I know this is probably something crazy to try to do but I’m trying to just json_encode an {embed}.

I’ve tried using native ee:

<?php echo json_encode('{embed="objects/_video" entry_id="1234"}') ?>

And hacking together a plugin to maybe enable the use of parse=“inward”:

{exp:phpstringfun function="json_encode" parse="inward"}{embed="objects/_video" entry_id="1234"}{/exp:phpstringfun}

I know this is a parse order issue because embeds are parsed so late in the game. Any ideas though?

see this http://gotolow.com/blog/snippets-and-preload-replace-variables

and try to use snippets and preload-replace Instead of embed

Hey FCWebTeam,

I am no json expert, so my help here would be limited, but I do agree with Ahmad. Check out the Snippets and Preload Replace Variables document and see if that helps.

Please let us know how this works out.

Cheers,
