Jesse Jost 519 Posted December 21, 2018 You can post links to your songs and even share CbB UI Themes in the Content Sharing section, where you’ll find a forum dedicated to each. Tip: When sharing a BandLab post, use the BandLab button to embed the BandLab player directly in your message. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Related to this though, is there any forum specific code for embedding YouTube or other hosted content? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certain links should embed automatically, YouTube being one of them. You’ll know right away if it works, as it will embed in the body of your post immediately upon paste, before you submit. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Tim 541 Posted December 22, 2018 Ah, neat! The old forum was crazy for that. You'd have to make sure the URL conformed exactly to what the forum software wanted, embed it in BBCODE tags and then go back and make sure the URL didn't get just converted to a clickable link instead of an embed. I'm pretty web/forum savvy and have run a few in my time but that was something else...! 😐 This is sounding like a real breath of fresh air! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyline_UK 58 Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) Jesse, when put a YouTube link it doesn't embed automatically. I'll put an example here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbqBtr56Et0 Edited December 23, 2018 by Skyline_UK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skyline_UK 58 Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Thanks Kurre, I hadn't realised I'd done that! Actually I've done a couple of tests and it seems if I copy and paste the long URL from the top of the screen on the YT site it doesn't embed, but it does if I use the different (short) link given in the YT editor for the video.

bjornpdx 625 Posted June 20, 2019 I keep trying to get my Sound Cloud links embedded in Songs forum posts but it never seems to work. I've had it work only one time and I don't remember what I did. Seems like everyone else can do it.. So I copy the URL for my song for example https://soundcloud/orygun/aliye into the body of my post and it should embed automatically? (I removed the ".com" from the example URL) There's a Share button on Sound Cloud which offers an Embed code, which looks like this: (I removed the "<" and ">" at beginning and end) iframe width="100%" height="166" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" allow="autoplay" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/637792977&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true"></iframe So do I insert the above code in the Songs post? Kinda don't think so but thought I'd ask. Thanks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Fogle 508 Posted June 20, 2019 @bjornpdx Good question. Both YouTube and Soundcloud have multiple ways to share links. Other sites might also. Then there's the whole long link / short link / tiny url thing. @Jesse Jost Which method works best when there are multiple ways to create a link pointing to a song?

Kinda don't think so but thought I'd ask. Thanks @bjornpdx , @fogle622 this forum doesn't require specially formatted embed codes or iframes, just paste the link as it would appear in URL form or in your browser's address bar. In the case of your SoundCloud example, you'd paste: https://soundcloud.com/orygun/aliye ...which I copied directly from the link in the share box: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jesse Jost 519 Posted June 20, 2019 A couple tips: - It can sometimes take a few seconds for the link to render. Just wait after pasting the URL for the embed to appear. I've seen embeds not render if you make a bunch of edits between the time you paste it and that it appears. - If you don't want the embed to appear, just type ctrl-z after it appears to revert to the URL in text form @bjornpdx here's you link, rendered: 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bjornpdx 625 Posted June 20, 2019 Thanks Jesse I really appreciate the help. So I've been copying the URL directly from the browser's address box but you copied the URL from the Sound Cloud Share box. They both look the same but maybe there's a difference. Anyway I'll try it next time and I'll take your advice about waiting a few seconds for the render. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let me know if you continue to have issues. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
