How Do I Embed A Youtube Into The New Bw Forum?


Recommended Posts

1. Just paste the Youtube URL into the screen.

The software will "automatically" change it to an embedded video.

2. But please do NOT select the URL that looks like

http://www.youtube.com/embed/q-wGMlSuX_c?rel=

which uses the WHOLE screen and our software thus ignores.

3. Instead use the URL shown on your browser when playing on the youtube page. It should look like:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-wGMlSuX_c

Cheers !

Yeah, the auto coding doesn't function all that well at times.

There's an alternative to this anyway.

When you're on the text box, click the first icon on the top row. If you hover over it, you'll see a popup that says "BB Code Mode".

Copy your URL into the text box and prefix/suffix it with the media BB code.

You should be looking at something like this on your text box (Without any spaces):

[ media ] http://www.youtube.com/ [ /media ]

Copy and paste URL does not work for me, like the example below:  

 

http://www.youtube.c...h?v=UIEExKSjWi4

 
Tried several times.

 

testing:

if it doesn't work,

Click Special BBCode button (3rd from top left-hand corner)

Select <Media> to open the window

Under Media URL, insert YouTube URL of your choice

Click <OK> and <Post> your video

Hi,

 

Thanks for highlighting the problem.

 

1. The new update to the forum made it so that if you are pasting an URL link, it will not be embed as a video.

 

To embed a YouTube link, you need to paste the YouTube URL as plaintext. You can do it by doing Right click > Paste as plain text in Google Chrome, or press on ctrl + shift + v.

 

2. I have made some changes that now url will be 'automatically' parsed. Try it and let me know if it's working. :)

 

 

Cheers

I have tried all 3 ways suggested here. Only that by jcho works.

This is not to say the the other 2 methods do not work.

Just that I may not have done it right.

Many thanks to all.

But how to preview before posting or is there a preview function?
