Sanctuary Update - 8/21/2025

[Arnox]

Changes:
= N/A

Removals:
- N/A

Additions:
+ Added media embed functionality for embedding singular tracks from bandcamp.com.

Notes:
This is for you, @Gauche. No more having to post non-descript music links. Sorry, I would have fixed this earlier, but you didn't say anything, and honestly, I was lazy. lol An example of this in action can be seen below.

EDIT: Also improved and modernized embedding of whole albums. Unfortunately, with individual tracks though, I don't know how to remove that large spacer at the bottom it insists on putting in no matter what. But hey, minor issue.

EDIT2: Nevermind. I finally fixed the spacer issue. >_> I'll post another Sanctuary Update tomorrow notifying everyone.

Thanks but

this issue is why I stuck to direct embed links (also I can edit the background color to any hex# of choice edit: and the size)
Whoever made the Xenforo embed support fucked it up for bandcamp I'm pretty sure as posting them on others sites doesn't have the large spacer - tumblr had bandcamp embeds working right over 10 years ago, get it together

XenForo didn't fuck it up because they don't natively support Bandcamp embeds, period. I had to write out the embedding code myself. lol Oh, and by the way, you shouldn't need to adjust the size as the Media BBCode should recognize whether you're posting an album or track and expand (or shrink) the embed window accordingly.

Now, there is a free add-on that adds a whole bunch more sites for embedding, but I didn't add it because I'm trying to keep our installation of XF as vanilla as possible to better ensure maximum security, to allow for much smoother and more painless transitions between versions, and finally, to minimize as much as possible the hassle of an add-on author ditching their add-on for whatever reason, leaving us high and dry.
