Add Send to Friend button on embedded (in post) You Tube Video
 

Hi folks,

Firstly, I'm not a techie !!

While I can't write HTML and BB Code, I have been able to manage the backend (Admin) of my forums quite well and have been able with the help of people such as your selves to carry out various mods ( adsense etc).

I've cut and past some BB code from these forums ( Thanks !!) which now allows my forum users to post you tube videos within their posts. All is working very well there.

I've implemented this code using the Custom BB Code feature. HTML access is witched of for users.

I am now trying to add some code from CPH tools which will give me a "send video to a friend" button. I think that this button is a nice feature to accompany the embedded viseo feature as it will facilitate a certain amount of friendly viral marketing by my forum users.

When I add the code from cph to the end of the code for the video embedding, the send to a friend button button appears in the correct format and location, but won't work for some reason. I've posted the two code groups below.

If any guru can spot an obvious and simple correction (I suspect that it is something to do with the BB concersion ?) I'd be very grateful !

Kind regards,

Stuart ( Code groups follow !)
