Plugin: Embed Allower 2

This plugin is a modification of “Embed Allower” by Hendy Irawan that allows for the embedding of objects in WordPress MU (WPMU) blog posts such as SlideShare slide shows, YouTube videos and more. The rationale for this plugin is outlined in this blog post.

WARNING: THIS CAN BE A SERIOUS SECURITY RISK IF YOU DO NOT TRUST YOUR AUTHORS!

In our case (for blogs.voxeo.com), we tightly control who can post to this site, so this security concern is not a major one for us. However, if you are operating a WPMU site where you let anyone sign up and create a new WPMU blog, I would very STRONGLY recommend you be extremely careful (as in “Don’t do it!”) with this as you can allow for the embedding of all sorts of content.

Code will be added here shortly
