XF 2.1 Vimeo Showcase Embed

[MediaSVI]

I need to be able to embed Vimeo Showcases in my forum and I can't seem to make it happen. I use the </> Code Insert and select HTML but it does not work.

Here is the code I am using, private is the numbers for the showcase that I did not post.

<div style='padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;'><iframe src='https://vimeo.com/showcase/private/embed' allowfullscreen frameborder='0' style='position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;'></iframe></div>

Can Vimeo Showcases be embedded in a forum post?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can't embed html directly in a post.

You will need to create a custom media bb code.

I have no idea how to do that? Vimeo gives me the embed code and from there I do not know what to do?

Can anyone help with this?

I do not understand? There is an insert so I select it.



This opens a selection window and I select HTML




I then paste the Vimeo Showcase embed code and save but it does not work?





The embed code works fine in Wordpress when posting in an HTML block. I do not understand why the INSERT in XenForo has a select to insert HTML and it does not work?

As previously informed, you cannot post html directly in posts.

You will need to create a new media bb code.

BB code | Manual | XenForo

Ok I guess I will have to get a developer to do this, it's odd that this has not been done yet, can't find any info on this here.

Where would you insert the bb code once you have it?

Had to pay someone to help me out. It works now.

Here is the custom BB code I use for embedding a Vimeo Showcase into a post, works great.


<div style='padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;'><iframe src='https://vimeo.com/showcase/{text}/embed' allowfullscreen frameborder='0' style='position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;'></iframe></div>


This is what you put in your post [Vimeo] insert Vimeo Showcase number here [/Vimeo]

example [Vimeo]1234567[/Vimeo]
