We now support Google Form & Playlist embedding!

Post by Kireblue » Fri Feb 09, 2018 1:28 pm

In order to facilitate the voting process for the upcoming VCAs, I just added a google form embedding feature to the forum. But I feel that this feature can be useful to other users as well (specifically contest coordinators), and so I'm making it available to everyone. And so if you use google forms to handle your submission process, you can now embed it directly into your rules thread. To do so, simply use the newly added "gform" tag, and paste the url path inside it.

Here is an test example of how to embed the following google form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScbErf5gqAfqLehSqUA-n8bjF0ORb0-WPD-lyWY0u-g9kOBmg/viewform

Code

Code: Select all

[gform]1FAIpQLScbErf5gqAfqLehSqUA-n8bjF0ORb0-WPD-lyWY0u-g9kOBmg[/gform]
Result
NOTE: The form embed feature is not currently supported on some IOS versions. IOS users, please use this link instead https://goo.gl/forms/lX3DGlfB3MWmTRuH3
Spoiler :
I also added a "playlist" tag that will allow you to embed youtube playlists. To do this, all you need is the playlist ID tag.

So to embed the following playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpNngMlvvJQ-iOPlm9JnbWobS48pg9TPC, you will need to do the following

Code

Code: Select all

[playlist]PLpNngMlvvJQ-iOPlm9JnbWobS48pg9TPC[/playlist]
Result



If you have any difficulties using either of these features, feel free to let me know.

It breaks the page on mobile. Since it’s on the other thread, I can’t even read the other replies on the same page. The scrolling doesn’t work either. Maybe needs to hide under a tag?

It seems to work fine on the chrome browser android phones, and so the problem might be exclusive to IOS. I'm going to hide the form in a spoiler tag till I apply a fix for it. Thank you so much for telling me!
