Posting Videos (Multiple Souces)
DIR By: CB

Currently I am only able to post videos that are hosted by
YouTube. But I would like to be able to post from different host
sites like Hulu, DailyMotion, MSNBC, etc....
Whenever I post anything other than YouTube, it breaks the
entire post. So, will there be an update to include additional
host sites?
Thanks

How are you posting them and how do you mean breaking the post?
Sorry for the lack of answer. I haven't had internet for the
last week do to moving. (that's MY excuse for not being around
;) )

Well, with YouTube it's easy. But when it comes to other sources
such as Dailymotion, Hulu, etc....I will try both the embed and
Address bar codes (links) to see if that works. It doesn't. And
by "breaking", I mean that if there is text that I have typed in
the same post, half of it is missing or lost all together after
posting with any other video code not related to YouTube.

Well the auto embed only works with YouTube so posting a link
wouldn't make it appear in the post.
How are you trying to embed it?
What's your forum URL? Can you give me the link to a topic that
you've tried posting a video in?

Some embed codes will work (for you as Admin only) by using the
html bbcode tags. You would do it this way:
--- Code ---
[html]
put the code here
[/html]
--- End Code ---

Okay, here's what happened with each post.
With Dailymotion, using the embed code and placing in between
the html tags, it works. It works to well actually. What happens
is that it will post the video twice, stacking on top of the
other. Weird.
With Hulu, it works fine. No problem there.
With CNBC, it doesn't work with links. There were no embed codes
so I tried the link instead.
I will try other sites and see how they fare.
You mention that this is Admin only. Is there anyway to set it
up so that any forum member can post from multiple sites and not
just me?

No... the html bbcode tags can be used only by the
Administrator.
The Mod that is installed for embedding the videos is set up for
Youtube videos only. He would have to install a different Mod
that handles other sites codes to do that.

This was presented to me from forum member. Is this possible, if
so, I do I implement it?

Are there any plans for other videos to be posted within CAF
other than You Tube videos? The natives at my forum are getting
restless. I'd like to see something done where we can post from
other sources.
