Board Optimization - SEO YouTube and Google Videos

This mod was inspired by by Embed XHTML valid YouTube and Google Video into your posts but this mod contains some bugs and isn't complete so I then needed to modify it and decided to do it really well and aply SEO technology to it.

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])
• SEO Video Index (demo)
• SEO Video Bar (demo)
• Ability to configure usergroups that have access to delete videos.

Instalation:

1. Import the XML product
2. Upload the attached icon images (or use your own)
   • Default is:
     • /images/editor/google.gif
     • /images/editor/youtube.gif
3. Open htaccess.txt, configure it (replace yourdomain with your domain), save it as .htaccess and upload it to the root of your forum
4. 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.
5. To install the Videobar anywhere on the forum use the folowing code:
   • PHP Code:

     <!-- SEO Videos Index Bar --> 


Done.

Have Fun!

Will there be any major problems if I try to install this on 3.5.4 ?

[redlabour]

Yes this one is buggy - take this : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=130868

or wait for AnyMedia 3.6 !

[nighthalk]

How can I make the icons show up for just for special forums?

[da420]

Works fine;

Except, whenever you try and put more than one or a few videos in the same post it labels most/sometimes all of them with the same name instead of the appropriate name of the video.

Any help getting this fixed is appreciated.

/me installs.

[furst]

Yes, I pointed this out to da420. I am having the same problem. I posted 10 videos (youtube) in the first post of the thread, and the first two had the correct names, while the other 8 videos were all using the same title as the first video.

For me the inline editor works fine btw, so the bug might be due to a difrent mod.

I am installing it again. Do i need to run the database intaller again.

No i have not deleted the seo video tables from the database.

Let me know.

Plus, is it just me or the <!-- SEO Videos Index Bar --> is not working anymore?

Thanks!
