Hey every, sorry if this is obvious but I couldn't figure it out.

I wanted to add my devblog but all my hyperlinks to youtube / mp4s hosted on imgur just look like hyper links. I wasn't able to figure out the syntax to have them embedd so you don't have to click the link to see the image.

Example https://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=71222.0 this user was able to have images and youtube videos directly in his post.

All help appreciated. example gif/mp4

you can do images via the [ img ]  tag, just quote a post you like to see what they did. Most people do videos just by posting the youtube URL in the text and the forum converts it.

Testing the auto conversion thing.


 

^^^^mp4 img tag wrapped

^^^^gif img tag wrapped

Looks like it can't handle mp4 gif conversions. At least in preview window.

Hm, the preview at least does not convert any of the different URLs to the same link. Going to post to see if it gets converted after the fact. Quoting that other post it does seem he just posted the url to the youtube video.

Okay, it appears I was getting faked out by the preview window not showing anything (other than the direct .gif link).

Testing one last thing, a direct link to mp4 not wrapped in anything:

a secret pro hacker tip is that if you want to know how someone did something in a forum post you can just quote it and look

Yea if you post a youtube or vimeo link it doesn't show in preview, but it ends up showing in the final post.

This technology is 2007 era remind you so don't have high expectations.

This is a typical Mark post, he's one of the golden level 10 children now. I'm not jealous, I think its lame to want to be a cool kid. Even though I get upset and hate on the cool kids I am actually very cool.

Maybe being level 10 isn't an actual thing, maybe its a metaphor, like being level 10 is something in your heart?

BTW I'm thinking of making a shirt

"I'm level 10 on tigforum and all I got was this lousy tshirt"

Let me know if you want to order one.

To embed videos or images hosted on other platforms (like YouTube or Imgur) in your devblog, you can use the HTML <iframe> tag. Here's an example of how to embed a YouTube video:

Code:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/[VIDEO_ID]" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Replace [VIDEO_ID] with the unique identifier for your YouTube video (which can be found in the video's URL or in the "Share" section of the YouTube video page).

YouTube videos, at least, can be embedded simply by copying into the post the URL of the video, I believe.

So, for example, the old "Stalking Cat" video might be embedded with the text below:

Code:

Producing the following:

that is a superlative video @Thaumaturge
