It starts with this convorsation with a friend. (You dont have to read the whole thing)
http://ahsbands.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=115#115
This is a convo i had with one of my friends about my forum. I want to embed games into posts, so i can have my friends at school use the forum as a central hub type thing for all the things that would normally be blocked by firewalls.
My question:
WTH am i doing wrong?
I am using PHPbb forum set up on my friends personal web server.
I enabled HTML in posts.
The tags that are allowed are "b,i,u,pre,embed,body,html".
My HTML for embedding the flash game reads:
"< embed src="URL" width=400 height=300>"
then i changed it to:
"< html>< body>< embed src="URL" width=400 height=300></body></html>"
thinking that the body and HTML tags would work. (i added spaces to my code so it would show up as the code, not the actual thing).
It works on this site:
<html><body><embed src="http://mywebpages.comcast.net/kuzmanoff/new/images/copter.swf" width=400 height=300></body></html>
The funny thing is, is that when i click the preview button on my forum, it shows the flash game. When i click the submit button it doesnt show up. All that shows up is the coding.
I would really like this to work, its an odd problem. Me and my friend thought it was hotlinking that was stopping it from working, but it wasnt that b/c we did somthing from his site and that didnt work either. Then we also tried the body/html tags. I have no idea what else it could be. The only thing i can think of now is that my PHPbb version is out of date. Could this be it? Dont think so, but please give ur input.
