Ok ric323, but, even if i put the most simplest url like:

Code: Select all

[googlemaps]http://maps.google.com/[/googlemaps]
i get a googlemap window in my forum like this:

Why am i getting this red area??? :|

Maybe this bbcode is not good for what i want. I want to put a googlemap in my forum for each of my sponsors so the customer can easily find them, but, as you can see this issues occur.
Can you advise me what bbcode to put for what i need?

Ric explained it well. You need the parameters attached to the URL to display the map like you want, but the phpBB URL tag doesn't handle parameters. The default, like you posted above, will look just like visiting Google Maps online.

FYI, I pasted the entire URL into a normal HTML file and it displayed the map without the "red area". The file looks like this:

Code: Select all

<html>
<head>
<title>The White House</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>White House Google Map</h1>
<iframe width="625" height="500" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=1600+Pennsylvania+Avenue+Northwest,+Washington,+DC&sll=36.83292,-121.392918&sspn=0.053584,0.129089&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=1600+Pennsylvania+Ave+NW,+Washington+D.C.,+District+of+Columbia,+20500&z=14&ll=38.897646,-77.036562&output=embed"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=embed&hl=en&geocode=&q=1600+Pennsylvania+Avenue+Northwest,+Washington,+DC&sll=36.83292,-121.392918&sspn=0.053584,0.129089&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=1600+Pennsylvania+Ave+NW,+Washington+D.C.,+District+of+Columbia,+20500&z=14&ll=38.897646,-77.036562" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small><br />

If you have a limited number of sponsors, I would create a normal HTML page for them with their Google map embedded and give your sponsors the URL for that page. Then I'd create a BBCode that just put that map in an IFRAME.

I have a custom BBcode to allow users to override the standard css (this is fine as we are a small forum, so security problems are not an issue when I'm managing 15 people).

Basically its this:

Code: Select all

[style]{TEXT}[/style]
HTML Replacement:

Code: Select all

<style type="text/css">{TEXT}</style>
Now everything works as it should except one thing so far, parentheses. When this is entered in:

Code: Select all

[style]body { background: url(LINK TO IMAGE) !important; }[/style]
It converts the parentheses to &#40; and &#41; when rendered to html. Is there any way to prevent this?

Any suggestions for replacing {TEXT} inside the html tag ? (IDENTIFIER, SIMPLETEXT, INTTEXT, ... does not work)
I have the same problem whenever I need to pass a specific attribute into an URL, where full TEXT support is necessary. Example:

Code: Select all

<a href="http://myurlxxxx.com/index.php?q={TEXT}">...</a>
FIRST:
I need all chars available, including UTF8 and special chars for a correct URL. Is there an other solution instead of "{TEXT}"?

SECOND:
Is there a documentation or an example anywhere that helps judging the risk of an XSS-vulnerability within these kind of tags in phpBB? Since special-chars like ' < ' or '"' are beeing html-encoded, I've no clue where exactly the problem is. (I found nothing concrete about this by searching intensively).

Thanks in advance for helpful answers!

Dunno if anyone else figured it out already, not gonna parse a 185 pages topic for it:

How to parse any youtube URL and show it no matter pre- or suffix.

Code: Select all

BBCODE USAGE

[youtube]{TEXT1}youtube.com/watch?v={SIMPLETEXT}{TEXT2}[/youtube]

HTML REPLACEMENT

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{SIMPLETEXT}&hl=en_GB&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{SIMPLETEXT}&hl=en_GB&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
Basically TEXT1 captures pretty much anything that ends in youtube.com.
SIMPLETEXT captures only youtube's video, and stops parsing breaking the BBcode if there's anything further behind it! So I added a TEXT2 to jump in as soon as SIMPLETEXT stops (ie at the &).
Both TEXT1 and TEXT2 are further ignored!
^_^ Have fun!

Embedding a Prezi in phpbb

Post by Nekhrun »

Hello,

I've been trying to write a BBcode for embedding a Prezi on a phpbb board, but today's my first day working with this type of thing. I was successful in adding a YouTube embed button, but I'm missing a few for the Prezi code.

I'd like to have a button that a user could click and just paste the Prezi link, just like many have done with YouTube codes.

Here's a sample embed code from a Prezi: http://prezi.com/rfsnedhqmhqa/thoughts- ... hing-tool/

Code: Select all

<div class="prezi-player"><style type="text/css" media="screen">.prezi-player { width: 550px; } .prezi-player-links { text-align: center; }</style><object id="prezi_rfsnedhqmhqa" name="prezi_rfsnedhqmhqa" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="550" height="400"><param name="movie" value="http://prezi.com/bin/preziloader.swf"/><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"/><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff"/><param name="flashvars" value="prezi_id=rfsnedhqmhqa&lock_to_path=0&color=ffffff&autoplay=no"/><embed id="preziEmbed_rfsnedhqmhqa" name="preziEmbed_rfsnedhqmhqa" src="http://prezi.com/bin/preziloader.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="550" height="400" bgcolor="#ffffff" flashvars="prezi_id=rfsnedhqmhqa&lock_to_path=0&color=ffffff&autoplay=no"></embed></object><div class="prezi-player-links"><p><a title="Ideas and reflections on the effective use of Prezi to support whole class teaching" href="http://prezi.com/rfsnedhqmhqa/thoughts-on-using-prezi-as-a-teaching-tool/">Thoughts on using Prezi as a teaching tool</a> on <a href="http://prezi.com">Prezi</a></p></div></div>
I know that I need to change all of the "rfsnedhqmhqa" to {simpletext} or something like that but I'm just not getting it at the moment. Can anyone help me?

</embed>
</object>
Maybe nobody answered because you rolled your eyes at them. :roll:

Anyway, have you tried just replacing the two instances of the (http://www.mysite.com/video/test.avi) URL with {URL} placeholders like this:

Code: Select all

<object classid="clsid:67DABFBF-D0AB-41fa-9C46-CC0F21721616" width="620" height="560" codebase="http://go.divx.com/plugin/DivXBrowserPlugin.cab">
 <param name="custommode" value="none" />
  <param name="autoPlay" value="false" />
  <param name="src" value="{URL}" />
<embed type="video/divx" src="{URL}" custommode="none" width="620" height="560" autoPlay="false"  pluginspage="http://go.divx.com/plugin/download/">
</embed>
</object>
and defining the tag as:

Code: Select all

[divx]{URL}[/divx]
If you need to control the width and height, you could add placeholders for those, too.

Normally I'd test that, but I'm not interested in downloading a browser plug-in.
