[B_Pages]

Guys when i try to add something like this ...


<object width="408" height="262"><param name="movie" value="http://www.webridestv.com/xml/wbembedplayersmall.swf?movieid=79736"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.webridestv.com/xml/wbembedplayersmall.swf?movieid=79736" type="/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="408" height="262"></embed></object>

I can't get it to work on my forums

One forum is 3.6.8 and the other is on 3.7.4 beta

Any ideas? thanks in advance!!

You cannot post HTML.

create a BBCODE for this to get it working.

well i just tried it on a friends forum and it worked perfectly just dropping that whole code in ?

how do you create a BBCODE?

this worked perfectly on my friends forum, created the video right in his post.... but on mine it is simply code...this has to be an admin panel setting ?

if he's using vB, then he must be using some mod like this Allow Usergroups to Post HTML

Check this if you want to know how to create a BBCODE for youtube [BB Code] YouTube embedded video

you can use the same way to embed videos from webridestv OR streetfire.

visit this page of my site to see how I used bbcode to embed videos from different sites.

okk.. here's the setting Allow HTML in Non Forum Specific Areas in vbulletin options->BBCODE settings.

But as it says (Strongly not recommended.), you shouldn't go for it as allowing HTML in posts can be a security risk.
