Video
TONMO now supports direct downloading for video files.
See this post for instructions
TONMO also supports Bulletin Board embedding through URL's to allow members to view videos within the forum. A video must be published on one of the following streaming sites:
- YouTube
- Vimeo
- Metacafe
- Liveleak
- Facebook (may no longer require signin)
- Dailymotion
- PhotoBucket (Not fully supported see Method 3 below)
NOTE: Pasting a link without using the toolbar option - see method #2
Recognized videos can now stream directly on the site simply by pasting the URL into the text area. It is no longer necessary to choose the Media icon. Note this is for URL (usually the address shown on your web browser address bar) addresses and not share/embed options provided by the hosting site.
For Facebook links, locate the original video in an album, right click and select
copy link address then paste the address into your text area. Openly shared Facebook videos do not require login but the video must be allowed for public access.
Embedding method #1Using the Editor Toolbar - DIFFERENT
- Copy the link (URL or share options, NOT the embed option) to the video to your clip board
- The URL should look something like this for YouTube:
Code:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4keniAk_G0&feature=share&list=UUCkX-4FXyVCkiz7h7Cmc0ng&index=3
- Place your cursor where you want the video to appear
- Click the double Media (film) icon
- Paste the link in the Enter Media URL text box
- Click the Embed button
- The resulting text will look something like this
Code:
[media=youtube]d4keniAK_G0[/media]
Embedding method #2 Pasting a URL- NEW
In most cases the software will recognize a directly pasted/typed link from one of the listed hosting sources and, after you save your post, will automatically convert
Code:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ4NjLUPrwA&feature=share&list=UUCkX-4FXyVCkiz7h7Cmc0ng&index=4
to:
Code:
[media=youtube]nJ4NjLUPrwA[/media]
Embedding method #3 PhotoBucket videos
PhotoBucket offers a sharing method that will display a photo containing a link. Clicking on the photo will open a new window/tab and play the video.
- In PhotoBucket, after viewing the video click on "chain link" icon at the top of the video window.
- Click on the text of the option labeled, "IMG codes (for forums, boards)", the word "copied" will display over the left corner of the URL.
- In new or edited post on TONMO RIGHT CLICK with your mouse and select paste.
- A thumbnail will be displayed, clicking it will redirect the viewer to the video.
Embedding method #4 Facebook videos
Face book (2015) offers a way to share videos.
- In Facebook click on the date (may only be time if posted the same day) under the name of the posting person. This will take you to a full page for the video
- Click on the main browser address bar (the whole URL will be highlighted)
- RIGHT CLICK with your mouse and select copy.
- Start a new post on TONMO and paste the copied URL to the post
The pasted URL will look something like this:
Code:
https://www.facebook.com/FACEBOOK USER NAME/videos/10208282710851146/?comment_id=10208290024433981&offset=0&total_comments=4
The forum software will convert it to something like this:
Code:
[MEDIA=facebook]10208282710851146[/MEDIA]
After saving, the video should embed and be playable on the forum.
