We've started using SoundCloud and Vimeo for our exclusive content on PT, and you can also embed playlists from these sites using the menu on the posting screen. Also - if you're a band who wants to embed through BandCamp, you can also do that using PT
To use SoundCloud players in a post, use the entire URL from SoundCloud within the playlist or track tags.
Like so:
- Code: Select all
[playlist]http://soundcloud.com/punktastic/sets/our-time-down-here-last-light/[/playlist]
To use Vimeo within a post, take the Vimeo ID (the number after the URL) and put it within vimeo tags.
Like so:
- Code: Select all
[vimeo]18643472[/vimeo]
If you'd like to use bandcamp, it's a little more difficult.
1. head to the URL of the album that you'd like to embed in the forums.
ie. http://pariso.bandcamp.com/
2. Depending on what browser/OS you use, this will be differenct, but... open "view source" and use the find function in your browser (control / apple + f) to look for "album=".
3. Copy the number after album=. In this case the number is "3484357366".
4. Go into a punktastic post and put the number between bandcamp tags.
Like so:
- Code: Select all
[bandcamp]3484357366[/bandcamp]
Youtube is as it has been for a long time, but now posts to a format compatible with mobile devices. We're overhauling the mobile site generally as fast as we can, but we're aware the forums are a bit tricky to use at the moment. Use the entire YouTube URL to embed a YouTube video. Remember to ONLY have the v= bit on the video. If you're confused, just ask - I'll try and make it a bit more universal soon.
Like so:
- Code: Select all
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/[color=#FF0000]watch?v=jHtJb-RFyQc[/color][/youtube]
