  • @phenomlab Do you need to be in the plugins folder to run that, or does it automatically install the plugin into the plugins folder?

    This is a nice embed plugin but…the size of the embed is very small. I used one in the past that was bigger but cannot remember which one 🙂

    @Sampo2910 @jac you just need to target the iframe itself (be aware that this will affect all other iframes, so you may want to be more specific if need be). Something like this will work - just play with the height and width values to get the desired result.

    iframe {
        height: 400px;
        width: 400px;
    }

    Is there a way that we can only be specific to this embed?

    @Sampo2910 yes, you could try

    iframe[src*="youtube"] {
        height: 400px;
        width: 400px;
    }
    

    This is of course an example that looks for “youtube” in the src string. You’d need to adapt it as necessary. The only other way possible here would be to assign a div ID to the container but that would require a change to the underlying plugin code.

    If you need to apply this to mobile only views, it’ll be to be

    @media (max-width: 767px) {
        iframe {
            height: 370px;
            width: 360px !important;
        }
    }

    @cagatay The most reliable way to upgrade Node.js on Ubuntu depends on how you originally installed it. Method 1: Using NVM (Recommended) If you already use Node Version Manager (NVM), upgrading is simple. NVM allows you to keep both versions and switch between them if needed. Install Node 22: nvm install 22 Switch to Node 22: nvm use 22 Set it as your default: nvm alias default 22 Verify the change: node -v Method 2: Using NodeSource (PPA) If you installed Node.js via apt using the NodeSource repository, you need to update the repository script to point to the new version. Remove the old NodeSource list (optional but cleaner): sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list Download and run the NodeSource setup script for Node 22: curl -fsSL [https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x](https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x) | sudo -E bash - Install/Upgrade Node.js: sudo apt-get install -y nodejs Verify the installation: node -v Method 3: Using the ‘n’ Package If you have npm installed, you can use the n interactive manager. Clear the npm cache: sudo npm cache clean -f Install the ‘n’ helper: sudo npm install -g n Install Node 22: sudo n 22 Update your shell: hash -r Troubleshooting Permission Denied: If you see permission errors using Method 2 or 3, ensure you are using sudo. Path Issues: If node -v still shows version 20 after upgrading via NVM, restart your terminal or run source ~/.bashrc. Conflicts: Avoid mixing these methods. If you switch from apt to nvm, it is best to sudo apt remove nodejs first to avoid path conflicts.

    @crazycells Agreed. It takes a more sensible approach. Nobody ever upvotes the first post - it’s usually much further down as the conversation progresses.

    @downpw I’m inclined to agree with this. There isn’t much else you can do, and provided it works with no odd looking artefacts in other browsers, then ok. The :before and :after are pseudo classes and very well supported across all browsers (except perhaps Internet Exploder, but who uses that these days ?)
