Video file place inline behavior

[degen]

I'm fairly new to phpbb3, only used it for about a few weeks now trying to familiarize myself with the layout. Currently I'm working on updating the board to support automatic video attachments. I've started this off with creating a custom mp4 bbcode tag for the extension group "flash", and works mostly as intended when you figure it out, but it isn't very user/new-user friendly.

What I think would work based on my knowledge
step 1. I think (if its possible) figuring out which attachment is part of the flash group
step 2. instead of flash group files being placed inline with the "URL" being something like "9tXO2v_CrowRUbLb_VipIZZI~_-~9eCt_wWxV4~.mp4" it'd be "https://forum.website.net/download/file ... view&id=92" (which can be found by right clicking the attachment filename and clicking copy link address) , additionally replacing the [attachment=0 ]/attachment tags with [mp4]

This is my first time posting on this forum so if I did anything wrong please correct me

This should help.

how do you assume this could help? I'm checking it out rn and it seems to only edit the frontend/how things look, while it looks nice and could be helpful this isn't what I'm specifically searching for. If I missed something in the extension though please LMK! this is the changes I noticed with that plugin


this is my current functionality for video players + an example of what I'm looking to add (video)

I hope this is a better elaboration! thanks

Hello,

You can download the cBB Attachments extension, which will allow you to display the attached video directly in the post.

yes this is basically what I already have on my board, I'm looking for a "user friendly" or automated version of this so if a user were to upload a video file they could attach it to their post with the click of one button, rather than needing to relay to every member on how to do this
