Description of problem

Hello

I have got a few members who are video artists that are trying out my second forum. However they are having trouble inserting Mediafire codes into the editor for videos.

The You Tube link is fine that works however members are having trouble with the other two video uploaders.

There are 3 buttons in the editor to post videos: Youtube, Dailymotion, and Flash.
the file extensions allowed are these

You can add almost all videos if you have enabled HTML in posts you don't need to add it in BB tags

what are they experience exactly ?

Hello Skouliki

When you insert the Mediafire link into the editor for the video it cuts off part of the link and you get the Adfly pop up.


Is there a tutorial about Videos that I can copy and paste to help the video artists

Thanks much appreciated

yes it redirects to adfly, you just have to click skip this adfly to continue to the page/link
you can not solve this

i think the reason you see the video cut off is caused forumotion wants to prevent illegal links to their free service.

try this to adjust the size
first be sure to have enabled html

Code:

[flash(width,height)] Source Url [/flash]

I will need assistance with that as I am not sure where to do that

you can insert a video url into a post using the above code

Is there a Video Tutorial that I can copy and paste onto my forum As my brief "How to do it" confused two who are trying the board out using the editor facility.

No sorry there is no Tutorial on this as far as i know

Just a heads up the files you are adding when you get the adfly is down to our system takes this as a spam system and puts the adfly page on it.

My advice is not to use this as the adfly page will always come up and never looks good to your members or your non members.

I have tried adding links of videos into the "Insert a Link" and Flash but doesn't accept the link codes.
As for Dailymotion Video, I have no idea how this works So its down just to members posting video links like with Mediafire etc

Please can you PM me one of the codes they are trying to use that gives the problem and i will run some tests and see if i can come up with a way to help you some more.

Please send them in a PM with the code tag system so it don't post the video on the screen

PM done

Exactly Forumotion uses AdFly to earn money on popular host links like Mediafire.  On my forum which contains Mediafire links to members' creations has AdFly.  Mediafire is considered a download host.
