Title: Bitcoin donation BB code
Post by: Bimmerhead on December 14, 2014, 03:14:48 AM
I'm using this tipping tool https://github.com/jeremymouton/cointipper-server to try and create a bitcoin donation function in my forum (see attempt here: http://alpina.ca/showthread.php?p=1961#post1961) using a custom BB code with the following embed code:

Code:
<embed src="https://cointipper.herokuapp.com/tip/bitcoin/BTC/1GMwCf6XsMufpot3wHzbYnU3d2RevD5/CoinTipper-Donation-Jar" height="38" width="150">

It displays fine and when I click on it it takes me to the next step, but it won't complete (ie, it won't start my bitcoin wallet and populate the fields).

Is this a restriction of BBCode, vBulletin, or something else?

Hmmm, I just checked the one that is in the the Electrum documentation (https://electrum.org/bitcoin_URIs.html) and yours seems to be correct. Are you sure that your computer is able to handle Bitcoin URI's?

If I right click on the button to open in a new tab, Chrome acts correctly: tries to open my bitcoin wallet. Just clicking on the button though gives no response.

I'm going to download Electrum and try their instructions.

You could try to open a new window/tab with the Javascript function "window.open()". Maybe that triggers the URI stuff correctly.

You're right, it was all my computer. Working fine on iPad and Mac.
