Forums Help & Support Posting youtube videos?

Voltie Posted 6 years ago ( 2018/05/30 18:46:09 )
I've been trying to post a youtube video in a thread, and whatever I do, the youtube tag isn't working.

Is the tag simple not working working, or am I doing something horrifically wrong, and not realizing it? Help! :vanora_cry:

@onsenmark: I'm positive we don't have a video code for forums. You can only add a youtube video on your profile.
Maybe our dev
@vii: has some input or more knowledge than me though.

Fozzy is correct, we currently do not have a YouTube or Media BBCode for the forums. However, that, and other BBCodes, should be relatively easy to implement once I've gotten some other things out of the way. c;

@onsenmark: Good news! I've added a YouTube bbcode to embed videos! 8D

Obviously without the stars.

@Vii: it's doing something, but it's also giving me an error. I must be doing something wrong.

@onsenmark: Are you copying the "embed" link from the "embed" code? It's worked multiple times for me with no errors but I still could have messed something up.

@Vii: Let me try... I know posting just the URL leaves a blank space where a video should be...

...aaaaaaaand no. Posting the embed code leaves a "Not Acceptable!" message. :vanora_huff:

Since I just got it to work you need use the url found in the embed code. It looks like this: https://www.youtube.com/embed/cxYRK_WRutU

@onsenmark: Not the full embed code, just the link where is says src="" within the embed code.

@onsenmark: Success! Glad it's working! ^-^ It should scale on mobile as well.

Since this issue has been dealt with, I'm going to lock the thread ~
