Embedding

[EchoThruMe]

Hey guys. I am trying to embed a code from a template that will host a giveaway I am running on my forum. When I go to the embed tool I do not get the image that is supposed to show. I only get the code boxed in. I was wondering if anyone knows how to do this better than I do. It is an html code and i selected html when embedding. A hand please. Thanks

What are you trying to embed? What code are you using?

I am using an html code from rafflecopter. simple html

If I understand correctly, you're trying to post code that looks like this:

<a id="rc-7a52bd0" class="rafl" href="http://www.rafflecopter.com">a Rafflecopter giveaway</a>
<script src="//d12vno17mo87cx.cloudfront.net/embed/rafl/cptr.js"></script>

Into a forum post?

Or are you trying to put it into a template? Or on a page?

There's no reason why it wouldn't work in a site template or on a static page. But if you want to put it into a forum post you have to remember that internet forums do not support HTML code as it is potentially a massive security risk.

That's why we have BB Code.

You want to make a Page. It will dipslay the HTML.
You access that from the Admin panel.

Thanks I will try. I was under the impression that I was able to insert html code into a forum post since there is an html insert option. I will try the page avenue.

The HTML insert option is for forums like this where you demonstrate a lot of HTML code. It doesn't actually parse HTML.

You might be interested in this.

This add on creates a new bbcode called [raffle]

If you generate the code and it looks like this:

<a id="rc-7a52bd0" class="rafl" href="http://www.rafflecopter.com">a Rafflecopter giveaway</a>
<script src="//d12vno17mo87cx.cloudfront.net/embed/rafl/cptr.js"></script>

See where it says id="rc-7a52bd0"?

Well rc-7a52bd- is the unique code for your raffle.

So, to display that code and the raffle properly in a forum post, install my add-on and type in your forum post:

[raffle]rc-7a52bd0[/raffle]

Just replace "rc-7a52bd0" with whatever your id is in the code you generate on their website

Hi, does this code still work?

 

[Chris D]

I have no idea. You will have to try it. I don't see why not.

Hi @Chris D Is it possible for you to update this add-on to reflect Rafflecopter's new code?

<a class="rcptr" href="http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/xxxxxxxx/" rel="nofollow" data-raflid="xxxxxxxxxx" data-theme="classic" data-template="" id="rcwidget_dyqgm6cj">a Rafflecopter giveaway</a>
<script src="https://widget-prime.rafflecopter.com/launch.js"></script>

The xxxxxxx is the id where you would have a specific raffle code listed.
