Warning about external link on embed videos

[daniol]

What's happened?

When activating the setting "External Links Warning", it is also displayed when clicking on an embed video (for example when a user posts a Youtube link as a status).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Activate the setting "External Links Warning"
2. Share a Youtube video as status
3. Click on the thumbnail of the video to play
4. A "external link" warning is displayed

What's expected?

No warning

phpFox version

4.7.10

Hi @daniol

You can see in the description of "External Links Warning" setting is "Warn users when they have clicked on a link that will direct them to another site.". So, if you share a link as Status and click on it, this setting will trigger and show a warning. If you share a YouTube link as Video, then click on video embed, this setting won't trigger, just play video.

Regards.

Hi @harrison05 :

Unfortunately that's what is happening:

If you share a YouTube link as Video and click on video embed (image thumbnail), the video will be played AND the link warning will be displayed at the same time.

That does not work as designed, it's a bug.

Hi @daniol

We can't reproduce this issue on our side. When clicking on Youtube video embed on feed, it just plays video. You can submit a ticket in the client area, our team will help you check it on your site.
