RE: New Theme - tomh009 - 05-28-2018 The sample video works for me. What am I missing? RE: New Theme - KevinL - 05-28-2018 I think his concern is with the shape of the embedded box - too wide and flat. RE: New Theme - tomh009 - 05-28-2018 The shape of the embedded box depends on the width of your browser window -- resize the window and the box is resized, too. So I do believe this is the intended behaviour. RE: New Theme - Canard - 05-28-2018 ...so it’s intended to be wrong if you happen to have your browser window maximized? RE: New Theme - tomh009 - 05-28-2018 I didn't write the software … … but even if the preview box is "wrong", it's still functional. RE: New Theme - Canard - 05-28-2018 I'm sorry, but I disagree: RE: New Theme - jamincan - 05-28-2018 I mean, it plays and at the correct aspect ratio. The letterboxing isn't ideal, but it's certainly a lower priority issue than the twitter embedding or the issues on mobile. RE: New Theme - Canard - 05-28-2018 Absolutely agreed; just pointing out it is not the “intended behaviour.” RE: New Theme - Spokes - 05-30-2018 (05-27-2018, 08:57 PM)urbanprotocol Wrote: Spokes - I mean to use the desktop theme on desktop (and mobile). For me they're both on mobile theme with no way to switch back. Like others said, there used to be a button at the bottom to switch between themes which is now gone. Also, I cannot quote your reply which is why I didn't. I'll play around with trying to get that option back. At present time, I don't know how.

I don't know why the editing window is big, it is for me too. I think it's a software issue. I'll try to figure out why you can't edit, could be a permission thing RE: New Theme - Spokes - 05-30-2018 (05-28-2018, 12:17 PM)Canard Wrote:(05-27-2018, 07:05 AM)Spokes Wrote: Are you trying to embed from the app or the site? What shortcode are you using that doesn't work. I used both the mycode and button and both worked to embed a video using the full youtube link that you said doesn't work. Although it is stretched too. That might just be something we live with. I can't control the linking system that youtube uses. RE: New Theme - Markster - 05-30-2018 Looking at the source, I see that youtube embeds are set to be 70% of the width of the post, and 250px tall. It seems like the theme author chose that as a compromise, as this theme is mobile responsive. 250px tall works for viewing on mobile. Any taller, and it starts to look absurd on mobile, with a huge amount of black space on top and bottom. RE: New Theme - Spokes - 05-30-2018 Good catch. RE: New Theme - Markster - 05-30-2018 Looks like this page accurately describes the conundrum with embedded video: https://css-tricks.com/NetMag/FluidWidthVideo/Article-FluidWidthVideo.php I, for one, don't expect Spokes to start troubleshooting/editing the theme with this much energy. RE: New Theme - Spokes - 06-01-2018 Thanks Markster. I don't mind giving it a try, but it'll have to wait till summer when I'm off. School is kicking my ass right now. |
