Embed XHTML valid YouTube and Google Video into your posts · **Released**: 11-04-2006

==============================
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:

Code:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl2UUunlI2Q[/youtube]
[youtube]hl2UUunlI2Q[/youtube]
[youtube="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl2UUunlI2Q"]Aston Martin Crash[/youtube]
[youtube="hl2UUunlI2Q"]Aston Martin Crash[/youtube]

Code:

[gvideo]http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3688185030664621355[/gvideo]
[gvideo]3688185030664621355[/gvideo]
[gvideo="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3688185030664621355"]1980's Izuzu Gemini Advertisement[/gvideo]
[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.

How do you install this? I tried to import but it told me it was a plugin. Where do you need to attach it, and what do I fill in the fields?

Thanks =)

Go to the "Download / Upload Plugins" page and scroll all the way down.

Sorry man, I was a bit dumb, thanks for the help =)

No worries.

Since this hack uses a feature which is built in the code of vbulletin, I wonder if there is a way to embed mp2 and wmv videos hosted in the forum's server.

I'm asking myself that same question.

Processor usage I imagine that it is on the machine of the user executing the video.

Standard custom BBCode without a plugin should be able to handle that since no transformation is needed. Just Google on how to embed those kinda videos.

As said, it's YouTube or Google Video's bandwidth.

As for CPU usage, uh, I guess technically yeah, but it's just a Flash file. Flash is all over the web and is probably gonna use like 0.1% of your CPU...

Ah, I had hard coded "www." in. Thanks for pointing this out.

Plugin updated to make "www." optional.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
