Yep, thanks!

Pity it costs $10 to get simple bbcode to work. What a rip

It's not as simple as you think. BBCode is old news -- I know those that are used to it don't believe that to be true because... well, you're used to it, but ask anyone that's joined the Internet in the last 5yrs what BBCode is and they're likely to give you a funky stare. BBCode is not native to the WYSIWYG and not worth the hassle for such relatively low demand. 

That said, we definitely have improvements planned to the embedding system and would welcome feedback on that.

ok so basically BBCode is dead and users of IPS4 are to wait for you guys to add all websites that have embeddable content to the auto-conversion? And until they're included in an update they just won't auto embed? There's no way I'm allowing users to ability of posting the iframe embed code, so some things will just fail to work until it's updated with IPS4?

Just so I understand. So there's no way for me to add Mixcloud? I just have to suggest it and wait for a software update?

We are looking at both improving the auto-embed routine to cover all major services via oembed. 

I'm not familiar with mixcloud specifically, but you can add editor buttons to accomplish this. AdminCP -> Customization -> Editor -> Toolbars -> Add Button -> Custom

From there, you should be able to easily do whatever you can with bbcode, but better... and with 2015 technology. :D

Hi,

On 3.4.8 I used BBcodes to put adsense ads on articles.

Authors (group of members of my community) had the ability to put their own ads on their own article.

The BBcode needed only 2 parameters. The adsense javascript code was using these two parameters to build the member ads and show it on his article.

How can I do that with 2016 technology ? ;) (sorry for my bad english, I hope you understand me)

Thank you !

just get creative, when you visit the spot lindy posted, it suggests ways to get input from the user; basically its just like creating basic html.

I have one that creates a simple iframe, that asks the user a log number, then pulls the log from our database to post into a report. html makes things easy.

I didn't know simple iframe was 2016 technology. I thought it was 1996 technology. Maybe your solution is working but it seems a bit complicated for a so simple feature.
But I thank you for your response and I will try to work around it (and sorry for my bad english, I don't speak very well Shakespeare langage)

iframe - first introduced in IE back in 1997...made part of the HTML 4 standard with Transitional and still fine to use in HTML 5 ;)

Post up the BBCODE that your users enter (along with the 2 parameters) and then post up the resulting code that this creates (ie the html) and let's see if we can help a bit more.

All my BBcodes are deleted since I upgrade, but it was something like this : 

BBcode
[adsense={param1},{param2}][/adsense]

Code created : 
<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
<ins class="adsbygoogle"
     style="display:block"
     data-ad-client="param1"
     data-ad-slot="param2"
     data-ad-format="auto"></ins>
<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>

Thank you !
