Really useful mod :D

Installed and working fine on 4.1.2
thanks :)

Nominated!

installed and nominated !

works as it should on 4.1.2

thanks :)

[high]* Brandon Sheley clicks install[/high]

Just installed 1.1 update and testing on 4.04pl1 .... :)

Appears to be operating just fine ...

I like smart and intuitive add-ons that substitute for unnecessary steps for the end user and this is one of those ... :up:

Doug

Edit: oooppps.... found a problem. Have started to get emails from members saying that they're seeing YouTube videos being duplicated in just some posts, primarily older ones. Traced cause to a conflict with a mod we've been using for 5 years which is a BBCode [youtube]xxx[/youtube] add-on to handle YouTube videos even before vb4 did with their [video]xxx[/video] button.

Any way to have this mod ignore that old mod (too many posts for us to change) and not translate, adding a second duplicate video? .. or, can we make an SQL pass on the database and change all posts to something else to be compatible with his mod?

Works fairly well. I've noticed some YouTube links won't auto embedd. Example,

http://www.youtube.com/user/tdwpplaya - Will no embed automatically

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ABGIJwiGBc - Will embed automatically.

Is it because the first link is "user"/ and not watch?v= ?

Either way, very nice Mod. This is the kinda stuff I don't understand why is not built in to the vB software. Clicking the [video] button is completely (or should be) unnecessary!

Funny that you mention that, I had exactly the same problem. We didn't use video tags, just the [youtube=title]videoid[/youtube] thingy which caused above mentioned problem.
I made a script for myself which changed all [youtube]...[/youtube] tags to full urls like
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=*videoid*
to solve this problem. I attached it below.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Backup your database before running the query, disabling your forum might be a good idea, place it anywhere and delete it afterwards.
Edit the file before you run it with your database credentials and modify the table-prefix/name accordingly. Hit the "continue" link until the script doesn't make any more queries.
Oh and I had troubles with singlequotes in postings which messed up my query, so I simply escaped it. I didn't discover any problems with that, keep in mind that if your language makes excessive use of the ' character, you might want to find a way around that, I did not.

Will only work with old youtube tags in the form of:

Code:

[youtube]6mXM-oGggrM[/youtube]

and:

Code:

[youtube="hey check this out!"]6mXM-oGggrM[/youtube]

If you used a different tag, send me a PM and I try to help you out with the correct replacement.

The user-link will only display the profile page of the user, not a specific video. Which means, if that particlular user uploads a new video, the new video will be shown on this site. I'm not aware if the vB video tag translates this kind of url too, I find it rather unintuitive and uncommon and due to the lack of a video-ID in the url, it's not really supposed to be embedded :p

Gotcha. Not really that big of a deal, as most YouTube links don't have that User/. Thank you for the Mod, this was a much needed one. Now if some of the other videos would auto embed!

Thanks partner ... appreciate that ... :)

Those two BBCodes are EXACTLY the ones that we used for years, so there's a LOT of old YouTube links with them.

So, I simply execute that PHP file you attached and it will go through our entire database, altering them to something else?

I have no database prefix .... it just shows in the config file for vBulletin as ' ' with no prefix in between the single quotes. Just leave it as two single quotes in your PHP file?

BTW, my language is English ..
