Small update on the Twitch front, so I managed to create a BBCODE based one the following which embeds the player...but nothing is streaming

Title: Twitch
BBCode Tag name: twtv

Replacement:

Example: [twtv]TwitchChannelNameHere[/twtv]

For Facebook, I am getting a small window on the post but with no connection, using the below details. Anyone see anything wrong ?

Title: Facebook
BBCode Tag name: fb

Replacement:

Where is the {param} placeholder in the replacement code?

**panzerscope** · 03-24-2019, 09:57 AM

Assuming I am understanding your question correctly, let me bold the replacement parameters.

I see what you mean now.

So with Twitch I have tried

This still shows the embedded window but now with an error as per the attachment

Based from the code you posted, you are missing the closing double quote for the src attribute. And do not add space after channel= and use lowercase p for param.

Code:

<iframe src="https://player.twitch.tv/?channel={param}" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" scrolling="no" height="378" width="620"></iframe>

Well that worked like a charm for Twitch, thanks bud. I did try that with the FB code to see if that would fix it also but no joy with that. Any idea ? I have tried the two derivitives from the FB Devs page as below but not having too much joy yet, just blank posts.

Code:

<iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href={param}" width="500" height="290" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" allow="encrypted-media"></iframe>

Code:

<html>
  <title>My Website</title>
<body>
  <script async defer src="https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v3.2"></script>  
  <div class="fb-post" 
      data-href={param}"
      data-width="500"></div>
</body>
</html>

You shouldn't add html and body tags as the page already has them. There should only be one set of those tags on a page.

Ahh right so in reality what I should have is this ? I will give it a blast a little later to see if that works

Code:

 
 <script async defer src="https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v3.2"></script>     <div class="fb-post"        data-href={param}"       data-width="500"></div>

I gave that a whirl and unfortunately still am not getting the embed. I am a little stumped at this point, Any idea ?

For reference my BBCODE Entry for the FB BBCODE is in the attachment to make sure I have not done something stupid, though they are the same settings I have used for BBCODES.

After doing some Googling on the issue, I did find someone referencing the fact that Facebook contented put through Ajax will fail to display.

vBulletin.org Forum - View Single Post - Embed a facebook post into vbulletin?

https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showpost.php?p=2569837&postcount=9

This is a discussion forum powered by vBulletin. To find out about vBulletin, go to http://www.vbulletin.com/ .

Could this be the issue ? I tend to get blank posts when trying to embedding fb content via BBCODE, so to me this made a certain amount of sense.

**panzerscope** · 03-30-2019, 09:50 AM

Well not sure if it is the fact that VB runs as a more Ajax heavy platform these days that could be causing the fb posts not to embed or the Ajax page update plugin I have on my site causing the issue. I did disable the Ajax plugin to see if that made any difference, and nothing unfortunately. Any suggestions ?

**glennrocksvb** · 03-30-2019, 10:08 AM

I suggest you use the iframe embed instead of the JS one.

**panzerscope** · 04-01-2019, 10:21 AM

I will try and bugger about with the iframe again and see if I can get it working, but everything so far on the VB platform is not working, whether it is something I am doing or whether it is Ajax or something else I am unsure. Must be a way.

Small update and query here,

So I got the Facebook BB Code working to a degree. I can get the Facebook post embed working when previewing a post as the Facebook post shows up, but upon actually submitting the post, the post is blank. See examples below.

Preview of post showing FB Embed

Final Post submission (Blank)

Now when doing the preview of the post that shows the FB embed fine, I do get the following error in my dev console which I believe may shed some light on the issue but I am unsure.

For reference the working BB Replacement code for anyone interested is as below

Code:

<iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href={param}" width="500" height="290" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" allow="encrypted-media"></iframe>

Any thoughts glennrocksvb
