With JQMedia enabled you should simply have to paste the URL of the media in and it should display nicely. If it doesn't, then we need to find out why.
Since JQMedia exists, I think it would make sense to put the effort into making it perfect (or as close to as possible) rather than wasting time adding the same kind of functionality to umpteen different extensions.
Yes, I seem to be having a minor difficulty with this extension.
Now its installed and showing up on the comments but when I click the buttons it will only enter the letters, no []'s or /'s.
When I press the bold button only bb shows up, not [b][/b].
Also, a few of the buttons will not work at all. Such as center, left align, right align and a few others.
EDIT:
Okay, now none of the buttons work at all, doesn't do a thing... Doh!
Any solutions?
Thanks!
Well I did that a couple times, but it still happened.
But I found one that works... The ForcedBBCode extension seems to be the only one that works for me. All the other BBCode ones would not show the []'s for some reason. It might be the Parser itself, not quite sure.
But since I have this one working now I'm fine. I just wanted a nice bar for people to use.
Thanks... But for your curiosity I was using the latest Vanilla and Windows XP, Firefox.
If you want to use the unofficial BBInsertBar 0.2, I think I've figured out why it doesn't work for some people. I think it's conflicting with the JQuery extension, and if it's activated AFTER JQuery, it stops working. If it's activated BEFORE JQuery (and other JQ extensions) it works just fine thanks
I think there is a bug in BBInsertBar in default.php on line 48.
$result = mysql_query("SELECT DefaultFormatType FROM LUM_User WHERE UserID = '".$this->Context->Session->UserID."'");
AFAIK this should be
$result = mysql_query("SELECT DefaultFormatType FROM ".$this->Context->Configuration['DATABASE_TABLE_PREFIX']."User WHERE UserID = '".$this->Context->Session->UserID."'");
if database table prefix is not 'LUM_' it causes mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in .../extensions/BBInsertBar/default.php on line 49
hm somehow the inofficial 2.0 doesn't work for me. when i click a button, it simply jumps back to the top of the page. does anybody know how to fix that?
okay, i disabled some extensions. now some buttons don't link to the top of the page and insert stuff like "bb" and "ii" this is really weird. i hope anybody knows how to fix that, i'd really like to use the unofficial 2.0
I'm using v2.0. I've just enabled it. When I click on a button (like bold) it does nothing apart from jump up to the top of the page. Anybody know why?
I've updated the unofficial build to v0.3. Quick-tested in FF 2, Safari 2, IE 6.
Fixes: - Resolves table prefix bug mentioned above - Resolves conflict with jQuery - YouTube button now works (Some assembly required. Instructions in read-me)*

I have created a modification of the BBInsertBar extension 0.1.5 for my forum. This is what I changed.
First, because I use the DefaultFormatter extension on my forum, and I have it remove the radio buttons, I have modified the BBInsertBar to only support HTML. This is ironic because it is the BBInsertBar. I think this might make my modification less useful to some people, but if you want your forum to be HTML only, like mine, this will work quite well.
Secondly, I modified the InsertURL functionality. Now if you have selected some text, it will no longer prompt you for link text and use the selected text instead. However, if you have not selected any text when you push the link button, it will still prompt you.
Lastly, I added a video button. It allows embedding video for youtube, google, or myspace in the way that is supported by the HtmlFormatter extension. It does this with two prompts, and it is rather clumsy. However, it solves the problem of having to teach my forum users how to write the tags themselves.
My modified extension is available to download here.
I have experienced the same problem - that there are no brackets on inserted BB code. I have found that this can be remedied if the user clicks the "HTML" radio button and then clicks the "BBcode" button afterward.
Is there any reason why this happens? It seems like this should be a relatively easy fix.

I'd definitely disable the extension, then delete the folder. Download a fresh copy, extract it, upload it and then enable it.
Also, which version are you using? OS? Browser? URL for us to go and take a look ourselves?
$result = mysql_query("SELECT DefaultFormatType FROM LUM_User WHERE UserID = '".$this->Context->Session->UserID."'");

I changed my tables to 'LUM_' to solve the issue.
does anybody know how to fix that?
this is really weird. i hope anybody knows how to fix that, i'd really like to use the unofficial 2.0
even with the original version, when i'm pressing a button, i get this so what is this?
stash, i'm sorry. the project isn't relesed yet. so it is not open for everyone
