Embedding Imgur Album

[mrkid]

Since Photobucket went postal, I switched to Imgur. One of the reasons was the ability to embed entire albums into a post. However, I can't seem to get it to work.
They used to use iframe, but now they run a block code.

Code Select Expand

<blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="a/Albumnumberhere"><a href="//imgur.com/Albumnumberhere">Albumnamehere2017</a></blockquote><script async src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

This doesn't show the album, no matter how I try to code the post.

The album itself will have the address:

I looked up all of the BBCode mods, and none seem to cover Imgur.

I did add it to my embed mod if you just post the link to imgur https://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2681

Okay, cool! Now for the million dollar question...

If I load this, do I have to go back and edit 500

[youtube][/youtube] links again? My moderator may kill me...

Well hmm you might be able to a database query and remove any of those tags [youtube] etc I would do it on a test message first and if it works do it on the rest.

It looks like I also have the option to turn off the Youtube embed, and keep the icon in my message block.

Does this mod allow just dropping the "share" link into the message, and the code is taken care of?

Sorry to ask all these questions outside of the support thread.

[vbgamer45]

Yes it does. You just drop the link in the message and it auto embeds that's the great part no extra work needed.

I think I'll just uninstall the Youtube and Vimeo mods, run yours, and do a Db dump to lose the

and replace with (leave blank)

[vbgamer45]

You can make a backup first.
But also here is a mysql command

Backup first!!!

I have Backup Pro, so I get a daily backup in the morning.

Can I leave the replace command blank?

[vbgamer45]

yeah like
update smf_messages set body = REPLACE(body, "[youtube]", "");

[mrkid]

Worked like a charm! Followed up with update smf_messages set body = REPLACE(body, "[/youtube]", ""); and I'm good to go. Your embedder is loaded and running like a champ.

Glad you have it figured out
