in scope to a variable, you'll have to search forvar c="instead (may differ between minifications via gulp, your snippet labels it "c", as in:plugins:c,), it'll be a long string value containing the plugins.Toolbar you edited correctly though
Edit:
My hope, is that maintainers will move it up to an admin-area editable field via database or config .env var. That way we can edit these from the admin area via GUI.
I believe that may be in the works, since they moved the string to a js variable out of normal scoping.
If not, well I'm sure one of us if not myself will make a PR for it.
@Abijeet commented on GitHub (Mar 11, 2018):
@ssddanbrown - I'd like to take a crack at this. Do you think for now adding just the media plugin to TinyMCE is OK, or would you want a full fledged media library like we have for images? Maybe update the current image library to handle both?
@ssddanbrown commented on GitHub (Mar 12, 2018):
@Abijeet Okay, Thanks. Just the media plugin should be fine. I think a full-fledged media library may not be worth it for videos as most shared videos won't be in standard file format but a range of embedd-able iframes. A lot more variance compare to images.
