What is the Default Image Extension

When you want to embed images, what is the coding you type to get the images to show up?

Is it [img] [/img] ??

    Depends on which formatting you use for your forums:

    HTML <img src="foo.png">

    BBCode [img]foo.png[/img]

    Markdown ![](foo.png)

    You can change the format in your configuration file (config.php) by adding this variable:

    $Configuration['Garden']['InputFormatter'] = 'Markdown';

  • ahh Okay. is there any way that i can change it to the BBcode format ?

  • OK , well I added the code to config:

    $Configuration['Garden']['InputFormatter'] = 'BBCode';

    and tried to add an image:

    [IMG]image.jpg[/IMG]

    And it didn't show up correctly??

    It only works for new discussions I'm afraid.

  • Oh okay. I figured that out .. lol . Sorry, stupid moment there.

    I have another question. I am using the tapatalk application, and it requires that in order to show embedded videos, you need to use the BB code [VIDEO] [/VIDEO] . Is there any way that I can modify some coding so that it will make it so the BB Code is the standard embedding method for videos as well? Or is that too involved ? Thanks!
