Soundcloud - you can now embed Soundcloud files on UW!

[aarontunes]

Just an FYI: you can now embed Soundcloud files in your posts. To do so just click on the little "Soundcloud" or "Soundcloud set" icons that now appear in the "Start New Topic" menu. Doing so will insert a pair of Soundcloud tags in your post. Then paste the URL of you Soundcloud file between them and you're good to go.

To get the URL of your Soundcloud file, log in to your Soundcloud account, click on the file you want to embed, and then click the "share" icon. A window will pop up with the URL. For example, the URL of the song below is: https://soundcloud.com/kidcosmic/fire-that-never-dies

When I paste it between the Soundcloud tags it appears in the post like this:
[soundcloud]https://soundcloud.com/kidcosmic/fire-that-never-dies[/soundcloud]

Nifty.


From the "no good deed goes unpunished" file, I must now ask:  Any chance we can get Youtube embeds workin' again?

It doesn't appear to be there at least on the iPad I'm on.

 

[fdesalvo]

Blast!  I can see it on my desktop.

You might need to do a hard refresh of the page.

I'll check it out tomorrow from a PC and a Mac.

You know the late Mr Jobs, said. IPad simple the best way to surf the web, well apart from when it's not 

I tried a reset, and made a test of the link above, I could embed it in the tags but not see it.

Hmm....the link to the image for the Youtube button is broken. I must need to copy the image into a themes folder somewhere.

The button looks to be functioning correctly though. Can someone else verify?

 

[fdesalvo]

Works just fine - thank you.

I can see the video. But don't see a YouTube icon.

Like the video, brought back memories of covering Scorpions tunes back in the 80s, good job.

Ya...the button is there, but the image link is broken. I'll see if I can get the fixed ASAP.

The Scorps thing is a blast. Here is the other band I'm in:

OK....the YouTube icon should be visible now. Yay!

Hallelujah, it works!  Thank you!
