Soundcloud links in signatures?


Azarath17

Recommended Posts

Ok, so recently I asked about putting like a widget that plays music into my signature, and it's all good just as long as it doesn't play the music automatically. However, I'm having some difficulties putting the Soundcloud widget with the music into my signature. When I input the dimensions and URL in special BZP code under 'Media', the widget appears in my signature editing box. However, when I click 'Save Changes', it vanishes.

 

Is this because of something I'm doing wrong, or is it because Soundcloud isn't a supported type of widget/link?

Did you take out the 's' in https? Because I remember that when I posted videos from Vimeo I had to take the 's' out of https for it to work.-Rez EDIT: Are we sure that Soundcloud is compatible with BZPower? Because after researching a bit, I found that you have to buy a certain app to make Soundcloud compatible on IPB forums. Most of the apps were very cheap. It would require some BBCode, but I don't think it would be that difficult. Here are links to two different apps supporting Soundcloud.

Can you show the code you're using?

 

This is the code I'm using (I think it's called HTML5?):

It seems that you need to purchase an IPS License in order to get to downloads, rather than just buying a app without a membership. Is there any possible way to embed/link without needing to buy a membership to do it? Buying an app, I'm totally fine with.

First of this:

It seems that 's' is still there, you should try to remove it.I can't really test it myself for I'm on my Ipod so...But yeah the code you showed us is HTML, and HTML isn't activated on Bzpower so that won't work.Also the administration would need to buy such an app, not you :) they could then activate it so the members can use it.Hope at least something of the above was a bit helpful :)

I'm back!

Yeah, BZPower would have to buy an app for soundcloud in order to make this work. By the way, HTML is not enabled on the forums, so the code you're using wouldn't function even with the app. I suggest you put up a tracker suggestion about buying the app and see how many people would like the option to do so. Besides that, I think that about covers any way to input soundcloud files on BZP.

I've tried using the [media] tags with no avail. I don't know how to use a forum, but some quick googling around has made me found that people have a created mods that allow IP.Board to embed soundcloud songs into posts/signature. I'm not sure if there's a request feature anywhere on BZP, but PMing Black 6 and asking him about possibly implementing the mod is a possibility.

Actually, the proper way to make a suggestion to improve the site is in the Tracker (see tab at top right corner of the BZScreen).

 

So, you can request that they can allow Soundcloud onto the forums? I have a link to the soundcloud blog that tells how to do that - I would just put a request in the tracker? Or send one directly to Black Six or another staff member?

 

EDIT: Or should I start asking around first and find out just how many others would be using it?

Thanks for all the help, everyone. Looks like this has been answered sufficiently, then, and since it's already been posted in the Tracker...
