XF 1.2 Imbedding Yahoo Finance charts/iframe

[Øyvind Orre]

I've tried making a BB-code for this while following different guides, but to no avail.

This is a sample chart i want embedded;

http://api.finance.yahoo.com/instru...=IRkmepku9zkDCxSJCYRvYUMcZtw-&t=1395040327895

Could anyone help me make this possible to embed in my posts on my forum? I'm willing to install addons if that is necessary.

I need an option to type in both the ID and the name of the ticker - in this case it's JASO, but this has to be customizable when I post the bb-code. Or I guess the {$id} could just start after /1.0/ ?

Also; I would like to have this chart embedded in every last post of certain threads on my forum. Is this doable on XenForo?

I hope this doesn't seem like spam, I try to wait a good while between bumps. A simple "this can't be done" would also be an appreciated answer.

It will be possible but you will need to create a custom BB code.
Which parts of the URL are configurable?
If there is more than one option you will probably need to do a PHP callback.

I tried making a custom BB code, as [media]{$id}[/media]

with http://api.finance.yahoo.com/instrument/1.0/{$id} as "Match Url" and

<iframe allowtransparency="true" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="http://api.finance.yahoo.com/instrument/1.0/{$id}" width="200px" height="603px"><a href="[a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=JASO/">Quote[/a] for JASO/</a></iframe>

as "Embed HTML"

I then posted

[media]JASO/badge;chart=1y;news=3;quote/HTML?AppID=G3C_6ydNtWKEZeO8EBbEpQumONr_qdR5Z0a62xglFy4hnlP0uw--&sig=IRkmepku9zkDCxSJCYRvYUMcZtw-&t=1395040327895[/media]

but got no results. I also tried changing the {$id} to be just after "AppID=", but that didn't do anything either.

Are you able to make this work?

Should I submit this as a support ticket instead of asking about it here?

 

[Paul B]

No, it's not a support issue.
Ticket support doesn't extent to customisations such as this.
