hi JP,

ive tried to create similar bbcodes for those sites but its not liking it. the code from them varies too much from clip to clip, to allow it to be simplified for bbcode.

an alternative i found is a plugin that might fix this, but its dependant on the users using the actual URL to the clip, eg. http://sitename.com/filename.mp3

this might work, but it relies on the users inputting the right info, else it wont work. also, it means making changes to your core forum files, which could be risky when it comes time to upgrade/maintain etc.

i guess what im asking, is do you really want to make these changes, or can you just tell the users to post the links to the clip instead. for a forum this size, its not such an easy fix if it goes wrong. so it might be worth thinking about this.

thanks

susie
