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.

Getting a weird error. After we embed a youtube video. If the "go advanced" button is clicked under the quick reply box... it will load the advanced edit page for vbull then go directly to a youtube page. It happens on all our posts with youtube videos installed on them. Very strange!

Yep. I had to modify my plugin code in order to get rid of that error... and I think I may have had to modify the bbcode also for the newer youtube code.
