hereistheme hashtag also conflicts with link preview.

murdocklawless

is twitter problem going to be fixed?

datitisev

murdocklawless If you're referring to the issue when the hashtag ext is enabled, then it cannot be fixed with this ext. It has to be fixed from the hashtag ext side.

The reason for this is that I'm assuming the hashtag ext does a text search on HTML code, which breaks the code if it is replacing something that is not visible text.

datitisev any update?

HasanMerkit the update should come from @Justoverclock

Would it be possible to add invidious.io (eg. invidious.namazso.eu) as Video link? We'd like to use this than original youtube.

Yolo this extension doesn't provide any custom embed, it only enables the ones already defined in the TextFormatter library used by Flarum.

To add new embeds, you can either create a new extension that registers additional embeds, or submit a pull request to add the embed to TextFormatter. There is currently no plan to have this extension register custom embeds or formatting tags.

CyberGene

A member on my forum is asking if it’s possible to bypass “embed” if desired? Like pasting many YouTube links and not wanting for them to become embedded videos but just stay as links.

clarkwinkelmann

CyberGene you can use the bbcode or markdown link syntax:

<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ>
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ or custom label](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)

clarkwinkelmann ~~I tried with the third one but it didn't work, let me try again or with the others.~~ It all works, thank you!

I installed this extension but all my older Youtube links are not "embedded". It seems any youtube link posted after the plugin was installed is embedded, is this correct?

Also I am unsure what these options do or should I be enabling all of them?

FancyPants
Use fancy typography
HTMLEntities
Use HTML entities
PipeTables
ASCII-style tables
TaskLists
GitHub/GitLab flavored task lists

clarkwinkelmann

Wellwisher older posts are not automatically enabled. You need to edit (modify at least one character) and save each post, or re-parse all posts with an extension. Unfortunately there's no publicly available extension that does this at this time as far as I'm aware.

clarkwinkelmann How much to build one. 😄

Thanks for your help. I'm having an issue whereby it's not possible to embed private Soundcloud playlist links. When you post a private track, it displays an error in the post preview, but embeds successfully:

But when you embed a private playlist, it will not embed:

This same link can be embedded in my Wordpress site or in other forums, but won't work with Flarum. Any ideas?

Many thanks!

clarkwinkelmann

si_edgey I remember this being discussed before. It's a limitation of the TextFormatter library used by Flarum.

I assume it performs some sort of "preflight" API request to Soundcloud to get information about the link and this probably fails, which in turn make the embed not load.

There's nothing we can do about it in this extension, this would have to be fixed in TextFormatter.

si_edgey But when you embed a private playlist, it will not embed:

If you send me the URL, I will look into it. You can post it here in a code block if you want.

si_edgey

clarkwinkelmann Thanks @clarkwinkelmann - since this is quite an important feature for me that may force a change of forum, could you point me in the direction of who to contact please? As I'm not a developer I'm not too clued up on the inner workings of the software. Many thanks.

luceos

si_edgey @JoshyPHP maintains that library. He might be able to suggest a solution. I'm not sure he has notifications enabled, one can possibly also raise this question on GitHub; https://github.com/s9e/TextFormatter/issues

JoshyPHP pulled it out from the post for you:

Alright, I added support for private playlists and I intend to publish a release some time in the next couple of days so you can update your dependencies.
