ASSOCIATION LACANIENNE INTERNATIONALE
Hi,
I'm trying to find my way around templates.
I would like to add podcast episodes from an external website that supports iFrame and generate its own iFrame player with a link.
In particular, I (the developer) would like Editors (not used to code) to be able to insert podcast by just filling in the ID, for instance

...src="https://player.podcastsite.com/index.html?podcastId=[podcast-id]&otherparam=blabla"...
with the ID 123456 would become
...src="https://player.podcastsite.com/index.html?podcastId=123456&otherparam=blabla"...

Is it possible for an Editor to insert such info into an iFrame/Template from the template user interface (see attached image)?

Regards,

Please try JCE Pro 2.9.23 Beta 4 - https://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/downloads/editor/pro/development Any variables set in content using the form {$variable} will be availalble in a dialog prompt for the user to add. So, in your instance, if the content was: 

...src="https://player.podcastsite.com/index.html?podcastId={$podcast-id}&otherparam=blabla";...
then the dialog would show a field with the label podcast-id for the user to enter in the id. In the example below I've used a variable of {$Podcast ID} so the label displayed is more user friendly. https://cdn.joomlacontenteditor.net/tmp/110823-user-parameters-in-iframe-templates.gif
