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:

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:

[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.

I'm using the following code for the plugin:

PHP Code:

$viper_patterns = array(
    '#\[youtube\]http://(www.youtube|youtube).com/watch\?v=(.*?)&(.*?)\[/youtube\]#si',
    '#\[youtube\]http://(www.youtube|youtube).com/watch\?v=(.*?)\[/youtube\]#si',
    '#\[gvideo\]http://video\.google\.([^/]*?)/videoplay\?docid=(\d+)(.*?)\[/gvideo\]#si',
);

$viper_replacements = array(
    '[YOUTUBE]$2[/YOUTUBE]',
    '[YOUTUBE]$2[/YOUTUBE]',
    '[GVIDEO]$2[/GVIDEO]',
);

$text = preg_replace($viper_patterns, $viper_replacements, $text); 


The first change means that you can include content from local sites like video.google.co.uk, the second change (using \d+) is possible because the docid always seems to be an integer.

Don't forget that the Google Video ID can be negative.

And I wasn't aware of Google.co.uk. I'll update and good thinking on the integer only. Thanks.

Great plug-in and works perfectly - thanks.

One thing - can you put update details in a revision list in the main entry post (above) for the plug-in - that way we don't have to scroll through pages of posts to find out what updates and new features have been made and added.

Thanks.

I looked at this for another 10 mins and think that this should do the trick for both expressions:

PHP Code:

$viper_patterns = array(
    '#\[youtube\]http://(www.youtube|youtube).com/watch\?v=([\w]+)(.*?)\[/youtube\]#si',
    '#\[gvideo\]http://video\.google\.([^/]*?)/videoplay\?docid=([\d\-]+)(.*?)\[/gvideo\]#si',
);

$viper_replacements = array(
    '[YOUTUBE]$2[/YOUTUBE]',
    '[GVIDEO]$2[/GVIDEO]',
); 


I spotted that if you preview a post the text in the editor window gets edited too which isn't ideal I guess. I wonder if there's a way of preventing that from happening?

I'm guessing that a link saying what BB Code you're using and a link to a post with it in would be handy for debugging.
