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:

http://forums.finalgear.com/test-for...-thread-14892/

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.

That's tough because every collapsible box has to have a unique ID and the BBCode -> HTML replacement is done via the built in custom BBCode replacer.

Simply put, I don't think it's possible unless I make the plugin itself handle the BBCode -> HTML replacement which I'd rather not do.

not compatible for stupid Forum users

There's a bug with CODE tags wrapping youtube or google tags. It shows the video inside the code instead of the text. You cant see this:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl2UUunlI2Q[/youtube]

instead you see the video inside the code box.

[Viper007Bond]

First off, the BBCode to HTML is done by vB itself, not my plugin. I didn't want to reinvent the wheel. So if this was actually a bug, it'd be a vB one.

Second, it's not a bug, it's actually intended behavior:

some text underlined text

If you don't want something to parse, then use the [ noparse ] tag.

some text [u]underlined text[/u]

What you posted only works here because this site doesn't have my plugin installed and therefore doesn't know about / parse the [youtube] tag.

outstanding add on. Worked very well. I have 2 quick questions...

1. Is there any plans to upgrade or add where a hosted video (Other than google or youtube) can be embedded in the thread. Say if I hosted a video on my web space, would there be an ability to embed it?

2. Is there a way to not have "Google Video" appear in the box of the video player?
