imatfaal Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Why are we forbidden from using this format? It seems to display fine. If you add an image url the preview is perfect - but when you press post it tells you that this format is not allowed in this community. Lots of the wiki stuff is done in SVG and might make it easier to post with full attribution if we could just copy across the already formatted BBcode for a diagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endy0816 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Hacking potential maybe? Code could be sanitized though. There may be a module or something that can be added. If you go into the image's page, you may be able to find a png version. ie. though I do agree that doing this is a bit cumbersome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensei Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) Forum program has filter (by extension most likely) for allowed graphics file formats. SVG is apparently not one of them. You don't need to search for real image alternative: simply make screen-shot while displaying SVG in browser, cut image, and auto-trim (to remove border around it).

imatfaal Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Like I did above Ideally I wanted a way of just using the pre-formatted wikipedia bbcode to embed a diagram. As a member of staff I try to check the copyright status of members postings - and it would be nice to have a simple solution to all diagrams and pictures on wikipedia that gave the photographer/artist/designer the credit they deserve with just a cut'n'paste As an example with a jpg. Rather than upload an image (which loses all reference to creator), or use a url which loses most of the attributions you can just do this 1. click on image on wikipedia 2. click more details 3. click use on web 4. copy bbcode 5. paste bbcode Triangles (spherical geometry) [GFDL http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html) or CC BY-SA 3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)], by Lars H. Rohwedder, Sarregouset, from Wikimedia Commons And you get the picture, the license, the creator, and the title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endy0816 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Yeah, there are a few different workarounds.

imatfaal Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 You aren't data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' width='30' height='30'><circle cx='15' cy='15' r='10' /></svg> copy the blue into your browsers address bar. I can't see any other way of doing it. "We" as in members of this forum posting here - not "we" in general. I realise the diagram format exists and is available for public use - I wonder why the forum stops us using it - if you see my post above there is a screenshot of a post preview in which the diagram previews perfectly but you get a prohibition when you try to post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
