How Display Videos/Images from RSS Feed in Forum Posts?

[Dave234]

Come on, SOMEBODY has to know how to do this. How is it not possible to do this???????????

[Dave234]

Does anyone know? I really need this to work.

[Dave234]

It seems so simple. I'm shocked that it's not possible to automatically insert video or images into the forum via rss feed.

When editing the feed, in the "body template" add this:

[video]{feed:link}[/video]

BTW I found that the feed url you posted above didn't work until I changed it to "http:" instead fo "https:".

I have found that a lot of rss feeds just deliver you the headline and a link or just copy, but when I use content:encoded in the options I get rich streams most times

[Dave234]

kh99, which feed url did I post above? I don't see one.

Toorak Times, can you give me an example of how I would put content:encoded in options?

What would I include in options?

In post #4, you posted this: https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/...erby=relevance

But some time after I posted my solution, I was thinking about it and I realized that it only works because the link included in the feed is a youtube page. It's not a general solution for any video link in a feed.

kh99, you are awesome. Thank you so, so, so, so much.

Do you know how I could do this for images and video from other sources, other than youtube?

Dave did you ever get this function to work...I am also interested in adding images with a blogger feed in a forum thread. If so, would you share! I have VB 4.2.1

I use this plugin, as long as the video is from youtube that is, and then use this link to pull in the full rss feed.
Copy the rss feed from the site you want to pull info from into that page which will then give you a link to copy into your "URL rss feed". Make sure "Convert HTML to BB Code" is ticked yes. And in the body template...I have it as:
{feed:description}
and this will pull in images, video....and corresponding links as well.
