Mini Mods - BB Code: Win/QuickTime/Real/Flash Media Embed

I am releasing this BB Code for you to use on your forums.

Some things to take note to customize it to your liking.

• change all 'width="320" height="240"' settings to your desire.
• change all autoplay or autostart to true if you want it to autoplay.
• change all 'param name='loop'' to true if you want it to loop.
• change all align="center" to align="right/left" in this bit of code to align it however you want '<table border='0' cellpadding='0' align="center">'

Alright, now to the BB Code.

*I know there may be exploits especially with FLASH media types, so use these BB Codes at your own risk.

Thank you, and please click Install.

Anyways, is it possible to have members upload wmv files as an attachment and play them?

hmmm... It works for me, try deleting the BB Code and trying again.

No with this code I do not think attachments will work.
The only way to do that would be to allow them to upload files to your server, and then put the link with teh proper extension in between the BB codes.

Does this work with FireFox? It works fine for me in Internet Explorer, but it won't show up in FireFox. I'm using the WMV code, BTW.

[Mad Kayaker]

WMV Works for me in Firefox.... but I can't get it not to autostart in Firefox. Has anyone else experienced this?



Works fine in IE.

Thanks

[buidoi]

not working for me!!!

[Thermit]

Neat.

Could someone explain how I go about installing this? Thanks...

[da420]

In the ACP there should be a custom BB Codes section. That's where you would input this information.

[Fungsten]

what should I enter as the URL? In other words, in the ACP - Custom BB Codes - New, when it says:

Button Image (Optional) If you would like this bbcode to appear as a clickable button on the message editor toolbar, enter the URL of an image 21 x 20 pixels in size that will act as the button to insert this bbcode.

What should I enter as the URL? Is it a relative path or do I enter the full URL to the folder?

Thanks.

[da420]

You can enter in whatever you want. If you input a url to a image it will show up in your editor. I didn't include a button because I didn't need one.

Thanks for that, have installed, I want to use it mainly to embed very small sound clips. Is it possible to reduce the display to the controls only, as I don't need the screen?
