Youtube Embed Full URL BB Code - [yt]

[1Unreal]

Right, there are lots of mods for embeding Youtube videos on here in one way or another. However they all require your users to get the ID and do it that way. If your users are not quite so savvy they may not know how to do this.

So this makes things very simple. Heres the syntax

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEl1xSPyOwA

Also, the URL doesn't have to be perfect. For example, if a user pastes in a URL such as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEl1xSPyOwA&feature=rec-HM-fresh+div it will still find the ID and embed it perfectly.

Simple!

The embed works fine, but I can't reply to any threads on any forum afterwards. I get the following message from Foxfire:

The page isn't redirecting properly


Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.


Any idea what would cause that? Where do I ask for help with this? New to vBulletin, I'm not sure where this should go.

All the hacks I've seen that embed Youtube does the exact same thing without having to use BB code? Does this do anything differn't?

Most, if not all, require you to use the ID where as this just requires the URL.

If you like to add a icon to editor tooldar then do this:

Find on editor_toolbar_on template this:

<td><div class="imagebutton" id="{$editorid}_cmd_wrap0_html"><img src="$stylevar/html.png" width="16" height="16" alt="$vbphrase[wrap_html_tags]" /></div></td>

[I]Add bellow this:

<!--custom bbcode youtube start -->
<td><div class="imagebutton" id="{$editorid}_cmd_wrap0_yt"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/youtube.gif" width="21" height="20" alt="Wrap [yt] tags around selected text" /></div></td>
<!--custom bbcode youtube end -->

Upload the image in to your style editor folder:

[thefarg]

Any way to change tag to [youtube] ? I changed it, and videos come up with that tag, but when I press button in editor, it always comes up with [yt] tag. How do I change tag that button puts in?

[One-Take]

I know this is probably dumb question but I got the link here to work if I manually add that to a post.. question is: where do I upload the image to to make it show up? Right now, there is no image, nor is there a red x appearing after modifying the editor_toolbar_on template as directed..

Ideas?

Thanks!

[elenh]

you have to upload the image to every style you are using for your forum in the folder "editor"

[One-Take]

you have to upload the image to every style you are using for your forum in the folder "editor"Already had that done.. what worked was to change where I added the additional code into <if condition="$show['code_bbcode']"> section... rather than <if condition="$show['html_bbcode']">

Works fine now..

:D

[Tommo224]

Works Beautifully! Thank you!

On the red x - Right Click and that will tell you exactly where to upload the image to.

Mine was: forum-> images -> editor

[Oceanside]

Seems to be working very well. Thank you. :)

Edit: I found a bug.. when going to edit the post with the video, the bb code & link disappears..... Uninstalled for now

I've noticed the same bug, I'll continue to use it while I'll not find a better mod or the bug will be fixed.
I suggest to add the same feature of "add image" button that ask to put the url of the video.

Thanks for your work

why the youtube icon doesn't work

<!--custom bbcode youtube start -->
<td><div class="imagebutton" id="{$editorid}_cmd_wrap0_yt"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/youtube.gif" width="21" height="20" alt="Wrap [yt] tags around selected text" /></div></td>
<!--custom bbcode youtube end -->

Thanks, but I am always a bit scary to install lofty mods on my forum. Shouldn't I?

[KrisP]

I dont understand others are not complaining about this error ??? This is what any user would do:

1. User click reply to post.
2. User paste youtube link in post (code in post now looks like this: *[*URL*]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX80KoTZv9g[*/*URL*])
3. User mark link
4. User click youtube bbcode icon - code now looks like this: [*URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX80KoTZv9g"]
[/*URL][URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX80KoTZv9g[/U*RL][U*RL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX80KoTZv9g"]
[/*URL]

How can you expect the users to figure out for themselves to avoid this :confused:

[johnmr]

I installed the product and etited the editor_toolbar_on and I got no icon.

I then added bbcode and I ended up having 2 icons. One was giving the tags and the other

I then removed the code from the editor file and I had one icon with the tags which doesn't work.

Any ideas or better instructions?

[johnmr]

I had to remove this $vBeditTemplate[extrabuttons] to have just the one image

It works ok but when you try to edit your post the you tube link or video isn't there. Any ideas?

[sherrym]

Works well...thank you.

[elrafei]

can i disable YouTube's new related videos feature on this mod ?

[elrafei]

YES!

To disable this feature, you'll have to apply a minor hack to the embed code that you copy from YouTube. The hack is to simply add "&rel=0" to the end of the embed src URL.

[Welshy2008]

Does this work on vB 4?

Can someone release this version for it please?

[Welshy2008]

Is this working on vBs 4.0.5 and 4.0.6 please?

[masterweb]

Same question here, does it works with vBulletin 4.0.5 or 4.0.6 ?

[Welshy2008]

Anyone?

[Gosef]

thanks alot

[minig0d]

I have it installed on 4... didn't have to mod the xml product any but changed the template from what is specified here slightly.... The file specified only changes the advanced reply options... there is a different template to add a youtube button to the quick reply template...

It would be cool if the author could update this listing though as it does seem to work fine on 4.x

Also it would be nice if it could also support youtube's new abbreviated URL's (youtu.be/whatever) that you get when you click the SHARE button on a video

[ShawneyJ]

i have added the normal youtube video size and added the tags as fullURL to the xml here. works with iphone and seems to be the only full url youtube bbcode that works for me plus full screen. thanks heaps. tested on 3.8.8 client forum.
