Description:

This is unlike my past video mod which used bbcode, this one is more simple and works much better for the user too. What it does it parses the url when the post is viewed, so it will work with past links and new links.

So basically the user enters a video link in a post and its automaticly displayed as the actual embedded video.

vbAdvanced [3.0 RC2]

It happens to me sometimes posting you tube videos. I'm running it on 3.7.1 PL2 but since I was on 3.6.8 too.
I've noticed that sometimes the hack recognizes the hyperlink as a second link and that's the reason it displays the video twice. I have to edit my members' posts removing the hyperlink and this way the video is displayed only once.

I couldn't track exactly what makes it because sometimes happens some don't even using the same link hyperlinked.

It's not a big deal for me to edit the posts but if you can take a look on it would be great for you new upgrade.

This mod rocks !!!

I've just did it. Take a look at there and see the link I posted there. It's a tricky one on my forum. When users cut-and paste that kind of link it came with some BB codes attached and those are responsible to show the video twice.
Anyway, it seems to work fine on 2.0 !!!:up:

[mariocaz]

Coders when you will release the 2.0 ?????

Installed this.
Yes this is much easier than using the youtube bbcode.

Thanks.

Since upgrading to vb 3,7.2 we are getting a weird problem on our forum.

If a user posts a video, we are getting an extra youtube bbcode appear. That is messing up site layout. It wasnt happening before.

Heres a link:

Any suggestions appreciated.

We are using. 1.1.2

Just a suggestion if this ever gets updated...If this mod could give the user the option to turn off embedding when they are posting the link that would really be a big help. I've seen that sometimes people don't necessarily want every video link they post to embed into their thread.

is possible to added the dailymotion video?
