I am making an e-learning platform and have a Course resource so I can add courses dynamically. I am now at the stage where I need to upload videos to each course, and I have decided to use wistia for this.
What I'm not sure about exactly is how can I Embed the videos that belong to each course directly through the Course form? I couldn't find documentation as to how to achieve this, so any help would be highly appreciated.
Example:-
I have this embed code from wistia:
<iframe src="//fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/tk6picrt4k" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" class="wistia_embed" name="wistia_embed" allowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen width="640" height="388"></iframe>
<script src="//fast.wistia.net/assets/external/E-v1.js" async></script>
Once I make a :video_url table in the database, how do I then make the above code work as intended if I paste it in a form box in the Create Course action and submit the form? and What data type should :video_url be?
Courses Controller:-
class CoursesController < ApplicationController
before_action :set_course, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
before_action :set_grade
respond_to :html
def index
@grades = Grade.all
@courses = Course.where grade: params[:grade_id]
respond_with(@course)
end
def show
respond_with(@course)
end
def new
@grade = Grade.find(params[:grade_id])
@course = @grade.courses.new
respond_with(@course)
end
def edit
end
def create
@grade = Grade.find(params[:grade_id])
@course = @grade.courses.build(course_params)
if @course.save
redirect_to grade_courses_path(@grade, @courses), notice: 'Successfully Created Course'
else
render action: 'new'
end
end
def update
@course.update(course_params)
redirect_to grade_courses_path(@grade, @courses), :notice => "Successfully Updated Course"
end
def destroy
@course.destroy
redirect_to grade_courses_path(@grade, @courses), :notice => "Successfully Deleted Course"
end
private
# Use callbacks to share common setup or constraints between actions.
def set_course
@course = Course.find(params[:id])
end
def set_grade
@grade = Grade.find(params[:grade_id])
end
# Never trust parameters from the scary internet, only allow the white list through.
def course_params
params.require(:course).permit(:title, :period, :description, :semester, :grade, :subject, :grade_id, :chapters_from, :chapters_to, :instructor, :price)
end
end
_form.html.erb

<% if @course.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
