DocumentCloud

DocumentCloud is a service that allows journalists to analyze, annotate and publish documents, hosted by Investigative Reporters & Editors. Initial development of this plugin supported by NPR as part of the StateImpact project.

This plugin allows you to embed DocumentCloud resources using either the raw URL on its own line:

Here's something you should really take a look at:

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/282753-lefler-thesis.html

Isn't that interesting?

Or a custom shortcode:

[documentcloud url="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/282753-lefler-thesis.html"]

When you save, WordPress fetches and stores the actual embed code HTML from the DocumentCloud servers using oEmbed. You can freely toggle between visual and HTML mode without mangling embed code, and your embed will always be up to date with the latest embed code.

By default, documents will have a responsive width (it will narrow and widen as necessary to fill available content area) and use the theme’s default height. If you want to override this, you can either set responsive="false" or explicitly set a width:

[documentcloud url="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/282753-lefler-thesis.html" width="600"]

You can set your own defaults in Settings > DocumentCloud, but default widths will be ignored unless responsive is disabled:

[documentcloud url="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/282753-lefler-thesis.html" responsive="false"]

To embed a single page, use any page-specific URL. Pages ignore width/height and always act responsively:

[documentcloud url="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/282753-lefler-thesis.html#document/p1"]

To embed a note, use any note-specific URL. Notes ignore width/height and always act responsively:

[documentcloud url="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/282753-lefler-thesis.html#document/p1/a53674"]

Here’s the full list of embed options you can pass via shortcode attributes; some are specific to the type of resource you’re embedding.

All resources:

• url (required, string): Full URL of the DocumentCloud resource.
• container (string): ID of element to insert the embed into; if excluded, embedder will create its own container.

Documents only:

• height (integer): Height (in pixels) of the embed.
• width (integer): Width (in pixels) of the embed. If used, will implicitly set responsive="false".
• responsive (boolean): Use responsive layout, which dynamically adjusts width to fill content area. Defaults true.
• responsive_offset (integer): Distance (in pixels) to vertically offset the viewer for some responsive embeds.
• page (integer): Page number to have the document scroll to by default.
• note (integer): ID of the note that the document should highlight by default.
• notes (boolean): Hide or show notes.
• search (boolean): Hide or show search form.
• sidebar (boolean): Hide or show sidebar.
• pdf (boolean): Hide or show link to download original PDF.
• text (boolean): Hide or show text tab.
• zoom (boolean): Hide or show zoom slider.
• format (string): Indicate to the theme that this is a wide asset by setting this to wide. Defaults normal.
