BB Code Enhancements - Embed XHTML valid YouTube and Google Video into your posts

==============================
DON'T FORGET TO CLICK INSTALL!
==============================

Just thought I'd share what I did to allow my users to embed YouTube and Google Video videos into posts on my forum. This is my very first mod I've made since switching to vB, so forgive me if I screwed something up.


Demo:

The black bar will be different for you as it'll match your theme (it uses the same style as the whole quick reply box).


Upgrading from v1.x:

Just remove the plugin you added before (manage plugins -> delete) and then continue on to the installation instructions.

If you already have v2.x installed, you do NOT need to do this.


Installation:

Download and install the attached product. It will automatically create the new custom BBCode and add in some filtering plugins.

Save the two attached images and upload them to /images/editor/.


Usage:

Here's some examples:

Using vBAdvanced? It lacks the hook this plugin uses apparently, so if you wish to use this plugin with it, you need to use only the video ID and NOT the full URL for it to display correctly. Nothing I can do about it, it's vBAdvanced's fault.


How do I customize the look of the new box thingies?

Just edit the new custom BBCode items. It's in the admin area, near the bottom.

Status: Not Installed

Sorry, but I only offer support to those who have marked it as installed.

As for the other sites, Break.com's embed code has nothing in common with the URL you view the video at, so it's out. Streetfire is doable. fquick.com wouldn't be used by many people, so it's not worth my time. ebaumsworld is also nearly there (is it really that hard to link to the video rather than embed it?).

Don't put your money on that one

Looks like it does not work in Preview mode..

Lots of members told me it was not working and I tried my best to tell them how to do it. They then told me it was because they though they were doing it wrong since it wasn't playing in the preview post.

Just thought i'd let you know.

Yeah, I'm aware of the issue. It's because of some cheating I had to do in order for it to work right with the WYSIWYG editor.

When I have a chance to tweak this plugin again in the next few days hopefully, this is one of the things I'll address.

Alright, well I'll consider it then.
