YouTube BB Code (W3C-compliant!) · **Released**: 01-13-2009

I searched for a decent YouTube BB code tag here, but every single one of them uses the embed tag, which is an illegal XHTML tag. I set out to find a way to create a W3C-compliant YouTube BB code tag, and this is what you see here.

Title: YouTube
BB Code Tag Name: youtube
Replacement:

HTML Code:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}&fs=1&hd=1" width="644" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}&fs=1&hd=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v={param}">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v={param}</a></object>

Example: [youtube]zlfKdbWwruY[/youtube]
Description: Embed a YouTube video. You only put the video ID in between the BB code tags (NOT the full URL!). Embedding must be enabled for the video!
Use Option: No
Image:

Important Note!
A link to the YouTube video is displayed if the YouTube video fails to load. There are a variety of reasons this might occur:

- You didn't properly enter the video ID between the BB code tags.
- You don't have the latest version of Flash.
- You are using Firefox and have a conflicting extension (AdBlock, NoScript, a Greasemonkey script, etc).
- The video doesn't allow embedding.
- You have some other problem on your end (corrupt browser install, spyware, virus, etc.).
- YouTube is currently having a problem.

I don't understand your first question. As for your second question, I don't think that's possible (but I may be wrong).

Unfortunately, it appears that YouTube has removed the ability to embed HQ and HD videos using the &fmt=22 trick. As a result, I'm going to remove the youtubehd tag from my script.

OK, HD videos will work again. I had to change &fmt=22 to &hd=1.

I noticed that when viewing a thread with this BBcode embedded YouTube video that the "Thread Tools"/"Search this Thread"/"Rate Thread"/"Display Mode" drop-down menus get covered up by the video when those menus are clicked on. All I can see are the first two menu drop-down options. (Most of our embedded videos are contained in their own threads, so the videos are always in post #1 of each of the video-forum threads. If the videos were only within posts #2 or greater then this issue wouldn't happen, since the thread menu links are immediately above post #1.)

Is there a way to make sure that the YouTube video doesn't get placed on the top-most layer of the thread?

Hm, good question. I don't know how this would be done offhand. The JavaScript for the pop-up menu would probably have to be altered to make sure it stays on top. I don't know what changes you'd need to make offhand.

Does the same behavior happen on your forum? We do use a custom skin.

Yes, it does, but I never even noticed it because my resolution is set to 1920x1200.
