BBCode for video embedding

[aburisha]

Hello!

I am trying to create a BBcode that would allow to inframe a video on my website (that is not on youtube or other video outlets). I used the following code:

Title: iframe
BB Code Tag Name: iframe
Replacement: <iframe width="100%" height="600" src="{param}"><a href="{param}" target="_blank">{param}</a></iframe>
<iframe>https://www.interpretersweb.com/loop.mp4</iframe>

It worked but suddenly it started to embed the whole site instead of the video.

Any help?

You're embedding a URL so it will display the full page. You need to embed the video only.

How can I do that? I just saw that code in internet and used it but am not an expert in bbcodes.

First of all you don't need to convert <iframe> to BBCode.

You can use the HTML5 video element.

<video width="auto" height="600" autoplay>
<source src="https://www.interpretersweb.com/loop.mp4" type="video/mp4">

You need HTML enabled for this code to work.

You should limit the use of HTML to administrators only by Usergroup permissions.

You can create an <iframe> BBCode if you like but it's for embedding static web pages.
