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:

http://forums.finalgear.com/test-for...-thread-14892/

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.

Hmm... somehow, since i installed i experienced whis problem, depending on the number ofvideos embedded, the browser title is modified.

Thisi s happening when a user clicks the "View Last" button, then the title adds the post number, and it's multiplied with the number of videos, the more videos, the more #posts added.

Thought it might be another product or plugin, so i disabled everything and checked... whenever this bbcode appears, the problems seems to be there.

Anyone has had a similar experience, already contacted vb.com support and did everything they told me to do... nothing worked.

Attacched image and url.

Have tested, it seems to be an ie7 problem, firefox seems to be running without a problem.

I've seen the problem happen also inside youtube.com

Can someone please tell me how to change the text out of the Editor and replace it with an icon ??? the text is breaking the editor (the text doesnt fit well in it) and I would like to make it look cleaner.

EDIT: NV I got it =)

Is there any security risk with this mod? Does it actually enable HTML in any way, which is a security risk in vB? I can't tell. Thanks.
