Hello, I know that this forum doesn't support Youtubes' Iframe so we have to put the full link such as 'http: blah blah' but when I do that the video gets awfully big and also I have that plugin that automatically posts a topic on your forum when you publish your post but when I embed a youtube video on my blog i use the shortcode like this [youtube= blah blah bah] but it doesn't show when I automatically post it so my question is.

 

How do I get this shortcode [youtube= blah blah blah] to work on the forum? Also, how can I change/customize the size of the video on the forum not blog post?

have you enabled the youtube shortcode in the forum? its on forum - options - content settings... you have to tell which shortcodes you want to enable since any user could use them...

Ahh yes okay found it! Thank you so much! I also have another question.

There is a conflict betweens wordpress social profile and simplepress profile.

Wordpress asks for the whole url of your social profile like

Meanwhile simplepress ask just for the name.

How can I change the settings where the user inputs there whole url instead of just the name?

 

I'll manually change the code if you tell me which files I have to modify because I tried searching for the files but I couldn't exactly which was which.

we have no way to change that... short of modifying core code which sucks...

but they are in simple-press/forum/content/sp-topic-view-functions.php...  you will need to modify each identity function that you want to change, ie sp_PostIndexUserTwitter()

actually, you could do this with some smart filtering...  for the twitter routine I just mentioned, you could use our filter 'sph_PostIndexUserTwitter' and remove the double url... that is is a user entered for their identity, it would end up http://twitter.com/problem-wit.....com/myname...  so you could filter that and replace it with the proper url...
