Board Optimization - SEO YouTube and Google Videos

This mod was inspired by by Embed XHTML valid YouTube and Google Video into your posts but this mod contains some bugs and isn't complete so I then needed to modify it and decided to do it really well and aply SEO technology to it.

This mod will enable your users to publish YouTube or Google videos on your forum. It's managable via the adminpanel and the script will automaticly download the titles of the videos from YouTube or Google Video and store it in the database so it will get the videos indexed verry well and it's fast.

Some of the features:

• Custom tagnames, manageable from the adminpanel
• Automatic Video Title retrieval, with optional support for Lib Curl and user-simulated video title retrieval
• Custom editor icons, managable from the adminpanel
• Template based Google or YouTube video output
• Support for local Google Video servers, to make your site local
• Phrases for all text so it has support for multi-lingual forums
• Optional, extend all links within the video with rel="nofollow", customizable seperately for YouTube or Google Video
• Custom Video titles via tag option ([googlevideo="Video Title"]...[/googlevideo])
• SEO Video Index (demo)
• SEO Video Bar (demo)
• Ability to configure usergroups that have access to delete videos.

Instalation:

1. Import the XML product
2. Upload the attached icon images (or use your own)
   • Default is:
     • /images/editor/google.gif
     • /images/editor/youtube.gif
3. Open htaccess.txt, configure it (replace yourdomain with your domain), save it as .htaccess and upload it to the root of your forum
4. Run the included installer
   • The installer will also upgrade previous instalations
   • Bug: when you run the installer more then once, multiple of the same indexes are created. I haven't found a way yet to prevent this. I have posted some messages on MySQL forums to find an answere and will then upgrade the installer. For now it is adviced to run the installer just once and for upgrades it is adviced to check the PREFIXseovideos table after upgrading to see if there are any duplicate indexes configured to remove them if needed.
5. To install the Videobar anywhere on the forum use the folowing code:
   • PHP Code:

     <!-- SEO Videos Index Bar --> 


Done.

Have Fun!

A few small ones, nothing to worry about.

Personally, I don't use that. Install it and find out for yourself.

Adult_SEO nothing for this problem?
May the problem is the .htaccess file?

Loads of people are having this problem, can someone please give an answer to sort it out. I also can get video in threads, but the video.html just turns up nothing. To the best of my knowledge I've got the htaccess set up correctly.

Hi!

The Video bar will also be implemented in Any Media 4 SEO edition. This mod will have the same functionality + a lot more!

Except, whenever you try and put more than one or a few videos in the same post it labels most/sometimes all of them with the same name instead of the appropriate name of the video.

Any help getting this fixed is appreciated.

Another thing I found with this installed. When I try and access my site, some of my members don't put the www. in front of the url. It has always worked before. Now when I type http://mysite.com instead of http://www.mysite.com it will give a page not found error. When I take the .htaccess edits out of the file it works just fine.

So basically with this installed;

http://mysite.com/forum - does not work
http://www.mysite.com/forum - does work

Without this installed (htaccess edits taken out);

http://mysite.com - does work
http://www.mysite.com -does work

Any suggestions on a way for this to get to work?
