New BBCode Tag
Embed Vimeo content into Gaia forums.
Vimeo.com hosts user-submitted videos (like YouTube does) but has generally higher value content.
You can embed Vimeo videos using the new
VIDEO BBCode tag:
[video]http://vimeo.com/54596361[/video]
[video]http://vimeo.com/channels/staffpicks/56467095[/video]
[video]http://vimeo.com/40555466[/video]
If you aren't familiar with Vimeo, I suggest you start on their
"Staff Picks" channel and peruse.
You can also embed YouTube links with the same new tag.
These two types of YouTube URLs work equally well:
[video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4geo31TheI[/video]
[video]http://youtu.be/K7dcSr04G8s[/video]
Note: no special options (autoplay, looping, custom player controls UI, etc.) are available. We look through the video tag for a URL we recognize, pull out the hosting website (so far only "YouTube" and "Vimeo" are supported) and get the "ID" of the video from the URL.
Currently, the new tag only works in the "new" BBCode parser (only in forums, not in PMs or Guilds). This will change in the coming days.
The "YouTube" button will be replaced by a "Video" button.
