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:

[gvideo="3688185030664621355"]1980's Izuzu Gemini Advertisement[/gvideo]

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.

Chris has give the Permission to use his AnyMedia 3.5 Code. His code is the best. Why did you not use his ?

[redlabour]

No it was not AnyMedia 3.5 is very stable. The only Things that have to be done :

More Features (and here comes the SEO Part)
Google and YouTube Player Update

So - it was less work as code a new one.

Hi!

I'm willing to spend a few days fulltime (17+ hours per day) on it to implement SEO features etc. and make it better but will it then be ok to require a returnlink?

The returnlink could be a small icon on the video template, like 16x16 with a link to information on how to obtain the mod for free on my site www.publiceren.net. Ofcourse no spamming etc, just information on how to obtain the mod and extra SE value to my domain wich is what I want.

You misunderstand me - you can release it as your Own Hack "AnyMedia 3.6.x" ....

Cris wont do it and gave permission to anyone who will.

Can you guys please stop hijacking my thread? :|

Anyway - can you fix it ? The Problem happens on every other Page then Showthread (not only vBa) where your BB Code is used. Look around for the Way you can use [GLOBAL] Commands to show modifications on every vBulletin Page/Template and you would have fixed it for vBa and every other Portal.

My plugin just uses the built in BBCode parser. If that parser isn't applied to certain pages, there's not much I can do about that unfortanetly.

Few quick questions or suggestions:

1) Is it possible to add a time out function?
2) Any chance to get the title of the video in the "header bar"?

I can't figure out why helper plugin is not workin on my site. It just give a black box and no video. If I use the partial url it works fine. And I have installed this on another site and it worked fine. The only other thing I have running on my site different from that one is photopost. But I dont know how that could interfere with it. I've also removed all my google adsense and analytics in case that was the problem. But nothing is working.

here is a link to an example
