Commonplace Embed

Commonplace Embed is a new feature that enables you to embed individual tiles onto your own website, creating a seamless experience.

Why use Commonplace Embed

It gives your visitors a seamless experience as they do not have to leave the your website. It provides an easy user journey focused on contributions. And it works for map and proposal surveys.

How does it work

Commonplace Embed works like an Iframe but focuses on the contributions flow only, by removing the ability for users to navigate out to other pages of the projects. This allows you to have individual surveys on your own websites.

Accessing the functionality is very easy:

  • create your map or proposal tile as you normally do on Commonplace

  • add ?embed=true at the end of the proposal or map URL

For example. The standard URL for a proposal tile might be: https://yourproject.commonplace.is/proposals/user-test/step1

To be able to add it as an Iframe add ?embed=true to the end: https://yourproject.commonplace.is/proposals/user-test/step1?embed=true

and it will activate the functionality. You can use the new URL in an iframe on your own websites. Here is some example code you can use:

<p>

<iframe src="https://yourproject.commonplace.is/proposals/user-test/step1?embed=true" width="100%" height="1000px">

</iframe>

</p>

 

Adding ?embed=true at the end of the URL removes all ways for visitors to navigate out of the proposals (preventing them to go to the hub page or to other pages on Commonplace). This allows you to have access to the full Commonplace functionalities whilst keeping the experience on your website.

Here is what the ?embed=true actually does:

  • Removes the top nav bar to prevent users to navigate back to the hub page

     

  • Removed the back button on the 1st step of a multiple step proposal

  • Removed the “View more proposals” component

 

Please note the following limitations for Commonplace Embed:

  • Commonplace embed does not currently support multilingual commonplaces

  • Due to the current way users confirm their contributions, the thanks page will be accesses outside of the customers website - this will change when we implement 6 digit code confirmation
