Share via Liiive

Support Forum

Hello, very cool and useful app you have created!

It would be great if one coud add Liiive share button to IIIF viewer so you could share your image via one click without copy/pasteing the manifest. I guess it would require just accepting the parameter for manifest from URL. For example:

https://liiive.now/?share=https://your.iiiif.manifest

Quick mockup with our project’s website:

All the best

    Hi, thanks for the positive feedback–I appreciate it!

    About your request: in fact that’s already possible :-) I just haven’t had the time yet to properly document it. It’s almost exactly like in your example. Only difference is that the parameter is named differently:

    https://liiive.now/?iiif-content={your manifest URL}

    Important: this link will create a new room every time someone clicks it. Therefore, if two different people click that link, they would each end up in their own rooms, alone.

    I was also thinking about adding another option in the future, where you could set a defined destination room. This way, you could send everyone who clicks that link into the same room. The link would probably look something like this:

    https://liiive.now/?iiif-content={your manifest URL}&seed={random-string-you-choose}

    As long as the seed remains the same, the link would lead to the same room URL. (Possibly regenerating a new room with the same ID in case the old one has expired.) But that’s not yet available as a feature.
