Photos, which appear to be automatically displayed as part of the set they're in.

Not sure if its Flickr, mysite or your code but the text is not aligned properly.

 

[JoshyPHP]

Did you put the text and the URL on the same line? If so, that's what's expected. If you want multiple images to appear next to each other you can put their URLs on the same line. The same thing with text. If you want them separated, you need to put them on the same line. That's how it works with all the embeds.

Support for Dropbox videos would be cool.

 

[JoshyPHP]

Joshy, I think you may need to remove the Sportsnet.ca option - their video links are exactly the same as regular links, so when I try to post a link to a story it converts it to a video.

I'd need an example of a link to a story that is incorrectly embedded as a video.

Support for Dropbox videos would be cool.

If you give me an example URL, I'll consider it.

 

[chickenputty]

If you give me an example URL, I'll consider it.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18218710/Example.mp4 Occurs when the file is in your public folder
https://www.dropbox.com/s/caz2o25sbxm6xdu/Example.mp4?dl=0 Occurs when the file is in another folder

This may be similar to willy2000's request. Not sure if the top link is possible to do since it doesn't have a player.

Dropbox doesn't seem to offer an easy way to embed their content. If you want to embed videos from Dropbox I think the best way would be to create a custom <video> BBCode and use the first link.

I'm getting a problem with Soundcloud embedding

`url` parameter is not a valid soundcloud url​

Any ideas?

 

[JoshyPHP]

What was the URL?

 

[Skeletor]

On the forum;

[media=soundcloud]soundcloud.com/continuum-2/continuum-live-at-tribe-of[/media]

https://soundcloud.com/continuum-2/continuum-live-at-tribe-of

 

[JoshyPHP]

That BBCode is incorrect. If I embed that URL in my board, what I get is this:

[MEDIA=soundcloud]https://soundcloud.com/continuum-2/continuum-live-at-tribe-of[/MEDIA]

 

[Skeletor]

I used another soundcloud plugin before i moved over to yours. Is there a way to fix it or must i go back to the old one?

 

[JoshyPHP]

You can try to fix the old embeds with the Post Content Find / Replace add-on. Install the add-on then go to the admin panel in Tools > Replace in Posts and run the updater with these settings:

        Quick Find: soundcloud
Regular expression: (\[MEDIA=soundcloud\](?=soundcloud))i
Replacement String: [MEDIA=soundcloud]https://

 

[Skeletor]

Excellent. I will try it. Thank you very much for the advice

Edit: It worked perfectly!

 

[Skeletor]

The BB code for BBC News does not work. I think they changed the way embedding works or disabled it completely. All the guides on the BBC are old.

 

[JoshyPHP]

Do you have an example of a URL that does not work? It seems to work fine on my local board.

 

[Skeletor]

I tried this one; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-30003674

 

[JoshyPHP]

The BBC simply does not allow this video to be embedded. Some videos they do (you can see the "embed" icon in their player) others they don't. This is one of the latter case.

 

[Skeletor]

doh! OK, thanks for clearing that up, I'll go back to my corner now
