Steve Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 IPB, the forum software that DV uses, allows you to add custom media tags. These tags are what make links turn into embedded players automatically. The default install of IPB adds a bunch of these for you, such as YouTube, but here's a few others: - media.rar When you unzip that file, you'll see 4 folders with an XML file in each one: - Mixcloud Official.fm SoundCloud SoundCloud secure The "SoundCloud secure" one is so that links that start with https will embed automatically. It's possible to do http and https with one tag, but using separate ones makes no difference really. To use them, go into the Admin CP and click on Look & Feel - Post Content - Manage Media Tag. Scroll down to the bottom of that page and click the "Choose..." button next to "Upload XML Media Tags", select the XML file for the tag of your choice, then hit the "Import" button. Repeat that for all of the tags you want to use. This takes effect immediately and affects all future posts. You can have it affect all posts made on the site, including all posts made before you imported the tags, by deleting cached posts (not the posts themselves!!! Just the cache!) and in some cases, you may need to rebuild post content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
