Yay it finally worked!!!
Thanks for adding it :D I gave this link, but apparently the format is a bit outdated. Nowadays the default URL style is like

Code: Select all

https://www.instagram.com/p/82w4T9NZ9r/?taken-by=serpent849

hmm don't fix it if it's not broken? will it work with https://www? :roll:

Also, you don't need an instagram account to test the feature :D You can embed any public media.

How much of a pain would it be to change our youtube code to take a full URL like all the other codes (instagram, image, url)? I assume it would probably involve mucking directly with the database, so "moderate" pain...

It bugs me that the bbcodes are inconsistent. ;) But I suppose it doesn't really matter.

Or we could change the instagram code to include only the individual url, so that it was consistent between embedding services (which could also include twitter, vine or whatever)

Code: Select all

[instagram]{IDENTIFIER}[/instagram]
