How to additional media embed services (like mixcloud)

[cualupe]

My forum is massively heavy on youtube and soundcloud embedding which was previously done in bbcode.

How does it work now?

You just post links? Does it auto-embed from every site available?

And how can I stop soundcloud from being so huge? It posts enormous and the entire width of the page.

I have 'Maximum video width' set to 700 but that completely ignores Soundcloud.

And how do I get it to work for Mixcloud?

Why remove bbcode then create some automatic system that doesn't cater for everything like bbcode could?

YouTube? Drop the link in the box press enter to goto next line or paragraph (depending on setup) post. It auto does it.

Yep, so far I've got YouTube, Vimeo and Soundcloud to work (although soundcloud needs some way of limiting the size).

What about other sources like Mixcloud?

How can you add services to automatically embed for things that don't seem to work (like Mixcloud) now there is no bbcode?

 

Thanks

Ah so this seems to be how the old bbcode replacement used to work?

I wish it had some kind of tag of 'bbcode' so I found it earlier while doing loads of searches.

 

Probably didn't come up because it's $10

 

The most simple feature on all forums that exist in the world and it's removed from the stock forum (which is paid for) and now I have to pay even more for something so simple.

 

Sigh

 

Thanks
