Ahhhh the HTML code is the key to embedding!

Title: Re: Embed Video In Your Posts
Post by: ezman604 on July 19, 2017, 10:38:19 PM
Yep!!!
:)

On youtube, click on Share. Then select Embed. Copy the URL for the embed. Then in your post, type [ html], paste your copied URL, then type [/ html]. Good to go....

Some forums have a red square "youtube" button along with with the Mona Lisa [img] and the WWW link [url] buttons.
Might be worth looking into here. ::)

Title: Re: Embed Video In Your Posts
Post by: ezman604 on July 19, 2017, 11:28:03 PM
Randy, when you typed the [ html] [/ html] you have to remove the extra spaces to make it work.
:)

Scott, add the set of html brackets like above, remove the extra space in each and paste your embed URL between them.
:)
Title: Re: Embed Video In Your Posts
Post by: ezman604 on July 19, 2017, 11:30:47 PM
I'll check with our programmer and see if he can or will add the embed option. Like I said, there was an SMF update a while back that removed the option due to security risks.
Title: Re: Embed Video In Your Posts
Post by: screwwork on July 19, 2017, 11:46:35 PM
Hey Dez,
The first one I copied your post and with a space in it. the second post I thought I removed the space??

Yep!!!
:)

On youtube, click on Share. Then select Embed. Copy the URL for the embed. Then in your post, type [ html], paste your copied URL, then type [/ html]. Good to go....

Very cool, I was trying to figure it out recently, it changed and I'll give it a try.

doesn't work on this puter (Linux Mint17.3-Firefox)

I noticed that was a 2015 video, things have changed recently on this forum because I used to be able to just copy the url and embed them but not anymore.

It did work Wayne, just type the html bracket set before and after the embed code.
:)

Post by: Norcal on August 23, 2017, 03:52:24 PM
What am I doing wrong here? I put the html bracket set before and after and no bueno.

Edit - what's really weird is when I go in to modify my post, the html sets have disappeared from before and after the YouTube video imbed code???

You guys are almost there!!!
David, you apparently used the wrong link. Go to the youtube page and just below the video look for the Share. Click on that and then below that will appear Embed. Click on that and then the embed link will appear. Right click to copy it.
Then....and Nick, this is what you left off, add the brackets and the html and brackets /html. Put your cursor between the brackets, right mouse click and paste the Embed URL. Or do like I do and type the bracket and html bracket, paste the URL then bracket / html and bracket.

No brackets with HTML Jerry.....before and after URL. Just type [ html] and paste the URL then type [ /html] and you're good to go.

Nope, it still doesn't work for me. I went so far as to copy the exact html string with YouTube embed info from my post above that you edited, and tried posting it in another thread. When I go to Preview my post, the video does not show up, only the YouTube embed info. I have copied & pasted below to show you.

Like the other folks, no [ html]  [ /html] at the beginning and end of the URL. I added it above and that is all I did, and it works.
:)
Title: Re: Embed Video In Your Posts

I'm not a computer illiterate guy. You are saying not to put html /html before and after the embed link but when I view my post where you have edited it and it is working, it shows html /html IN BRACKETS before and after the embed link. Am I dense or am I missing something?
Title: Re: Embed Video In Your Posts
Post by: ezman604 on August 23, 2017, 10:50:42 PM
HaaHaa
My apologies for not being clearer. I MEANT everyone was leaving off the [ html] [ /html] before and after the link and that's why it's not working. All you have to do is add those in front of and after the link.
Sorry again...I think quicker than I type...or type quicker than I think....I think.

Title: Re: Embed Video In Your Posts
Post by: Norcal on August 23, 2017, 11:33:07 PM
OK - one more try and I give up.

I have been doing exactly as you say, and putting html in [] like these before and like these [/] after the embed string. Every time, whether I do it myself or I copy the string as you edited it in my posts above, when I try it, the Forum Software removes the html/brackets, leaving just the embed string, and the video does not embed.

It's the Forum Software leaving out the brackets & html, not me.
Title: Re: Embed Video In Your Posts
Post by: ezman604 on August 23, 2017, 11:41:18 PM
Yeah, I saw that when I edited yours. I added the brackets, it was there for a minute then gone again. It MIGHT be the secure site changes we made a while back causing the issue. But it seems the last time I edited yours it stuck....for now.

Interesting...it wasn't working in the preview window but after you post....it's there.
The media buttons were removed. There were only 3 media sources available that way. Our programmer removed those and did an upgrade that allowed for AMNY different sources.
Just paste a URL in the thread and it should appear.
As this one...

Pivot on the pitch axis and have the tail going in circles end over end. Very few planes can perform one and the pilots are even fewer.

Copy the URL address of your .GIF and embed it the same as you would a .JPG by using the IMG (Mona Lisa) Button .
 It is the yellow box under the I italics button on the top left.

Should look like this
