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

Basically, these things are there for your use, and are easy to set up for us. If there's any content that you'd like to embed on Punktastic, please leave a comment below and we'll try and make sure it's an option.
Although the content you are posting is from another website, embedding rips and copyrighted material is prohibited.
