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.

Hi!

Great mod...

I was wondering if there is a way to edit the template for this mod or a way to remove the table that holds the flash object. I want it just to display the embedded code and not the complete table that holds the video in the post.

Could that be possible?

Thanks...

Ran into a problem with playing google video today. I have apost located at: http://fire-forums.com/forums/showth...?p=614#post614 with a google video that has been working fine up until today. Now, instead of showing the video it is just showing the google tags and the video ID (as originally inputted when i started the thread).

I have another video on my board that is a you tube video and that one is playing fine.

Anyone have an idea what went wrong?

[captainron19]

Well I got the google video working again. For some reason it required me to input the entire url of the video and it stopped workin when just putting in the video ID number

nice hack
thank you *installed*

Does anyone have a clue on how to hack the files in order to allow only a certain usergroup to post the Youtube videos? I tried to call $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], but that doesn't do any good :-/
