This mod will enable your users to publish YouTube or Google videos on your forum. It's managable via the adminpanel and the script will automaticly download the titles of the videos from YouTube or Google Video and store it in the database so it will get the videos indexed verry well and it's fast.
Some of the features:
Custom tagnames, manageable from the adminpanel
Automatic Video Title retrieval, with optional support for Lib Curl and user-simulated video title retrieval
Custom editor icons, managable from the adminpanel
Template based Google or YouTube video output
Support for local Google Video servers, to make your site local
Phrases for all text so it has support for multi-lingual forums
Optional, extend all links within the video with rel="nofollow", customizable seperately for YouTube or Google Video
Custom Video titles via tag option ([googlevideo="Video Title"]...[/googlevideo])
Ability to configure usergroups that have access to delete videos.
Instalation:
Import the XML product
Upload the attached icon images (or use your own)
Default is:
/images/editor/google.gif
/images/editor/youtube.gif
Open htaccess.txt, configure it (replace yourdomain with your domain), save it as .htaccess and upload it to the root of your forum
Run the included installer
The installer will also upgrade previous instalations
Bug: when you run the installer more then once, multiple of the same indexes are created. I haven't found a way yet to prevent this. I have posted some messages on MySQL forums to find an answere and will then upgrade the installer. For now it is adviced to run the installer just once and for upgrades it is adviced to check the PREFIXseovideos table after upgrading to see if there are any duplicate indexes configured to remove them if needed.
To install the Videobar anywhere on the forum use the folowing code:
PHP Code:
<!-- SEO Videos Index Bar -->
Done.
Have Fun!

Update: 18 februari 2007 (latest files from www.papegaaienforum.nl where this mod works very well).
Yes, I have the same problem with Smilies (on the right side of the text editor, not the dropdown box) after I installed this plugin. I am running 3.6.3 btw.
I am currently working on Any Media 4 SEO edition, it will be better then this mod and offer the same functionality.
First thing I will change is the parsing of videos, the videos will now be played with their original player to give credit to the videohosts as you may know they are losing money so this is the least you could do to pay them and I am aspecting it is ilegal to parse the videos via a custom player.
The smilie problem should be fixed with the latest product update (XML).
Best Regards,

Thanks Adult SEO . That works!
However, I am still having problem with Google Video post. I kept getting this error:
Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /includes/class_bbcode.php(166) : eval()'d code on line 65
Warning: file_get_contents(http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...85656910458954) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /includes/class_bbcode.php(166) : eval()'d code on line 65
The video display ok and I can play but kept getting this error. Could this have anything to do with mod rewrite disable on my host? TIA.
Is the add rel="nofollow" mean that members cannot find the youtube video at you tube? also can just admin and super admin add videos or can everyone? And can I put the videos in a members only area?
installed but the google.gif and youtube.gif images make my editor too wide for screen and the images are in the images/editor/folder . I emptied cache too. how do I fix?
Mine are empty too with a 'show all videos' link on bottom that goes to an error page?
Glad I have a practice forum
Im not sure, but i assume the .htaccess should create html pages, so thats probably also why that link goes to an error page, and also doesnt display the videos because of that.
