Alex, if you see that, you can go ahead and delete the thread. Thanks.
All I saw UH is the link. When I went to it, I was asked for a username and password. What was you trying to do?
Is ther a picture at the bottom?Quote:

What about this one:

Still nothing. Are you trying to just display an image?
Yes. I can already do it from DropBox (if my new avatar is showing correctly), but now i'd like to know how to do the same from readdle.Quote:

Why not just use photobucket or flickr? both are free and accessible to the outside world.
Yeah I,ll try that. Is my new avatar showing?
If you aren't members in either of the sites Alex mentioned, you can always do what I do for special photos, like my house. I download them to my webspace at verizon.net, then use a url directly to them in a post.
Ya, your avatar is fine!
Thanks portals! I'm done for the night.
Is this only a test?
Yeah hux, but this is personal, not like the one you hear on your radio. "This is a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. This is only a test. If this wasn't a test, you would be dead." :)
that's pretty much what I expect down the line.-ha
This is a test. This is only a test.Quote:

This concludes this test from the Silly Willy Broadcast System.
Hi UH. Ready for round two? Let's see if we can get those images up for ya.
Please don't anyone even try to help or give advice. You have no idea how shitty this is. It's not a computer, it's a glorified iPod without the charm.

And I am steamed.
Okay Huey. Congrats, dude!
Okay, sorry about that bad mood. It's over now -- for the time being at least. But i guess that's what iPad or waterboarding does to a man.
Here's my experiment in hosting an audio file. Experiment or not, it's well worth a listen.
Direct link:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15758729/20...armageddon.mp3
Now let's see what this wrapper code does:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15758729/20...armageddon.mp3
No difference for me. Does the wrapper code make a difference for anybody else?
nope... raw mp3 wont show up as a video.
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="/forums/audio-player.swf?audioUrl=https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15758729/2010.05.26%20Carmageddon.mp3" allowscriptaccess="never" quality="best" bgcolor="#ffffff" wmode="window" flashvars="playerMode=embedded" height="27" width="400">
Direct link to audio file worked fine, UH, but wrapped link did not work at all.
Let's try an actual video, then.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15758729/Porky.flv
[mp3]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15758729/2010.05.26%20Carmageddon.mp3[/mp3]
I just wrote a custom MP3 tag for everyone.
use the bbcode (mp3)https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15758729/2010.05.26%20Carmageddon.mp3(/mp3)
replace the () with [] pf course.
try it :-)
and before you ask.. this is a flash player and as such will NOT work with an IPAD.
But will work for everyone else.
I assume you made a proper wrapper for it? Again, I see nothing. The iPad handles flash files VERY strangely, when it handles them at all.
Oh, I thought you were messing with the video, not the mp3.
My system will recognize it and will download it, but I can't play a direct .flv flash file. Don't know why yet. I use Linux, not Windows, so I'll have to look into it.
yes its working for all non ipad (iphones too).
wrap the address of that mp3 the way I showed you above and a flash player shows up and works for everyone.
nope mp3... videos are a different beast
[mp3]http://208.125.219.124/ajm/haggis/15%20Broken%20Line.mp3[/mp3]
works like a charm. I made a post about if for everyone to know its there :-)
Yup, sure does.
Yesterday, when I was messing with my experiments, you were online doing your own wrapper code stuff, so I decided to make myself scarce until the dust settled. So now i'm not clear about things and i've got questions.
Did my video wrapper work with my porky pig flv?
Did yours?
I see nothing but blank messages in either case.
Regarding the mp3's, if do see my direct link and it works fine for both downloading and listening in the browser. A simple click opens a new browser tab with a player bar in it. A click-and-hold gives a popup menu with option to download.
I do NOT see anything in the messages where you put the mp3 in a wrapper. So my question on that is:
What's the advantage of linking mp3's in wrapper code? Does anyone need it? Can't windows & linux users right-click to see all the options?
Seems to me it does more harm than good, excluding use by mobil tablets. we already surrender the right to view most videos, so why add mp3's?
-- No the video wrapper will not work with the flv ext. Typically that requires a wrapper as well. It works with items like google video and youtube though.Quote:

-- clicking it does not play for all users in a new window. Some have to download it and play it in an app (right clicking). The wrapper lets anyone that has flash (ipad/iphone don't work) hear the audio right there on the thread without saving it to their hard drive first. Not saying there isnt an advantage to downloading it too though.Quote:

-- You only surrender that to Steve Jobs because flash insnt currently supported on his mobiles. Trust me I know... Use the ipad quite often myself.Quote:

Other mobile like android support flash just fine.
If you want to make it easier for someone to click play and pause right in the thread then you can wrap it. If not, then just paste the address in. If you want to do both wrap one and paste another.
Options are good :-)
It's been a long time since I wrote in c/c++, and on the web I never did anything fancier than basic stone-age HTML, but isn't there a way to write the wrappers so they insert direct links in ADDITION to embedded media?
Just wondering.
yes. I had the link show at first but was asked to remove it as some would rather not outwardly expose the url. One of the advantages of a wrapper. And since the paste can simply be made twice for those that want to show it, it seemed like a small compromise.
Could you add a "Conceal Link" button as an option in the embedding window?
nope. that would need to be a whole new tag.
like
{mp3} or {mp3show}
Seems a bit overkill though to not paste twice.
How about a little pop-up window after the user clicks OK, asking if they want link added?
doesnt work that way UH.
BBcode is processed when a post is Viewed. Nothing is changed going in. Therefor if i change the BBcode for (mp3) now it effects all links prior.
the decision on how a BBCODE reacts happens each time a page is loaded... forever.
Therefor there is nothing to choose going in.
Like I said, I could do it. But in order to let people use it and not have the link shown, then I would have to have 2 Codes.
I'm just a little upset that the default behavior makes me more of an outsider, that's all.
Could you at least put a border around the multimedia panes, so that I won't be presented with a totally blank message? If I can't see what i'm missing, I would at least like to know i'm missing SOMEthing.
UH, you're taking this too personally. Its not you its your IPAD. And coincidentally MY IPAD. I have the same issue.
Thank Steve Jobbs and his hardon for Adobe.
But I made the default one (with no link) in a black table border. That might help you know it's not there.
No, I know it's not personal. But it's frustrating nonetheless.
Thanks for the border!
Tell you what... I reversed them.
MP3 will show the link. This is the one most people with remember.
For those that dont want to show the link MP3HIDE will work with no link.
:-)
You're my #1 hero for life!... Until somebody complains and you have to switch it around the other way. ;)
I think the options will work for everyone. Most wont care about the link... so mp3 works.
those that do can use mp3hide and that will show a black border for those that cant see it.
It's all good.
I might have a question in a minute. Otherwise, pay me no mind. I just need some HTML examples to do some search/replace at home and then hopefully i'll have a pageful of links to old fashioned city design.
