HOW TO EMBED A YOUTUBE (picture)

~~(NATIVE LINK PARSING IS TOO HARD. FUCK YOU.)~~

Native youtube linking does work, somewhat.

enter the text after watch?v=XXXXXXXXXXX
if you post BOTH the yt link AND text,
only the YT video will post. be warned.

somewhat.

so if you just want to post a single youtube video, it works. it will only accept ONE video, though.

had to implement an IF/ELSE statement:

<If: Field: CustomField_yt>
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/<Field: CustomField_yt>" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<If: Else>
<Field: Text>
</If>

had to create a custom News Field and made it exactly eleven characters, because the characters after watch?v= is exact. added the above into the main news style where the normal <Field: Text> goes.

if there's something within the YT block, post that, otherwise, post the news text.

(if you post BOTH the YT link AND text, only the YT video will post. be warned.)

it works, but badly. it was a gigantic pain in the ass to figure out, so please don't break it. there is a contingency plan if it doesn't work. you can still embed iframes within a post like normal. multiple if you want.

if someone is still using coranto in this day and age, wewlad. the forums are closed and trial/error'ing this is some bullshit.

also, another downside to the pseudo yt parser - there's no edit function for the link. if it's wrong, it will likely break something. so, again, be warned. you may just have to delete the post entirely.

the absolute, sure-fire way to make sure it doesn't break shit is to use the EMBED copy/paste option from within youtube's share option.

text AND the youtube

� TRENCH WARS - [NEW] Community-Driven Silence Program

in september, a forum for a long-dead game i used to play obsessively, implemented a "COMMUNITY-DRIVEN SILENCE PROGRAM" to dissuade people from shitting up public chat. there was always a super easy way of ignoring people who were making themselves an annoyance: ?ignore playername

it worked just fine since forever. if that particular person was super annoying, or private messaging you bullshit, you'd create a text file in the game's main directory (ignore.txt) and add that person's name. now every time you log in, that person is ignored.

BUT THAT SHIT IS WAY TOO EASY AND CONVENIENT

"How about you stop talking and then it would be less necessary."

HOW ABOUT YOU STOP TALKING
AND THEN IT WOULD BE LESS NECESSARY

take into consideration, however, subspace is over 20 years old at this point

this shouldn't be an issue
the tools to curb bullshit were given out freely years and years ago
naw
too simple
how about you stop talking
and then it would be less necessary

MORE SPEECH NOT LESS

>bbbut censorship is from muh gubment

get the fuck outta here with all that

i don't fuckin understand it

embed works and is like an extra step.

also more bad news:

tagwall is out of the question because php and https don't mix.

fuckin amazingly they work. counter works too. thanks to aero-soul, parahead, and co.

still going to have to edit up the template so it doesn't show literally everything like IP address and all.

it works.



<PerlCode>
use LWP::Simple;
$iSayCounter = get("http://SITE.COM/coranto/iSay_GetCommentCount.cgi?ID=$newsid");
</PerlCode>

<Field: iSayCounter>

if get( comes back with an error of 500, you can't use it with HTTPS

https causes a lot of errors, apparently

every once in a while, i get a wild hair up my ass to get back into tracking. it's a fun, ~HUGE~ waste of time. my buddy linked me to a vid with hoffman mixing .mod files raw, like a dj. shit's wild.

this got me somewhat excited. i thought, surely, the tracker music scene was dead. untrue. especially not the amiga/c64 scene.

um excuse me

EXCUSE ME

there are a couple amiga emulators. FS-UAE and winUAE, respectively. but apparently the hardware was wildly successful in eu/jp, so much there's an abundance of old hardware you can get on ebay for next to nothing. there's also a lot of places that sell aftermarket shit like IDE to usb converters and SD card replacements for the 3.5 floppy. some of it requires soldering knowledge, a lot doesn't. there's even standalone versions, but i'm sure they are out of this world expensive. really neat shit, regardless.

we owned an amiga500 when i was a wee lad. i didn't get into computers until i was like 12 or 13, tho. by then, i had moved onto x86 PCs. unfortunately, the us didn't have a huge scene like the eu/jp.

i barely do

perhaps i will turn it into a PLEX thing like all the kool kids do
