IPS 4.0: Editor - Part 1: Content

[Ricw]

Hello,

Is this not turned on?

Embedded Media

In 3.0 we introduced a media BBCode tag. By wrapping a URL to media such as YouTube or Vimeo videos in media BBCode tags, the correct embed code would automatically be worked out and embedded into the post. In later versions, we added automatic embedding support, so just pasting the URL into the post would cause the video to be embedded.

This still works exactly the same in 4.0 with a couple improvements:

Previews

If you type the URL to a supported media in the "Link" dialog, a preview will be shown in the dialog - you can choose to insert the embedded media or just a regular link. If you insert the embedded media, it will show directly in the editor.

We have since changed this behaviour based on the feedback we received. If you paste the URL directly into the editor (on it's own line) it will automatically embed. If you use the link dialog, it will insert a regular link.
