Auto Youtube Link-Converter
 

So basically this is a total easy-to-implement plugin, which converts standard youtube links to video-embeds on the fly without urging users to use the video-button because I think it is unnecessary.


On post display, the plugin checks if the post contains at least 1 youtube link in the form of
and converts them using the default vB video bbcode parser.

Code can be modified to fit your needs, altough there shouldn't be much to add.
If you're the special performance-freak, I'm curious if you can enhance data/query-performance. So let me know if you do.

INSTALL:

- Download attached XML File and import it as an addon.


Now every post containing youtube-links should display the embedded video instead.
Works with any number of youtube-links and any kind of text surrounding them.

Let me know if you have trouble/questions.

Sweet! Nominated!

You da man! :)

How it can be changed to replace link to bbcode on newpost & newreply not in quotes?

Works as it says.

Great job!
5 star and nominated.

10 second install! Works as described. Good job!

I wonder if the code can be modified to do the same with links to Picasa web albums, presenting them as slide shows?

@grc: sure it can. It basically checks for an occurence in the html-string, grabs a part of it (in this case the video-id) and replaces it with another string.
If you can give me specific information on how that picasa thing is formed, I can write you a plugin for that purpose.

Thanks works great

Thanks a lot :)
