Any reason why we cant embed Vimeo here?

Any chance we might be able to in the near future?

Or is it I am just retarded and there is a different way to embed VImeo




Sorry, video there is better than Youtube.

Mr. Bishop is a new poster here, he also happens to be one of the new owners / coders for the site. There's another thread about things people would like to see implemented on the site. Vimeo embedding was my first request.

i'd like to be able to embed pictures in the forums with a code. I know it is possible in social groups and on our personal site. I recognize that it could probably cause some chaos for mods but what is the difference if we can already imbed videos? Somehow I suspect that youtube lacks parental controls

Wait... describe further. You can already post a picture in the forums can't you? What different functionality do you want from what is already here?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.



Ah I'm just messin' with ya. When I said forums I was referring to forums other than RM. BB code is one of the most widely used tagging script/language thingies across these here intarwebz. vBulletin is one of the most widely used message board systems.

yeah i used imbedded code in the I Hate MMike group to post that image. It also works on your personal page. Your public profile. Instead of posting words visitors can post images...it was some other code I found. I used trial and error to figure out which code I used to do that type of thing in the first place.

And interesting tidbit of info - the reason that this is done is to keep the site secure. If full HTML is allowed to be entered into the site, malicious code can be insterted by the haxz0rs out there. We wouldn't want any of your computers getting taken over now would we?

So that is one frustrating thing. To prevent this, there can't be full HTML. Interesetingly enough, this is also the reason that vimeo embeds don't work. We'll have to add a special plugin that recognizes that code, and allows it. Same way the Youtube plugin thinger works.

Canadians seem so reasonable in print... and the you visit Montreal - Whats up with that?

Can't blame everything on mmike as powers of influence are obviously limited.

Yeah, kidna what I was looking for. Vimeo works alot better than Youtube, SPecially for us helmet cam users that want to share video with each other.

I came up with a Vimeo custom tag, I think it was for Fraser. I'll dig it up again and re-implement.

Vimeo embedding works now.

Just do [vimeo]1234567[ /vimeo] (without that extra space, obviously)

Like so:

Hah awesome! Check that one off the list eh? Maybe we can add it to the GUI editor... hmmm.... I'll hit you up over email.

Just to let everyone know, we've been doing some backend testing and we have managed to solve the ad loading issue. Ads will now load after the content on the page, so no more huge page stalls.

Looking like it might actually end up as a wedneseday launch for Round #1 of upgrades. Stay tuned!

Works now... I made the videos a little bigger (the default size is small), and added a button to the toolbar so you can use it like the YouTube button.
