The Advanced BBCode Box extension won't open links in a new window. I'll PM you another extension you can use for that.
The Advanced BBCode Box extension will display content directly within the post. This works for many different sites, e.g., YouTube, Amazon, NPR, Google Docs, and others.MiBBS wrote: Mon Nov 27, 2023 11:07 pm Nice! .. I will be checking this out in a few moments.
Does, by chance, this bbc extension allow urls/links that are posted in posts to open in a new window also? That would be triple bonus. I hate to install an extension just to allow anyone that posts a link to open in a new window, like it should be already.
It's quite annoying to see a good post with a good link and have it open in the same window and then have to find your way back to the forum.

I think you're confusing the ABBC extension with the phpBB Media Embed extension.Floyd wrote: Thu Nov 30, 2023 7:03 am ...

I'm not so sure of that, yet, I am new and I don't know much. But what I do know is that after I installed the ABBC extension, whenever I link to a .mp4 file, it just embeds and plays. Where as before with just the media embed extension it would not do that.warmweer wrote: Thu Nov 30, 2023 7:48 amI think you're confusing the ABBC extension with the phpBB Media Embed extension.Floyd wrote: Thu Nov 30, 2023 7:03 am ...

I would not want to allow a user to post a video as an attachment. I would rather them just link to a .mp4, ogg or whatever they got to lessen my storage and bw usage.
