JoshyPHP updated s9e Media Sites with a new update entry:

Fixed an issue in the lazy loader

Fixed a bug introduced in 2.12.6 that prevents embeds from loading if the theme does not have a sticky header. If you have installed 2.12.6 and one of your theme does not have a sticky header, you'll want to upgrade to this version.

Read the rest of this update entry...

@hqarrse Turns out it's entirely my fault. I accidentally introduced this bug a few days ago while reorganizing some code. The new version fixes it.

That's an incredible response time so many thanks. I've updated and it is working again.

Also made me aware that I've never made a donation for this fantastic add-on so sorry for that. Please keep up the good work

How do I use this? Added to our site, www.pnwreaderboard.com. Help please.

 

[JoshyPHP]

Are you familiar with XenForo's feature "BB code media sites"? For example, if you post a link to a YouTube video, it turns into a YouTube video right in the page rather than a text link. This add-on adds support for more media sites and improves some of its functionality.

What is the syntax to use this in a post?

I understand a theory, just trying to figure out how to use this/syntax/what to type in the post.

 

[JoshyPHP]

You just post the URL if the Auto-embed media links is enabled in the admin panel. You can find the option by searching for autoembed in the search box in the top right of the admin panel.

Otherwise, the post editor has a button that says "Media" which can be used. You paste a URL and if it's from a supported site, it's replaced with a specific BBCode which you can see in the editor if you like.

The fun begins - Moody's lowers the government rating from Stable to Negative.

On Friday, Moody's Investors Service revised its outlook on the United States government from stable to negative, citing increasing risks to the nation's fiscal strength. The ratings agency maintained the U.S.'s long-term issuer and senior unsecured ratings at Aaa. Moody's expressed concern...

Okay, I got it finally.

 

[STAMINA]

In order for this to work, the linked media here, https://www.pnwreaderboard.com/thre...-government-rating-from-stable-to-negative.4/ has to be a video, not just a website link. Thank you for explaining.

 

[JoshyPHP]

Yes, only some URLs can be embedded. Mostly videos, links to songs, podcasts, social posts, that kind of things. You can find examples of URLs supported by this add-on on this page: https://s9etextformatter.readthedocs.io/Plugins/MediaEmbed/Sites/

Otherwise, look up unfurl in your admin panel. It's a form of link preview that XenForo provides as a default feature.

Question to users.
Has anyone installed version 2.12.x on a forum with php 7.x?
Thank you.

 

[JoshyPHP]

The last version known to work on PHP 7 is 2.10.5. After that, I bumped the requirements. Versions 2.12.0 onward are guaranteed not to work on PHP 7 without modifying the PHP files.

I understand this.
I want to find like-minded individuals for converting files to make them compatible with PHP 7.x.

Hi @JoshyPHP

Since the last upgrade Amazon links to products no longer work and instead what you see is a logo to Amazon which links to the Amazon homepage not the product.

The link also uses the same browser tab, it doesn't open up a new tab like previously

One such example to a product shows the following BB code..

which links to https://www.amazon.co.uk/?tag=mytagremoved&linkCode=w0f

 

[JoshyPHP]

Some Amazon products fail sometimes, I don't know why. If you send me a link to your forums that demonstrates that issue, I'll look into it. You posted the BBCode as an image so I'm unable to copy/paste it and try it locally.

Thanks Josh, the weird thing is it is now working presently

Post #1...

Drill / Driver bit sets

Looking for something quite comprehensive and decent quality, don't want to buy cheap and buy twice with this nasty looking stuff from Amazon: Anything similar about from a more reputable name / quality with a decent amount of bits? I'd consider trade level stuff but it's for occasional DIY...

[JoshyPHP]

Yeah... some products do that sometimes. My best guess is that it's related to a product being discontinued, but it may persist after the product becomes available again, too. I don't know what really causes it and I don't think I can do anything about it, sorry.

In my board, I have posted this link:

[MEDIA=amazon]id=B0B3MV3GGY;tld=de[/MEDIA]

I can see the correct product, others only a generic amazon logo.

Another user posted this one:

[MEDIA=amazon]id=B0C248G2S8;tld=de[/MEDIA]

All of us - including me - only sees the amazon logo

 

[JoshyPHP]

Yeah, they do that about half the time on my computer if I keep reloading the page. No idea why some products randomly fail like this.
