Hello All,

I've been a user of your BBS software for some years now going back to early UBB. Great product and stellar small business operation which I like to support. Keep up the good work.

I'd like to add support for SmugMug embedded video. Looking at the file tags.php, it contains to video tags, markup and regex. I assume I can add an additional array instance (#4) there with new video tag and the embed code that SmugMug provides to embed its videos into HTML pages. Using mass copy of a previous instance with appropriate adjustments for SmugMug I can hopefully update tags.php.

I gather the install PHP script builds the SQL table for these tags by running tags.php and the process is table driven from then on. So the video drop down menu reads from this table and will include any new rows added. My question is about updating the table on an already installed BBS. I'm assuming I can't just run the tags.php script owing to certain things the calling install script sets up ahead of time.

If someone could weigh in on this with some guidance that would be very helpful. Would like not to puke the SQL database. Whence I get this running I'd be more than happy to pass back the updated tags.php for inclusion into your next release for those wishing to embed SmugMug videos. Thanks in advance for any assistance provided.

you don't have to DB dive or code dive..

we put in an admin section in the control panel -- content tools -- custom tag editor, when it was adopted for 7.3..

you are correct in your finding out what flows out from the admin cpanel, but no need to do it the hard way

If I understand you correctly you want to add a posting tag for smugmug.
Depending on what version you have but in the current version that would be a regex code at:
Control Panel » Content Rebuilder-tab-Custom tag editor.

Sirdude - Thanks and I understand about the embedded tools included with threads. This would essentially allow me to add a new row to the table ubbt_BBCODE without wading through excessive details.

Ruben - Thanks also. Yes I want to add a posting tag for SmugMug. I'm on threads 7.4.1 and will revisit the admin tools provided.

Let me play with this and see if I can enable the new posting tag. If the lights go out in Seattle I've pushed the wrong button(s).

Thanks to both of you for the quick reply. Be back with more questions or hopefully a success story.

no probs.. i wrote a tutorial on how to add a gametrailers tag to give peeps some 'behind the scenes' of how to approach it..

Linky Poo

if you are interested

I assume my version falls below the addition of the custom tag editor. I've got DB tools and this will allow me to add a row to ubbt_BBCODE??

Thanks

Humm.
The change log states:


So the option should be there.

yep it should be there.. not DB tools, but CONTENT REBUILDER

Maybe I was dreaming but I thought that is the path I posted.
Maybe that version is in a slightly different location.
Oh well another beer and off to till the garden.

Ruben & Sirdude - Yes it is there as subtle as a train wreck right in content rebuilder right in front of my eyes. It appears I'm the one influenced with too many beers but I can't claim that as the excuse. Your knowledge and experience were never in question. Let me play a bit and I'll be back. Thanks.
