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:

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:

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.

Hi. Youtube is blocked in my country and my visitors want to see the videos. We can bybass the blockage by beatfiltering.com and some similar services. Does anybody know how i can bypass it in this mod?

I'm a bit confsed with this, how does it work. I installed the product and put the two image in the images/editor folder but then what do i do to get the ideo on, put the code in a post?

[mjalis]

how do add this option:

- Disable related videos on a embedded Youtube player

Just update the embed code with the new URL:
<object width="425" height="350">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Yc_J_kXaFSw&rel=0"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Yc_J_kXaFSw&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed>
</object>


Only has been added "&rel=0"

I have been using this for a while now. Youtube have added another url for uk users, how do i add, so that both will work, the url http://uk.youtube.com so that it will play into the code shown below.

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="400" style="margin:10px 0">
<thead>
	<tr>
		<td class="tcat" colspan="2" style="text-align:center">
			<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v={param}" title="View this video at YouTube in a new window or tab" target="_blank">YouTube Video</a>
		</td>
	</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="panelsurround" align="center">
			<object width="425" height="340" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}">
				<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}" />
				<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
				<em><strong>ERROR:</strong> If you can see this, then <a href="http://www.youtube.com/">YouTube</a> is down or you don't have Flash installed.</em>
			</object>
		</td>
	</tr>
