Iframe generator

This is a handy tool with which you can create iframe embed codes for the Brid player hosted on your own domain.

The main reasoning behind this is due to that advertisers need to have a clear view of the domain upon which the player is hosted for them to bid for your inventory. Our iframe generator creates such an iframe that is hosted on your domain so all advertisement analytics should be correct and come from your own domain instead of any other third party domain. This helps immensely with ad CPM and fill rate.

Follow the below guide on how to implement our iframe generator to create Facebook Instant Articles embed codes using the Brid player.

Download the iframe generator

To download the iframe generator please visit our git repo here
Click on the downloads link on the left hand menu (or clone the repo) to get access to the brid.php file.

Brid.php setup

Once you download the brid.php file from our git repo, copy it to your webserver and note the path to it.
For example: http://www.yourdomain.com/brid/brid.php
You need to take note of the direct path to this file as you will need it in the next step.

!! A minimum version of PHP 5.3.0 is needed for the generator to work.

Iframe setup

Now that you have everything setup you can generate your iframe embed code for use with Facebook Instant Articles.
Use the following template to create an iframe:

<iframe src="{PATH_TO_brid.php}?id=PLAYER_ID&video=VIDEO_ID&partner_id=PARTNER_ID" allowfullscreen width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" ></iframe>
ValueDescriptionType

idId of the player you are usingInt
videoId of the video you are usingInt
partner_idId of your site in BridInt
widthWidth of the playerInt
heightHeight of the playerInt

To get the ID of the player you plan on using log into Brid CMS and go into the edit screen of the player you want to use.
Note the URL in the browsers address bar.
Example:
! https://cms.brid.tv/players/edit/[PLAYER_ID]?partner_id=[PARTNER_ID]
The [PLAYER_ID] placeholder will show the ID of your player.


To get the ID of the video you plan on using log into Brid CMS and go into the edit screen of the video you want to use.
Note the URL in the browsers address bar.
