XF 2.2 Embedding video from another source?

[HuskerGarrett]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how would one embed a video from a website that is not included by XF out of the box in their post?

It would require creating a new bb code media site entry.

 

[HuskerGarrett]

Thank you. Again, sorry, I am new to this. Would this just be done in the ACP?

 

[Paul B]

Yes, at admin.php?bb-code-media-sites/

The site you wish to add will need to provide embed code in a format that IDs can be used.

Have a look at one of the existing ones to see how it works.

Thank you!

Check out the S9e Media Sites addon:

s9e Media Sites

This add-on will: Add a carefully curated collection of the most useful and most requested media sites. A list of supported URLs can be found on this page. Improve the performance and efficiency of the default media sites. Pages will load as...

xenforo.com

It handles embeds from over 120 different video hosting, audio hosting, news and other services.

I apparently suck at this. It is an adult media site, does that matter? I saw it is not included on that addon unfortunately, and I can't get the custom bbcodes to work

Does the site provide an embed code/option?

You can post it here in a code block (masking the URL).

 

[HuskerGarrett]

Yes, it does. I thought I set it up correctly and it acts like it is trying to embed, but the post is just blank.

This is the websites share code

<iframe width="652" height="368" src="https://example.com/embed/a/b4k55jvq" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Your embed code is not correct.

Use this for the Match URLs:

share.***.com/embed/a/{$id}

Use this for the Embed template:

<div class="bbMediaWrapper">
    <div class="bbMediaWrapper-inner">
        <iframe src="https://share.***.com/embed/a/{$id}"
                width="652" height="368"
                frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe>
    </div>
</div>

Replace the *** as required.

 

[HuskerGarrett]

Thank you. I changed it to that, but when I post it still is just completely blank. Any ideas?

 

[Paul B]

It worked on my localhost test installation using the URL you posted originally.

 

[HuskerGarrett]

Weird. Here is where I just tried it, both by the "add media" tab, and by simply pasting the URL.
