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.

vBulletin [3.6.X to 3.7.0 beta 3]
vBlog [1.0.0 to 1.0.3]
vbAdvanced [3.0 RC2]

Thank you so much!
I have another issue with this mod but I understand that this may be more difficult to fix, anyways I write it here just to see if somebody has an advice or a workaround...
I've imported the message base of my old forum (based on phpBB2) into vBulletin. The old forum used to have a dedicated bbcode to embed YouTube videos, so the old posts would look like this:

Hey take a look at this new video [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4X7eFbP3u4[/youtube]

Is there any way to make these YouTube links work with passiveVid?

[Coders Shack]

nope, this mod is coded to embed [youtube]VIDEOID[/youtube] not [youtube]VIDEOURL[/youtube], you could change it yourself but i cant add what your asking to this mod, because this mod also supports video urls from inlineVid which is a different hack and this is the upgrade.

details? lol.

+ vBulletin version
+ What do you mean it didn't work
+ Did it install or was it unable to

Also remember you are not supposed to try to install the bitfield XML file as a product, your supposed to upload it... I'm not sure why no one knows this, basically you can install the product and drag the includes folder into your vBulletin directory (via ftp) and it should work fine.

I see. I'd change it if I knew what/where to change but unfortunately I'm very new to vBulletin and its mods.
