Good point.  Fixed. :p

See, there you go again, not quoting. :p You ended up at the top of a new page, so there's no context to this post. :p

Wait, what?  Does that mean that the contents of [url ] [/url ] tags are sanitised somehow?

Both [url]...[/url] and [url=...]...[/url] tags have basic sanitization and validation, including adding http:// to the beginning if it's missing, stripping out certain strings and chars, etc. Also, what Goob said about merely linking vs. embedding. :)

(and @ the Goober & jr2 replies)

Yeah - I get it now, thanks for the enlightenment, I missed the no-interaction vs must-click issue  :nervous:  I was just thinking that it's pretty easy to phish someone just by having fairly arbitrary linking ability.  i.e. post a meme [img] with a [url] link around it to some site that hosts drive-by malware.  Of course, regulars that do that would have the ban hammer dropping on them, and I'd hope that most people around here would be smart enough not to click on any link or image posted by one of the few spam[mers|bots] that get through. 

Anyway, you ain't going to add it and that's fine by me :D

Just one other thing - the youtube time tag is awesome  :yes:  Is it possible to add this to the wiki as well?  (so you don't need this sort of comment above the vid?)

I tried a number of permutations of the Wiki code for that embed but couldn't get it to take. I'm guessing it'll have to be dealt with in the PHP side of things, but I'm completely unfamiliar with MediaWiki's PHP code, addons, etc.

Sooo, probably not. Rorry!

the youtube embedding doesn't seem to work anymore.
I like to stare at the sun.

Ok, learning more and more about SMF every time. :) Should be all fixed now.

The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

And an option to replace the embedded videos with hotlinks.  Or just include the link a little over or under the embedded video.

If it isn't too much trouble.  I kind of have them disabled because it dramatically increases the page-load time.

we could really use an option for smaller youtube embed sizes

Working on it. I'll provide the ability to control the size, but what do people think the default embedded video width should be? Currently it maxes out at 960px now at 640px.

EDIT: Ok, initial sizes are set and ready to go:

Code: [Select]
[yt size=small|medium|large|max]{VIDEO_ID}[/yt]
With the default max-width being 960px 640px, the sizes correspond to 320px, 640px, 960px, and no max-width, respectively. In other words, specifying 'medium' is the same as not specifying anything.


Small
Code: [Select]
[yt size=small]Sk4uUavsrgI[/yt]


Medium / Default
Code: [Select]
[yt size=medium]lMXJlUIQP94[/yt]
Code: [Select]
[yt]Xz5z1hBxejg[/yt]


Large
Code: [Select]
[yt size=large]Xz5z1hBxejg[/yt]


Max
Code: [Select]
[yt size=max]MCsiuqg06BA[/yt]
