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 this work with BrightCove videos?

Has anyone had problems with YouTube videos showing at BLANK in the display on Forum Home? Google videos show up fine, but YouTube ones show blank.

ETA
This problem has been fixed.

BUG,

The icons which call us the Youtube and Google BB Code, only work if you've used 'Reply' button, if you use quote or anything else, the buttons don't show up.

Is this mod going to be updated and fixed any time soon? I want to know whethere to discontinue using it or not. If a donation would help, let us know as I'd really like to see this potentially great mod in working order.

Would it be possible for 'sticky' posts with videos to always appear on forum home?

[FleaBag]

Hi Jan, any news on the new version of Media Player?

[SirTalksalot]

This shouldn't be in the completed mods section, as it's clearly not working properly, and it looks like it will never be working properly.
