Preventing embedded clips to auto-play

Involved Joined: Dec 28, 2003 Posts: 276 Location: Israel

I'm using PhpNuke 6.07 with PhpBB 2.0.6 with an improved BBCode, which let's you also add links as clips (asx, mpg, etc..) so they could be shown in the message posted.

The problem is, the clips are auto ran. This causes a page with several clips, to run simultanuasly. Would appreciate to know how I can make those clips start play only by the user's click on the play button.

TIA!

ring_c, not familiar with "improved BBCode". I would ask the author of that add-on(?)/hack(?). It sounds like that is the behaviour the author intended. What happens when you use the standard URL bbcode with these links?

Thanks a lot, hitwalker, your second linke gave me the clue.
here's how I solved it:

[OPEN]
\themes\YOURTHEME\forums\bbcode.tpl

[FIND, line 99 in my case]
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2"
pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/wurecommended/s_wufeatured/mediaplayer/default.asp"
src="{URL}" name=MediaPlayer2 showcontrols=1 showdisplay=0 showstatusbar=1 autosize=1 visible=1 animationatstart=0 transparentatstart=0 loop=0 height=70 width=300>

[FIND, in that paragraph]
transparentatstart=1

[CHANGE TO]
transparentatstart=0
