    Since starting my nodebb forum I had many attempts at installing a player to show youtube inline rather than redirecting to youtube page.
    it would have been great if there was one listed in the searchable plugins but as there wasnt, I found one on github
    ns-embed
    I installed it from CLI, but it doesn’t do anything.
    Does anyone know why that might be?
    Im curious if this site has embedded video, so trying

    Edit: it works, which plugin is used?

  • @phenomlab yes, youtube links still not showing inline
    Where do I find that rules page to accept?

    @eveh It is in fact nodebb-plugin-ns-embed. If you install this, out of the box, it should work - or you can try the below

    Does this not work for you ?

    @phenomlab
    i did

    npm install nodebb-plugin-ns-embed
    

    in the terminal
    Nothing happened (after rebuid and restart of forum)
    The box you show above, where should I have seen that?

    I never saw anything giving me the option to use default rules

    @eveh After you install any plugin, it has to be activated. Check /admin/extend/plugins#deactive, activate it, then rebuild and restart.

    Is this from the terminal. If I go to nodebb directory there is no admin directory below that?
    If you mean go on the forum admin to Extend>plugins, that NS player is not in the list still

    @eveh Sorry, no - this is from the ACP.

    Does it appear under the “inactive” tab ?

    @crazycells yes, I’m aware of that. Need to fix EDIT- fixed. Caused by the same CSS that is used to absolutely position the “verified” group badge in the posts view. Amended this CSS so that is specifically targets the post stream as below li[component="post"] a[href*="/groups/verified"] { position: absolute !important; left: 8px; z-index: 2; margin-top: 1px; border-radius: 999px !important; line-height: 14px; display: block; height: 22px; margin-left: 0px !important; }

    @mventures Yes, exactly. The other icon will restart NodeBB whilst the first icon I referenced will rebuild (recompile) it. The huge strength of NodeBB over Flarum (for example) is that the code is precompiled, and called once at boot. PHP’s code has to repeatedly reload code from source making it much slower.

    @DownPW I see why. The code relies on the existence of [component="topic/quickreply/container"] However, this by definition means that the below has to be enabled [image: aeef638f-4188-489d-a9f2-f3a26dbca9d8-image.png] It will then work [image: 7fb38631-e0f3-46ef-b652-00929d927b13-image.png] For some unknown reason, this is hidden in Harmony, and only shows if you select it. In v2, it seems that the <section> is deleted altogether in Persona if “Quick Reply” is disabled, meaning it won’t fire as it can’t locate that specific component. The downside is that you might not want the quick reply function, but I think it’s a PITA to scroll up to the top of the post just to reply, so I have it on
