Using Embed Codes On Hf

Hey, GB and were just talking about coding in HipChat and I decided to start a thread to see if we could get some input from some experienced coders on this. It seems as though GB has a bit more knowledge on the subject than I do. I've just started learning a few bits and pieces when it comes to BBC (which HipForums uses if memory serves me right), HTML and Javascript, learning a bit here and a bit there on small projects and modifications of certain programs. Mostly just desktop gadgets for Windows... but anyways, enough about that

For a while now, I've been trying to figure out how to convert Embed codes (which seem to be used everywhere) from archive.org to a format that's compatible with HipForums. I've tried a variety of ways to post the webplayer embed code but haven't been able to figure it out yet. I've also tried using online code converters, but they don't come up with anything, which leads me to believe that javascript/HTML embed codes aren't compatible with HF's BBC coding.

It would be really nice to be able to post specific songs or entire set lists here on HF. Any help would be much appreciated and give me a bit more knowledge on how things work. Also help others with posting embed codes as well.

Here's a sample embed code for reference:

<iframe src="https://archive.org/embed/schwag2010-09-18.sbd" width="500" height="30" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen="true" mozallowfullscreen="true" allowfullscreen></iframe>

So far... I know it needs brackets?

GB also suggested using "(open bracket)A href" OR "(open bracket)img src="

 

http://archive.org/embed/schwag2010-09-18.sbd

I just put the url address between [url="website" in quotations and then after the website address closed it with a slash in the brackets [/ in front of URL. Also remove the 's' in https. I attempted to just have the track load on HF but no luck, so I defer there.

 

thats html, forums dont generally support html or js because some issues that would occur, to get around this there is bb code which can be used as markup on forums. the forum engine parses the bb code tokens and then dynamically generates an html document that your browser can parse (which wont contain any bbcode at all, browsers dont parse bbcode). just think about the possible inplications of html or javascript blocks being inserted right into the main document ...

the bbcode feature support between forums can vary slightly, and i think hipforms uses a little different syntax for at least one tag ... i cant remeber just one but i remember one time i noticd that. i dont really know much about bbcode though ... theres not really that much you can do with it. about the most hacking you can do with bbcode is changing the time stamp of some stuff ... which isnt all that interesting. check where i quoted you, its an excercise for the reader to try and figure out how this is possible. analyzing things, breaking them down to try and figure out what they do is the type of mindset it takes to learn to code. id suggest dropping html for the meantime and learn an actual programming language. javascript is fine, i suggest learning C but it puts a lot of people off.

i could recommend some excellent books on hacking if your interested just tell me and i can put the pdfs on filedropper. most of them are concerned with coding in C, but i think i have a few that are language agnostic. generally the important concepts that you learn can be applied in any language.

bbcode tags use the square brackets ... angle brackets are html

edit: nvm, for some reason timestamp dont work anymore ... now i wonder why?

 

there we go ... ^ 2005.

 

I researched some info into BBCode it loOks like it's fairly limited into the video embeds it allows.

 

[archiveorg schwag2011-04-16 width=640 height=140 frameborder=0 webkitallowfullscreen=true mozallowfullscreen=true]

Aww, I thought for sure that might work. They have an option to embed for 'wordpress hosted blogs' now on archive.org. Too bad, so sad

 

Can you stream it and then upload it to google video? You may be able to embed it from there.

 

That might work... Of course, it might turn out better if I were to sober up a bit first lol

That's a good idea though. Why didn't I think of that?? idk if I could 'stream' to youtube, but I could download and upload to and from.
