Interactive Content (iframes)

Embedding Interactive Content in a News Article

Section titled “Embedding Interactive Content in a News Article”

EnaCast lets you embed interactive visualizations (charts, data maps…) inside the body of a news article, using the <iframe> code your provider offers.

  1. Open the article in the editor and place the cursor where the chart should appear.
  2. In the toolbar, click the Interactive Content button.
  3. Paste the provider’s code — or just the embed URL — into the Iframe code or URL field.
  4. Check the suggested height and click Insert Content.
  5. Save or publish the article as usual.

For example, a Flourish chart:

<iframe src="https://flo.uri.sh/visualisation/27495498/embed" style="width: 100%; height: 600px;"></iframe>

You can paste the whole block: EnaCast extracts the address and the height for you.

For security and privacy, only iframes from approved providers are displayed. Any other iframe is automatically removed when the article renders on the public site.

ProviderIframe domain
Flourishflo.uri.sh

As you type, the dialog tells you straight away whether the address is approved:

  • Green: the provider is approved and you can insert the content.
  • Amber: the provider is not approved. The insert button is disabled and a link appears to request approval by email, with the message already drafted for you.

Write to support@enacast.com with the domain and an example embed, and we’ll evaluate it. The requirement is always the same: we only approve verified providers that set no cookies on your visitors.

Approved iframes always render with extra browser protections: the embedded content cannot read or write cookies, never receives the address of the page embedding it, and only loads when the reader scrolls near it. Your site keeps working without a cookie banner.

The height in your pasted code (e.g. height: 600px) is respected, with a minimum of 200px and a maximum of 1200px. You can adjust it in the Height (px) field before inserting. The width always adapts to the article.
